Necessary Aspects of Product Designing Service
There have been dramatic changes in our perception and demands to a product nowadays compared to a few decades ago. In the 1960s individuals were happy to have a car that brought them from A to B without breaking down too often on the way. The quality, according to today’s standards, was dreadful. Then came the Japanese who introduced superior quality, which taught everybody a lesson. They developed processes such as Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and also implemented practices from abroad such at Total Quality Management (TQM). Today, we expect the finest quality and safety from products.
Very much the same has happened to product design. Not long ago design for products like computers or cellphone was basically non-existent. Phones resembled an ugly brick. And computers had the very same styling and appeal as an old Soviet concrete housing block.
One of the 1st corporations that took industrial product design seriously was the German business Braun. The chief Designer, Dieter Rams, identified ten aspects of good design that everyone can follow.
Good design should be:
– An innovative product
– Makes a product effective
– An aesthetic product
– Makes a product understandable
– Is unobtrusive design
– Is honest design
– Is long lasting design
– Is ecological design
– Is as little design as possible
With his legendary products Rams created a completely new chapter in product design, as we know it today. According to Rams, just one company is following these standards today – Apple company (he hasn’t heard of DETEKT Design yet). Apple with its’ products – the iPhone, iPod and Mac redefined our attitude towards design. Computers were simply ugly, until the Apple introduced the iMac. A stunning, beautiful computer system that showed everyone how a computer had to look!.
