Styling and design: intuition and analysis in industrial design

Aesthetic Design Process: Descriptive Design Research and Ways Forward

“…[5,6,8]). Real time data collection methods such as protocol studies, ethnographic participation, and observations of ongoing projects can offer promising opportunities to explore the tacit and intuitive aspects of a styling process.…”

“…Tovey [8] has described the styling design process in the car industry. In the car industry, products generally evolve since there are no radical changes in the design of cars.…”

Role of sketching in conceptual design of car styling

“…Schön and Wiggins (1992) emphases that there can be emergent properties in the design medium: each new gesture creates new problems to describe and to solve. All these considerations create a common ground among designers, of which the holistic activity is connected to a wide action of information's searching, hand in hand with artistic competence (Tovey, 1992(Tovey, , 1997. During the making of the final sketches, mental representation consists of a succession of accurate and detailed images (shape, constituents, aspect, impressions linked to the environment, as well as a coloured background or a detailed environment of the vehicle), which offer more acuteness and realism.…”

“…Visual designers have the use of a holistic thinking, and the development of an overall solution proposal conceived as a hole seems to be fundamental in the process (Tovey, 1992(Tovey, , 1997. This first overall point of view is a condition for creativity.…”

Strategies for the Transition to CAD Based 3D Design Education

“…However, because of both its relative youth and its roots in the art school approach it has lacked any traditional form of research. [7] Industrial/Product design and Engineering design terms sometimes are taught the same by researchers or academics but there are differences between them. The term Industrial design was traditionally associated with styling and ergonomics to later become Product design, where designers are more aware of technical issues of materials, manufacturing processes, and assembly.…”
