Product Design

[koki]

Hi, i'm new on this forum (which is fantastic !!)
at first sorry for mistakes about the language, i'm french... but i'll do my best.

My dream is to be illustrator but i have to get graduate from a school where we learn all jobs during 3 years and after, we have to choose one (so for me illustrating)

So we have Advertising, Product Designing, Environment Designing (archi), art history...

i'm not very good at designing but i found it very interesting. I wanna know if here, there is designer. Or if you know a website as this one about Design sketch, work in progress... because i wanna progress ^-^

I'm searching works seems likes that:

How about checking out the Adobe user forum, since Illustrator is a popular design too?

Look under the In the Community Column. There is even a site in French.

Good luck.

hi

I am a product designer // well graduated as one [ unemployed still! ffs :P )

Well it really depends on what turns you on?

Well most design work ie drawings / renders are not too different from what you see in these forums or on cgtalk.com.

You mostly see nice renders by transport design students but they have to learn all that stuff or get taught it! then apply it with a 3d model etc.

In my class some ppl could hardly draw but they had good ideas that were finalised buy either making a model or using a 3d software etc.

for sites just go to google type in product design / transport design you will get various students works.

btw try conceptcars [on google] you can see students portfolios.
also try umea university website you will see some cool stuff there 2

they stuff you have shown are presentation boards done by students. Just looks attractive because ofthe layout. [ sketches/ 3d model / render ]
concept 4 and 5 jpgs are what you will find in design sketch books mostly they are idea processes.

more questions ask plz! :)

this for someone who finds it informative!

ie in design you will have :

idea
research
conceptual work
design
development
prototyping
final model
presentation
