Strategic outlook in industrial design assessment based on product category

摘要

Assessing industrial design is an intricate process of product analysis which aims to establish the quality degree of a product and considers all its implications from technical restrictions to appearance. Industrial design is related to mass produced articles obtained through industrial processes and whether products are articles of adornment or machines, both technical and aesthetic dimensions are relevant and influence the design process. All types of industrial products can be assessed using a numerical method based on the same criteria, however the same principles have a different impact on various types of products. The author proposes a customized approach in order to achieve an objective assessment for different concepts of design.
