On The Occurrence Process And Implementation Methods Of Product Design

Design applications are so extensive,with very important implications.However,most of current available literature on design is reflected in a narrow field,focusing on the view that "design" is a stage before creation and then is got into a process of production and circulation as well as consumption.This process is mainly because technology is at work,but has nothing to do with design.In fact,this narrowly understanding of "design" is theoretically unreasonable that it has brought many drawbacks to the practice of design.Therefore,this research is devoted to transcending this narrowly understanding of "design".From a perspective of design philosophy,product design is regarded as a dynamic process of life cycle presentation.Design is the soul of products and runs through the whole process of product design.From this perspective,this research analyzes and understands the nature of the design and its realization mode,objectively displaying the generative process of design to reveal the different forms of existence of the design,so as to achieve a deep understanding of the nature of the design.Firstly,this research begins with the thinking process of product design,systematically sorting out the the target tasks,elements and structures,the generative processes and conditions of design.It addresses the meta-process of design generation through a relatively narrow and specific field of technical artifacts-product design.The meta-process refers to the formation of the initial state of the product from a view of the ontology,that is,the process of completing the work.Also,from a view of epistemology,it is summarized as the meta-process,that is,the basic logic of the design thinking.The meta-process is summarized as the process of foreseeing-searching-conceiving-expressing.The meta-process of product design reveals the importance of the process of product formation at the beginning of the product.That is,the product has been given the soul and the most basic functions and forms of the product in the stage of the work.This is the basis for the evolution of the product at different stages,so it has the initial implications.The exploration of the meta-process suggests that the shape of the product changes in the future,whose inner thinking process is nothing but the repetition of this basic logic of the process of foreseeing-searching-conceiving-expressing.This research introduces the concept of product life cycle,and the final realization of design is regarded as a constraint interaction between design subject and external environmental conditions,with the constantly changing and expanding state of the design subject and a dynamic activity process of product form by constantly adjustment.From the designer’s point of view,design is the result of completion by anticipatory perception before a thing does not appear.However,if the result of the design is reversed,the design is a process that will be "discovered’,"created",and "presented" in the future.Describing the productization(materialization)process of product design is considered as a continuation of the design,or called the "subsequent stage." It is the process of designing as the result of human thinking that it directs at the realization of materialization.According to the product life cycle process,the realization mode is seen as the following aspects,namely,the expression of thinking results(work),the appearance of technology(products),the packaging of commercial products,the display(commodities),the purchase and use by users,and the abandonment by users(Waste).This cycle reveals the design of the life signs of the product,that is,the design runs through the processes of developing from nothing and from use to disposal.In other words,the life of a product is the life of design.The product is the carrier of design ideas and design concepts.When the life of the product is over,the design of this product is over.The constant change of demand prompts the beginning of new product design.Design promotes the development of human and human society.Although the design thinking process at each stage follows the basic logic,the designers at each stage are different,and the final expression of the results is different.This process has its own particularity.The stage of the expression of thinking is dominated by the designer.The formation process of the design concept is seen as the beginning stage of the product.The designer must anticipate the overall shape and system function of the product,conceive the structure and material of the product from the details and lay the foundation for the materialization and realization of the product through perfect expression.The stage of the product revealed by the technology is dominated by the engineering designer.The product is the continuation process of the design concept of the work,which is the presentating stage of product design concept.The engineer’s work is "how to realize" the"design form" of the designer.Therefore,engineering design in the engineering stage mainly conceptualizes the technical arts and searches for realizing methods and anticipates technical risks and costs before production,according to the design expression.The designer’s expression is engineering drawings and process flow diagrams.The stage of commodities packaged and displayed by the commercial industry are dominated by packaging and planning designers.This stage is still a continuation of the design concept of the work.The main task at this stage is to turn the product into a commodity that makes it more competitive in a business environment.The main task of packaging and planning designers is to "put products into a business environment to make them more competitive".Therefore,the process of product stage design still undergoes the process of foreseeing-searching-conceiving-expressing,namely,packaging.The planning designer must first foresee a business environment or user experience purchase scenario,search for a variety of similar products,analyze selling points,conceive competitive advantages and marketing strategies,and express their "charm" and expressively to consumers about value through multimedia.The stage of supplies purchased and used by users is dominated by consumers.The product design concept contains the information and connotation of the designer’s concepts,values,aesthetic standards and new lifestyles to guide consumption.However,consumers are not completely controlled by designers.In consumption,consumers predict the use value of products by feeling the experience,using evaluation and participating in the design,and then searching for better alternatives,comparing the price/performance ratio,and finally determining the purchase action.In use,users anticipate the specific use of the product according to their respective use situations,and also search for better ways of use,and even simple design expression.The stage of waste abandoned and reused by users is led by engineering designers and involved by the public.The public participation is centered on the government and environmentalists.Scientists,designers,entrepreneurs,scholars and all citizens respond to form social synergies and carry out top-level design for environmental protection.Governments and environmentalists anticipate their hazards,searching for the possibility and scientific basis,conceptualizing environmental protection policies and measures,expressing new environmental protection concepts and top-level design solutions.The consumers conceive new forms of materials and materials and directly reuse.Engineers based on design semantics and technical structure expression conceive recycling technology,searching for recycling technology implementation methods,anticipating technical risks and possible costs before recycling,finding recycling technology methods with a central role.The fifth chapter is still concerned with the discussion of the generative process and realization mode of product design.It suggests a good symbol of "good design" that good design should conflict with the goal of coordinating products,goods,supplies and wastes.Good design should be reflected in the systematic thinking of the product life cycle.The future of good design should be based on nature and people.To achieve this goal,the designer needs to coordinate with the different subjects of the design process,thus making the designer’s foresight more forward-looking,searching for a more comprehensive system,conceptualizing more comprehensive and profound expression to be easily communicated.There are many influencing factors in design.When faced with complex problems,designers constantly adjust and correct multiple contradictions in order to achieve conceptual fitness,expression fitness,function and form fitness.The design process is a process of "continuous selection and correction".The essence of design is to achieve a fitness by "reconciling contradictions".
