In fact, before the revision of the professional catalogue, many colleges and universities did not have the professional name of "product design", but called "art design" or "industrial design". It was not until 20 12 "Catalogue of Undergraduate Majors in Colleges and Universities" was published that it was uniformly changed to "Product Design". At present, the specialty of product design is a combination of some majors of art design and some majors of industrial design.
The main courses of extended data product design specialty include: design sketch, design color, plane composition, three-dimensional composition, computer-aided design, thinking and creativity, design introduction, expression techniques and so on. Because product design involves all aspects of social life, the curriculum of each school is different according to the training direction and teaching characteristics: some focus on home improvement, some focus on textiles, some focus on ceramics, some focus on the design of public facilities, and some focus on the appearance of industrial products. Candidates can specifically check the curriculum of this professional college.
For example, the product design major of China Geo University focuses on jewelry design. The main courses are: composition, sketch and color, introduction to design, design creativity, intangible cultural heritage, metalworking foundation, inlaying, carving wax, jade carving processing, introduction to jewelry, jewelry design, jewelry expression methods, computer-aided design, etc.
