Chapter 10 Ulrich and Eppinger - Product Design and Development
Western European industrial designers emphasized the importance of geometry, precision, simplicity, and economy in the design of products apart from functional requirements.
In America, the industrial designers were at the service of sales and advertising. They emphasized the exterior of the product as a way to attract buyers. Industrial designers created nonfunctional aerodynamic shapes to create product appeal.
It is now accepted that all products that are seen by people depend critically on ID for commercial success.
Industrial design now has two important categories: ergonomic and aesthetic design.
