DESIGNER CASE STUDIES: ARCHITECTURE, CRAFTS AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Broken into three distinct sections - Architectural Design, Craft Design, and Industrial Design - this program explores the work of three vastly different designers. In 'Architectural Design' we talk to Aaron Wallis and Wade Trevaen from Convic Design, architects of the world's largest skate park in Shanghai, China. In 'Craft Design' we visit Steve Baker, glass blower from Bristol Blue Glass, producers of fine hand-blown glassware. And in 'Industrial Design' we hear from Alicia Mintzes, designer of Sharp Safe, a prototype sharps disposal unit for public spaces. We ask these designers a range of questions and see them in action to reveal their design process.

FACTORS OF DESIGN 1: INNOVATION

This innovative and visually sophisticated program will inspire young designers to innovate in their own work. Our vibrant presenter inhabits an undefined black space as he articulates concepts of innovation by drawing in the empty space about him. From here we jump off to design studios and workshops to see innovation at work. We meet the Australian team behind the EnterMo BlackBerry case as they develop an innovative approach to case design for mobile devices. Through this and other examples we define innovation, explore factors that impact on successful innovation, and find out how we can apply innovative practices in our own work.

FACTORS OF DESIGN 2: TIME AND MONEY

They say 'time is money', and nowhere is this truer than in the fast-paced world of modern product design, where success and obsolescence can be separated by just a few weeks or months. This innovative and visually sophisticated program explores the important factors of time and money in the design and marketing of a product. Case studies of an innovative wall mount for Apple iPad and a go kart sticker manufacturer highlight the costs of the design process, including productivity and efficiency, and time management. Then we see how manufacturing, distribution, and pricing strategies all impact on the design process.

FACTORS OF DESIGN 3: VISUAL, TACTILE AND AESTHETIC

This program introduces two inspirational new products and explores the visual, tactile and aesthetic factors that inform their design. '321 Water' is an attractive personal water purifier aimed at health-conscious women. 'Tear Lab' is a non-threatening medical tool for measuring salt levels in tears. The Australian designers of these products show us prototypes and development drawings and talk frankly about their design process. We see how their designs consider line, colour, shape and form, as well as structural elements, and touch and feel. This is all underlined with design theory, providing an excellent examination of the principles of good design.

DESIGN: A TEAM APPROACH

We often think of design as a solo process, with one visionary chipping away at a project to create a masterpiece, but usually reality couldn't be further from the truth. Design projects often require a group effort with each team member contributing their skills to an overall vision. In this program we see how a team works towards a common goal from the client interview stage through to the design stage. We investigate planning and communicating ideas, right through to production. We also demonstrate how useful evaluation can be in monitoring the team's progress towards a common goal. We also hear tips and ideas from professionals in the field.

REDESIGNING A PRODUCT

Many of the products that we use, wear and rely on have been redesigned time and time again. For a designer, redesigning a product is a way of perfecting an original idea or transforming it to meet the new needs of the market. In this program we demonstrate the various methods, techniques and strategies designers use when redesigning a product. We describe the principles of intellectual property and the importance of acknowledging the intellectual property of others. Viewers will develop an understanding of the role of the designer when a product is redesigned, and learn to develop a structured approach towards the design process.
