Great video John - super that you are willing to be vulnerable and show the history without arrogance. A big problem in the design world is that a lot of people rise up, become highly paid, earn accolades, and never speak of their earlier work or challenges along the way. Worse still, they completely disregard the help that they received along the way. Great analysis of your journey to the exceptional levels of performance you have fairly and appropriately earned.
Thanks! I think one key thing to realize is that everyone who is successful seems like they were always that way. It just isn't the case. Even reaching a level of competent (but not exceptional) proficiency in your craft requires incredible toil and sacrifice....just thousands of hours of boring and repetitive drills and exercises. It's a series of failures with the occasional glimmer of hope.
Wow, this video really inspired me. I recently got my bachelors degree in ID in Paraguay and moved to the US looking to get my master and got very overwhelmed on how competitive it is here specially in New york, I would look at other portfolios and feel that I'm behind everyone. I always saw myself good at what I do but always end up comparing my work with other great ones here which puts me down, this video helped me to understand that I just need time to improve my craft, work hard, never give up and get to that level I'm aiming at
I've been so bent on trying to get amazing level skills in ID during my time at college, despite the fact that I haven't been in similarly conducive environments or found similar resources and inputs that people who are amazing at ID in college have. The feeling that I'm late to the game has been preventing me from making any progress. Thanks to this video, I feel a shift in my thinking. It's okay if my timeline isn't the same as that of the people I see online. As long as I keep struggling, I'll find a direction I'm happy with one day! It doesn't have to be now (an unrealistic goal). Thank you!
@@Design.Theory I studied in a Polytechnic where most of my friends were studying Architecture, Industrial Design, etc... I never understood the design process during these times, but after getting into Apple's products, I started to appreciate their design, your videos are helping me out to understand these concepts. Keep up the good work!
As an engineer looking to go back to school for ID.... this was really inspiring to see and was a glimmer of hope when you feel (know) there is kind of a daunting road ahead. Thanks for being willing to show the progression and the process.
Hey Chris. You'll do fine as long as you work hard. If this is your second degree, you will have a distinct advantage...both in terms of maturity, approach, and of course directly relevant experience in engineering.
@@Design.Theory Thanks. it will be my second after working in tech for 4 years as a ME/EE (read jack of all engineering trades). I would be curious to know your thoughts (maybe in another video) on Grad school in ID vs. undergrad. I know the obvious differences, but for those who already have a technical degree, it seems a little awkward to go back to a second undergrad vs. trying to find a masters program and focus on the sketching/rendering on your own with supplemental learning resources.
@@chrisantle7870 I never got a masters, so it's hard for me to comment on its utiliity in terms of securing employment. I don't think it would be strange to get a second degree, though. The more training you can get, the better. In my (admittedly limited) view, it would seem that a longer undergrad program would be better than a short grad program. Please take this advice with a grain of salt.
I'm exactly at this point right now (the beginning stage). I draw my lines slowly, I don't understand how some of the models I make come together, I sometimes don't understand how to shade. I haven't started industrial design as a program yet but I'm about to. It's good to see how far you've come now and hopefully I could replicate that.
Hey thank you so much for uploading this!!!! it's so useful!!!! It really made me reflect on the fact that at my uni we focus more on how to use software reather than drawing by hand, and it kind sucks because it's definetly a really important ability
There is a LOT to learn in the field of industrial design. Your university education is primarily meant to give you a broad overview, and then you have to pick a focus on your own. If you want to focus on early concept development and hand sketching, then go for it! Just because your university does not teach it doesn't mean you can't learn it!
As a student finishing school and just about to go to uni, this gave me a lot of confidence in my own work and that I don't need to worry too much about being perfect as soon as I start. As you have, I can learn and develop over time and become better. A great video thanks :)
dude you've just given me so much confidence, especially job hunting during a pandemic, and really helped put a lot into perspective. Defiantly should have watched this video first instead of the portfolio review of a senior designer!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been studyin industrial design for 2 years and I’m not the most talented person in my class. I’ve always thought that my sketches aren’t good enough, but I believe in progress
@@Design.Theory I’m almost done with my first semester and wow I don’t know if I can compare to even what you’ve called bad 😅 it’s been tons of fun though and my passion has only grown so I’m looking forward to what next semester will bring and where my skills will improve
Hi john! i really like your video, im actually a industrial design student in Chile, with the pandemic I lost a lot of knowledge with online classes, My friends and I came to the conclusion that we are very frustrated with the Career... I don't know how to feel prepared to work in the future, and this makes me feel very anxious. I feel like I have a lot to learn.
This is comforting, not the same field and not the same situation, but i am struggling now in grad school and i feel left behind because of how slow my progress is
I am in the same boat as you were my professors know ,my weak spot is sketching but they tell me I have great ideas that is definitely one of the things that motivates me to continue. Thanks for sharing this I'm going to work my butt off this sophomore year to get better at sketching.
Great video, really good to see the journey you've been through and can see how quickly you improved. You sold yourself short on the foam models, that's a hard skill and something that my class at university struggled with.
yeah i was a little heavy on my criticism in this video. I think that a lot of the work was maybe not as bad as I'm making it out to be, considering a lot of this is freshman/sophomore work.
Great Video! Thank you for sharing! Definitely feels good to know that design does take time to pick up. School makes it seem like if you cant pick it up 100% in the first 2-3 years, you are screwed.
I love this. This is so humbling, especially now that we are at a time where it is very fast paced and we forget that sometimes (honestly most of the time) we have to learn certain things or to start at the very bottom to be great at our craft. And understanding the process is very important to be a good designer. I have one question as an industrial designer in the Philippines: how can I penetrate the design industry abroad? Again very nice work.
"How can I penetrate the design industry abroad?" My advice is to do great work that will get featured on blogs and social media. Easier said than done. But if you focus on the quality of the work, you'll be in better shape. Another very important thing is just networking. Talk to designers abroad on discord servers etc (there's a design theory discord server with 2000+ members)
@@Design.Theory something in the lines of that happened to me too, but even before applying. I emailed a few professors my work at the school that I wanted to get in to get their opinion. Still got in though, so I just want to let that professor who told me that I wouldn't get in a sincere fuck you.
The shape of (D)SLRs is not necessarily a consequence of film vs digital, but of the SLR concept. You need a prism somewhere above the lens, that's why they are all bulky in that area. Your render cannot have an optical viewfinder, based on its shape :) It's funny that now you have mirrorless cameras which kinda look like your design, more compact at the top, but they are not SLRs. But those have somewhat gone back to the classical retro design of 35mm cameras.
oh wow well I am at the level of your very first sketches at the moment and I wish I could sketch like those sketches around the 4:20 mark that you said were not very good haha, I've got a lot of work to do if I wanna succeed as a product designer :( I have also just graduate from product design technology and I have learned to sketch better there but have not been practicing at all for a couple months now so I feel like I'm back to the start even with the knowledge I've learned I'm just unable to put it on paper anymore...
Thank you for sharing your progress and improvements with us here John, it is invaluable and very motivational. I would like to ask, however, is it ever to late to study and become an industrial designer? I am in my late 20s (approaching 30) and already have a college degree in another field, but would like to become an industrial designer as soon as I can (say, in a year). What are some courses or qualifications I can learn at home to become an industrial designer without school? Thanks again :)
16:25 as a swiss person id also like to have a word with you xD Ngl even the weaker sketches from the first 2 years are impressive, how tf will i get a job with my portfolio -.-
Wow~It is very inspiring! My work now is just like your previous work, honestly, it is really terrible.I am a sophomore studying industrial design now, and hope to improve sketching skills now. Which books did you read or which ways did you practice at that time?
I did make a physical prototype, but it was not functional. Honestly the proof of concept would not have been hard to achieve. It's just a Peltier Unit and some insulation. But time was tight.
See most of the comments are over a year back. This video was helpful, but I feel as though I’m very weak in autocad and that’s hindering me from being confident as an industrial designer. Is it possible to have a career as a designer without the autocad skills to complement sketches and ideation’s?
I think it's a lot easier to look at past work if you know that you're a lot better now. I think it would be REALLY hard to put my work out in the public back in 2009, because my future skills development was very uncertain to me at that point.
How much engineering did you have during your course. The rate of progress during your first year looks quite high if i look at my studies. We got a lot of subjects like manufacturing and cad drawing to a production level for simple products. Im curious if it is a tradeoff
Thank you for your video I am in process to embark in a new field ID it give me a perspective I am good at sketching and I paint (oil) I have many dreams about interesting products I design them , but I would love to build it. I am not looking for degrees or jobs I am independent I like to build my designs. Like I build my home that I design it but I am not a architect. Can you suggest a good friendly software for beggining ID.? Thank you for info and congratulations your persistence got you the career.
@@goldvines16 discord.gg/2U9tUz that link will lead you to the design theory discord channel. You can ask questions to a group of industrial designers (i'm in there a lot too). Unfortunately, I don't know very much about any masters in ID courses. I think the question you should ask yourself is why you want to do a masters program. Once you know what you want to get out of the program and learn, it will be easier to find a program that accommodates you.
As an industri9al designer did you have to learn basic graphic design and logo design? And how much do you use those skills in your current works especially logo designs
I have never designed a logo professionally, except for the Design Theory logo, which is average at best. You do need to have a basic understanding of layout for presentations, though.
@@martyboi I did some work for them, yes (including the rendered image in that article). I was awarded several utility and design patents through that packaging work.
@@Design.Theory Did you work with a team of designers or you did it all yourself...? Will you also start your own company someday and create your own products? Thanks!
@@martyboi I led the design of that particular line of products and probably did 95% of the design work for it. There were other projects and other designers there, though. Like any project, it was also a huge team effort by engineers and marketers and salespeople and everyone else you can think of. So it's not like I did everything all by myself. I just did the design.
So, I don't want to be the guy drawing these things up... Im terrible at sketching, and quite frankly, its not what i want to do. I am good at coming up with new ideas of products that would solve problems, I would need to work with a person like you to work out the details. I am an idea guy 100%,. What would that job or possition be called, if even there is one...
If you were bad at industrial design with this portfolio, this means I never started industrial design for 4 years of education. And also means I'm a huge trash. Thank you for the video btw
I think it might be hard to get to a professional level without at least some school. But starting with some of my videos is probably a good idea just to learn the basics :)
@@mechlabz2586 Nope, physical model built out of foam and covered in polyster resin and then primed like 20 times. Then painted with a final coat of high quality automotive paint.
Yes, I think it's possible, but very difficult. I think you'd have a better shot as a design engineer.... Which is basically a hybrid of both. It's also a pretty lucrative field

Like any project, it was also a huge team effort by engineers and marketers and salespeople and everyone else you can think of. So it's not like I did everything all by myself. I just did the design.
Where do you design the product?
which is the best tool for creating portfolio? indesign/illustrator/canva?
I use InDesign
So, I don't want to be the guy drawing these things up... Im terrible at sketching, and quite frankly, its not what i want to do. I am good at coming up with new ideas of products that would solve problems, I would need to work with a person like you to work out the details. I am an idea guy 100%,. What would that job or possition be called, if even there is one...
If you were bad at industrial design with this portfolio, this means I never started industrial design for 4 years of education. And also means I'm a huge trash. Thank you for the video btw
lol you're not trash. Just keep designing and you'll get better!
10 year ago you is literally now me
I would like to know how to learn design myself without school ? Thanks
I think it might be hard to get to a professional level without at least some school. But starting with some of my videos is probably a good idea just to learn the basics :)
how did you created these images of camera and all?
They're photographs of a model
CAD model?
@@mechlabz2586 Nope, physical model built out of foam and covered in polyster resin and then primed like 20 times. Then painted with a final coat of high quality automotive paint.
Can a mechanical engineer graduate work as an industrial designer without a design degree?
Yes, I think it's possible, but very difficult. I think you'd have a better shot as a design engineer.... Which is basically a hybrid of both. It's also a pretty lucrative field

I've viewed your Behance page... De ce naiba ai vrea sa înveți română? Este cel mai aleatoriu lucru pe care l-am vazut pe ziua de azi. Oricum, superbe proiecte, felicitări.
