A few more titles, Morna: "Mechanization Takes Command - a Contribution to Anonymous History" - Siegfried Gideon, explores how all kinds of everyday objects evolved And at the engineering design end of the spectrum you described, three titles by Gordon Glegg: "The Design of Design", "The Selection of Design" and "The Science of Design". Keep up the good work.
Very nice video, and now I know what to give to my friend as a present, "The good Life" hopefully I can borrow it from her, and read it, too :D Thanks, keep it up!
I found this channel because I was searching for a review of the midori pulpcase, and I wondered for the analized you did. I enjoyed the videos you made, even I'm not a industrial designer (Architecture's student). Thanks for the content (: Regards from Mexico!
Hola Morna, saludos desde Colombia, tu seleccion de libros estuvo muy chevre, en especial cuando hablaste de papanek, y el de el proceso de fabricacion, todo ese proceso es muy rico. me gustaria que complementaras con Ezio manzini.
Hi Juan, I put your comment in google translate.. the only word I don't understand is "chevre". I'm not familiar with Ezio Manzini's work. I'll check it out!
Hi Morna, great recommendations! Recently I read this book named: Designing Design by Kenya Hara. It is a great book to understand what design means in oriental cultural context from humane and philosophical perspectives.
Hi Zeyu! I'm a bit embarrassed to admit... I have that book but have not read it yet. :) It sounds really interesting... Thanks for the recommendation and reminding me of it!
Hi Zeyu, I wanted to thank you again for reminding me of Kenya Hara's book. Designing Design inspired me to make a video about Muji's brand philosophy and how it shows up in the Aroma diffuser.
The video is super helpful! These books are going on my reading list. My favorite design book is the design of everyday things. I kinda have a request, can you make a video about the process a person should take to teach himself industrial design?!
Thanks, Muhammed! :) Regarding your request, sure I can work on a video like that. However, it would be helpful for me to know your intention or "why" you want to learn industrial design. Do you want to be an industrial designer and try to get work as an industrial designer? Are you trying to design a product and bring it to market? or do you want to learn more about industrial design in order to complement your existing profession?
I have no intention in trying to get a job as an industrial designer. I'm more on the side of learning how to bring a product on the market. Also I'm really interested in combining what I'm learning about craftsmanship with the modern methods industrial design brought to the world. I've started with sketching but a roadmap or a guide from somebody who is in the field like you would be a huge help!
I have a few videos in the pipeline but I am working on some kind of roadmap for bringing a product to market. I'll let you know once it's uploaded. Cheers, Morna
Just discovered your channel. Great content. Two years on, are there any titles you'd add to this list? Particularly foundational books as I'm in a different field (but thinking ahead...)
Hi Jason, as a foundational book, buy and read Thinking Objects: Contemporary approaches to product design. It covers a lot of ground and will give you a good base. Good luck!
what is the different between product design and industrial design ? and i am an architect but i love product design and i want to start to work on it .. any advices :) ? thanks
Hi Atef! I use the words Product design and Industrial design interchangeably because I am an Industrial designer who designs products. The word "industrial" refers to designing for industry, which is another way of saying "designing for manufacturing" as opposed to for craft. This word "industrial" trips people up and usually they think we design industrial products. This is why it's easier to refer to our profession as "product design". Jimmy Huynh has a thoughtful video response to this question - go check it out. One thing I would add, is "product design" can refer to digital products as opposed to physical products. So be aware of the context that you see the word "product design" in. If you want to learn how to design products: 1. Start to design and make things. Preferably design something that you can make and use yourself. After you have used it for awhile, re-evaluate and take another shot at the design. By doing this, you will immediately be faced with questions about size & how it relates to a human body, where does this product live (does it stay in one spot or move around), what material is appropriate, what form should it be, how does someone use it, etc 2. Product analysis : Take existing products apart both literally and figuratively. This works especially well when it relates to your design project above. Because then you are learning from the designers who have worked before you. Ask the question "why" about everything that you see. There is a reason for every detail on every product (inside and out). This practice is actually how professional designers continue to learn about product design and is no different than learning about architecture, by experiencing and analyzing it.... which is one of my favorite things to do. :) If you are curious about how I do this process, I have a free workbook (on my channel page) and 2 videos that show the process (Pulp Storage and Food grater)
@@DesignplusMorna thanks for your clarification about the difference between industrial design and product design :) i understand that product design more general and it includes industrial design . regardless the process it is great to learn by doing it will be great if you have examples regard that . do i need to have a special knowledge in mechanical and electrical engineering to be a product design ? and how much i need to know regarding that ? i know that some architects like george nelson and Emeas become a product designers and that gives me hope :) thanks for the book review i bought most of them to learn and sorry for late reply but i really appreciate you answers and looking forward for more vedios from you :) and i wonder if can i have your email to send you my progress thanks Atef
@@atefmohsen Hey! This is becoming more confusing by the minute :) I think Industrial and Product design used to mean a similar thing: The design of products. It used to be that products were seen as physical objects that you can sell. But now in the information age we can also see digital products, like apps and services, as products. People that are designing these usually call themselves product designers. Industrial design now mainly focusses on the mass produced products.
Do you have any industrial design book recommendations? Do you have a favorite?... Let us know!
Design of everyday things by Don Norman
Todos los libros de Ezio Manzini.
All Ezio Manzini books
El sistema de los objetos. JEAN BAUDRILLARD
I wanted to study design, but could not afford the cost. Thanks to the people like you.
You are welcome!
Dieter Rams: The Complete Works, Streamliner: Raymond Loewy and Image-making in the Age of American Industrial Design, Industrial Design A-z
The Design of Everyday Things: ( used to be called POET, psychology of everyday things)
Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman is another good one
Thanks for the recommendations Morna. But few of them are very costly on Amazon and there is no kindle version at all.
You are welcome! Check out abebooks.com for used versions of the books.
Thanks for the recommendations. Being a budding industrial designer I really appreciate the work you are doing.
Hi Rushank, You are welcome! all the best, Morna
A few more titles, Morna:
"Mechanization Takes Command - a Contribution to Anonymous History" - Siegfried Gideon, explores how all kinds of everyday objects evolved
And at the engineering design end of the spectrum you described, three titles by Gordon Glegg:
"The Design of Design", "The Selection of Design" and "The Science of Design".
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for adding those!

Hi, Happy to hear you enjoyed the videos!
all the best, Morna
Thats a well worn Victor Papanek ;) How about Edward de Bono and Henry Dreyfuss ?

"Chevere" means good, cool, very good ...

It would be amazing, please let me know 😍
Is there pdf available for these books

Hi Jason, as a foundational book, buy and read Thinking Objects: Contemporary approaches to product design. It covers a lot of ground and will give you a good base. Good luck!
Thank you for the recommendations. Have you ever read deconstructing product design?
Hi Terrance, no I haven't heard of the book. I just looked it up. It looks like an interesting premise. Did you enjoy it?
You should put a list of the books in the description. Also I would like to know what steps you would take to become an industrial designer now.
Hi! The list of books is actually in the description... you just need to open the description box. :)
Thanks for the content!
You are welcome, Kaelen!
wow these books are so beautiful. thanks!!
You are welcome!
