Concept design is often a first step in the development of any new product or service. It involves the creation of actual experiences, interactions, and systems through the careful coordination of images and ideas. This innovative step is not simply a walk-through for a product or a process; rather it is the culmination of research, planning, development, and testing that leads to the launch of a new idea or new product. Conceptual design also serves as the foundation for many of the user experience (UI) components that form the basis of user experience design (UE) and digital learning.
Concept design generally utilizes several different types of technological approaches. At the initial stage of the concept design process, an artist or a creative designer will brainstorm several possible solutions to a problem. After the user experience is documented in written form, the designer will then develop a more detailed design that goes through all of the requirements of the original concept. The more specific is the detailed design, the more likely it is that the concept will be accepted into the product development process. However, too many details at the very beginning might not actually help the whole process, in fact, as a rule for many agencies, the more details a concept contains, the more likely it is that the product development process will be delayed or even dropped altogether.
The key benefit of the detailed design concept is that it allows designers to consider every angle of the problem at hand. In addition, the designer will be able to describe, in greater detail, how each individual aspect of the product development process will affect the completion of the overall concept. In other words, if one aspect is too complex, then the overall product can be made simpler by adding another feature. Conversely, if too simple is the desired end result, then adding features will cause the cost or complexity of the final product to grow. Detailed concept design serves as a crucial element in the product development process.
As an example, we can think of how concept designs also serve to reduce risks and make the job of industrial designers easier. This is because they have a solid understanding of where the user needs to go before actually reaching there. For example, if a car needs to travel up a hill, an architect may decide on the best way to approach this problem. An industrial designer would first research the topography of the area, figure out how long the road will stay open, and then draw up a road map for the product development team. Once the concept map is approved by the business owner, it can go back to the engineers who will start to implement the designs in the real world.
Industrial designers have an even more innovative edge than architects once did. In fact, the innovative architectural design concepts that they create are often the first step toward creating something revolutionary. New advances in computer software and printing technologies make it possible for even the most innovative architectural designs to be realized.
Concept design is a critical part of industrial designers’ development process. Without the benefit of such training, they are at a definite disadvantage when trying to implement their design concepts into reality. A good idea must be well-researched and understood by the people who will use it, or else it will simply be a theory. Only then can the idea be put into practice. A well-designed concept will allow you to realize your product development goals and help reduce risk.
