Industrial Design in …
… my perspective is: Ryan Johnson 2011.
Place the design professions Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, Graphic Design, and Engineering, to name a few, on a circle, ID floats within this circle.
ID is best fit profession for EGs as EG’s are products. Industrial Design typically manifests a ‘product’ or a ‘construction’ but holistically is a way of thinking, and viewing design.
Pure Graphic Design, unlike EG’s, is dedicated to soft mediums like print and web, not build, nor the scale/humanscale issues. However, ID/EG’s, bridge into soft mediums such as UX/UI design. UX/UI, is very much like/parallels, wayfinding and signage system design.
