Design and Designing - For iPod/iPhone http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/itunes.open.ac.uk.1543326380.01543326392 Open University Design and Designing - For iPod/iPhone This course provides an introduction to today's international design world. The intention is to explain the processes that generate products and to develop an understanding of what it is like to be a designer in fields such as product, engineering, architectural and communication design. The course covers how companies take design decisions; manage market research; sustain creativity; and convert ideas into tangible and successful products. The influence of new materials and manufacturing techniques are reviewed, as are issues of sustainability; and, through a series of case studies, the significance of landmark products of the past is examined. Basic design skills such as drawing, modelling and creative thinking are described throughout the course. This material is taken from the Open University course T211 Design and designing.
