So You Want to Be a Designer? A How-To Guide to Product Design
This eight-part series explores the challenges facing product designers, covering a range of subjects including user design, mass manufacture, testing and modification, and the use of sustainable materials both for packaging and for products. (25 minutes each) © 2011 Preview Clip Online C
Designing for the User In this program, viewers learn how observation, research data, and a feedback development cycle are brought into play to ensure that products meet the needs of the people using them. The video profiles the repackaging of a Samsung cell phone targeted for older users and a children’s bicycle redesign. $99.95 QGR44499 • DVD / VOD
Sustainable Packaging A container should protect a product, attract customers, and be relatively cheap to produce. And it should satisfy consumer demand for goods that do not contribute to the billions of tons of waste produced every year. This program shows how designers are meeting all of these goals by reducing packaging, choosing more recycled materials, and sometimes completely rethinking a product’s design. Includes a tour of a recycling facility. $99.95 QGR44500 • DVD / VOD
Designing with Recycled Materials Using recycled materials makes sense, but also presents designers with a unique set of challenges. This program profiles two companies that have successfully created products from recycled goods. London-based Pli Design produced a stackable chair made from recycled Sony PlayStations, and issues of large-scale plastics recycling are addressed as an appliance manufacturer turns discarded refrigerators into parts for washing machines. $99.95 QGR44501 • DVD / VOD
Life Cycle Assessment With Volvo’s ReCharge hybrid car serving as an example, this program shows how Life Cycle Assessment is employed to evaluate the environ- mental impact of manufactured goods—from their raw materials to production, usage, and disposal. The video also takes a close look at the production phase of LCA with a tour of Volvo’s energy-efficient assembly plant; and at end-of-life recovery at a dismantling facility. $99.95 QGR44502 • DVD / VOD
Technical Education: Engineering Technology New!
Factors
Product Design and Mass Manufacture—Design Optimization In this program, designers employ market research and model-making technology to redesign a peak flow meter. Incorporating what they learned from focus groups, the designers redeveloped the device, then used rapid prototyping technology to transform CAD coordinates into a physical model. Viewers get a detailed look at CGI, CAD, and model-making technology. $99.95 QGR44503 • DVD / VOD
Choosing Sustainable Materials This program profiles CO2 Zero, an eco-friendly housing development in the U.K., focusing on its use of recycled plastics and FSC-certified wood. The video also documents modern timber production, with a representative from England’s historic Forest of Dean explaining how clear cutting can be part of sustainable management, when conducted properly. $99.95 QGR44504 • DVD / VOD
Designing for Innovation and Safety Decades ago, Volvo’s famous safety features were the least appealing part of their cars, at least from an aesthetic standpoint. Now designers work with engineers from the beginning of the development process to make sure that Volvo remains competitive on all fronts. In this program, Volvo representatives address the issue of combining safety features with good design while maintaining brand identity. $99.95 QGR44505 • DVD / VOD
Product Design, Testing, and Modification Trunki is a popular children’s ride-on suitcase— its brightly colored, rounded surfaces appeal to toddlers and parents alike. But when its designer appeared on a British TV show featuring the product, its towing strap broke, sending Trunki into another round of modification. This program explains how a product became a worldwide success by following the principles of good merchandise design. $99.95 QGR44506 • DVD / VOD

of Design
A designer has to see things from many perspectives—while maintaining a clear, unified vision of his or her finished product. This three-part series guides viewers through many of those concerns, using case studies, expert commentary, and exciting visuals and graphics. Viewable/printable educational resources are available online. (16–17 minutes each) © 2011 Preview Clip Online C ‡
Innovation How can a designer develop a fresh, original approach to a product? This program investigates one of the main factors that influence design: innovation. Visiting design studios and workshops to see innova- tive practices at work, the video introduces the team behind the EnterMo BlackBerry case as they create a distinctive case design for mobile devices. $129.95 QGR44661 • DVD / VOD
Time and Money Working on schedule and within a budget is crucial in the fast-paced world of design, where success often depends on timing and products must be priced affordably. This program shows how the factors of time and money affect the design process. Case studies for the Apple iPad wall mount and a go-kart sticker manufacturer highlight issues of productivity, efficiency, and time management. $129.95 QGR44662 • DVD / VOD
Visual, Tactile, and Aesthetic This program looks at the creation of two products as it explores visual, tactile, and aesthetic factors in design. The 321 Water filter is a personal water purifier aimed at health-conscious women. Tear Lab is a noninvasive medical tool for measuring salt levels in tears. Sharing prototypes and drawings with the camera, the designers of these products talk openly about their work. $129.95 QGR44663 • DVD / VOD
