Summary: | 碩士 === 實踐大學 === 工業產品設計研究所 === 92 === It is intended, in this study, to apply what one is capable of learning from the operational techniques of conventional products into the present day product design innovation. Along with the changing of the formats and habits of consumption, consumers tend to more critical in determining ‘to buy or not to buy’! A mere satisfaction in functions can no longer satisfy the consumers’ needs; the experience one obtains while using a particular product becomes even more important in deciding one’s buying or not. Therefore, the functional satisfaction, spiritual demand, and the sensual feeling are all interwoven into the process of product design, and only through retrospection can one realize the ties once formed the fundamental aspect of design and be inspired to further develop any new concepts in the field of design that is yet to come.
Through “Literature reviews” and “Case Studies”, the writer tries to establish a hypothesized approach in offering an innovative approach in operation by ways of an in-depth discussion and contrastive analysis. A “Design Workshop” is adopted as the preliminary source of information gathering to narrow down interviewees’ opinions and viewpoints of how a new approach should be. It is the writer’s intention to create an ideal model that concentrates on the both the needs and feelings of the consumers in product design which includes a cognitive understanding of the rationale behind conventional product design wisdom and a multi-layered design process derived from this traditional wisdom. Ultimately, this study can offer designers nowadays an alternative in providing consumers’ more choices in selective and using any product.
