Product design concerns the complete activity of designing artefacts such as motor cars, photocopiers and personal stereos. Its range covers household goods and items to specialised equipment for science, industry and commerce. Packaging design is a related discipline where you could be designing packs and containers for different products including food and drink.

Do you like challenges?
Is it art based or science based?
The importance of good product design is widely recognised and there is a growing need for multi-skilled designers. You can study engineering based product design courses which place more emphasis on the technological aspects of design or you can choose an art based product design course. At some universities you can start a general product design degree before choosing between the two.
