Product Designing

1.1 Introduction

Techfest 2010 and Industrial Design Center(IDC) presents Product Design.
Design is an expression of the purpose, and it may (if it is good enough) later be judged as art; design depends largely on constraints and it is a method of action (there are always constraints and these usually include ethic). Designers are the true intellectuals of the future. To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master. So come home to the scintillating world of our own real-life and design your own products in the contrast of the core of limitations.
