The laser hair removal instrument made in 17 years has recently been found to be new in [Xiaomi Youpin]. I was immediately excited, but with it came deep reflection and "face beating". Looking at the "slots" in my past career, what I want to share is how important it is for designers to improve their knowledge systems.

The hand model comes from a colleague.

The first draft documents the original design feeling
The visual and tactile comfort brought by the lines is considered. The lamp cap handles the nature and fit of disassembly through texture. The delicate material feeling brings skin-friendly experience.
......
To express your feelings about "beauty", people feel cordial and comfortable.
The customer chose two options with satisfaction. However, the process of designing incubation requires various verifications.

ID design, review, structure, hardware, to product manager and marketing manager evaluation.
Every initial idea is going through the test
The feedback from the customer was that the shape of the lamp cap was "weird" and changed to a flat head.
Looking back at the beginning, limited by work experience, we chose to compromise where we could have done better.

A more appropriate solution is to meet the customer's opinions, make changes, and put forward better ideas, and achieve the desired results through concise and powerful communication.
Every revision should be a process of self-improvement.
It is necessary to have sufficient in-depth professional knowledge to ensure that the ID concept is finally fully presented.

But it is not enough for designers to draw pictures.
The design of the parting line increases the difficulty of the mold, and the heat dissipation holes are not "beautiful" enough "......
So the engineer changed a version of the mold with simple mold and "beautiful" pattern......
Find the reason from yourself
At its root, there are three key points that must be done:

First, the dimension of thinking and looking at problems and things should be more comprehensive.
Industrial design is ultimately to be "mass-produced. Therefore, the feasibility of mass production, cost considerations, and customer production capacity are all part of the design. Using limited resources to create maximum benefits is the value of designers (said by the director who took me as an intern in Garantu for 15 years)

Second, dissatisfaction can bring more interesting ideas and refuse false "exhaustion of thinking"
From the early collection of inspiration and creativity to hand-painting, modeling, coloring and modification, every link has to ask yourself: is it the best you can do?
Only when you do your best can you have the confidence and confidence to persuade others (from Dongxiang Guo Zong's "Broken Thoughts of a Designer for Nearly 20 Years")

The third is to insist on what should be insisted and compromise appropriately.
Designers should have confidence in their own works, either what others say or what others say, and do not explain or refuse irresponsible attitude.
The compromise here refers to making the most appropriate choice under various limitations. Avoid blindly insisting on what should not be insisted on, and avoid inlistening to opinions and increasing communication costs. Only in this way can we communicate more effectively and learn more in the process (from Dongxiang Guo Zong's "Broken Thoughts of a Designer for Nearly 20 Years")
