Some industrial designs are viewed as Classic pieces that can be regarded as much as Works Of Art as works of Engineering . The " Design Classic " article lists some of the designs that are regarded as having reached this classic status. Industrial design has a focus on concepts, products and processes. In addition to considering Aesthetics , Usability , and Ergonomics , it can also encompass the engineering of objects, usefulness as well as usability, market placement, and other concerns. Product Design and industrial design can overlap into the fields of User Interface Design , Information Design and Interaction Design . Various schools of Industrial Design and/or Product Design may specialize in one of these aspects, ranging from pure art colleges (product styling) to mixed programs of engineering and design, to related disciplines like exhibit design and interior design. Definition of design Acording to the ICSID (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design) "Design is a creative activity whose aim is to establish the multi-faceted qualities of objects, processes, services and their systems in whole life-cycles. Therefore, design is the central factor of innovative humanisation of technologies and the crucial factor of cultural and economic exchange" {Link without Title} . Industrial design in USA In the US, the field of industrial design hit a high-water mark of popularity in the late '30s and early '40s, with several industrial designers becoming minor celebrities. Raymond Loewy , Norman Bel Geddes , and Henry Dreyfuss remain the best known. Industrial Design in the UK In the UK, the term "industrial design" increasingly implies design with considerable engineering and technology awareness alongside human factors—a "Total Design" approach, promoted by the late Stuart Pugh ( University Of Strathclyde ) and others. Industrial design rights See Also: Industrial design rights Industrial design rights are Intellectual Property rights that protect the visual design of objects that are not purely utilitarian. An industrial design consists of the creation of a shape, configuration or composition of pattern or color, or combination of pattern and color in three dimensional form containing aesthetic value. An industrial design can be a two- or three-dimensional pattern used to produce a product, industrial commodity or handicraft. Under the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Deposit of Industrial Designs, a WIPO -administered treaty, a procedure for an international registration exists. An applicant can file for a single international deposit with WIPO or with the national office in a country party to the treaty. The design will then be protected in as many member countries of the treaty as desired. See also
