Traditional craft design facing the future

In the past, handicrafts and industrial products pursued perfection in workmanship and product quality but did not incorporate a lot of high technology,Traditional manual techniques can no longer meet people’s needs. Now, due to the production of high technology such as artificial intelligence and the progress of design concepts, the current handicrafts should be injected with high technology. The value of the product and its use must be based on the customer’s experience-a human-oriented design. For example, the vision of the future car:

Roman believes that In the future, the car will not only have excellent workmanship, but also new technologies. Some human-machine interactions will make the car more humane.

Interdisciplinary skill for designer

Computer dating has evolved to the point where graphics and communication design never exist. In response to the crisis faced by the design industry, some design schools have begun to implement interdisciplinary education methods to train designers .

The phenomenon of the School of Design arranging the content of interdisciplinary courses for students majoring in interaction design shows that the development trend of the interactive professional field is towards cross-field development and interaction design needs to integrate knowledge in other fields except design to adapt to the development trend of modern technology.

Future designers should learn:

1 Skills and Practice: Dare to leave the traditional comfort zone of work and get in touch with interdisciplinary knowledge, ergonomics, psychology, and computer science. Let the works not only have the exquisite appearance.

2 but also meet the needs of the future society.
Way of thinking: Designers must have depth in their thinking, dare to experiment, consider themselves as a manager, and think about problems with a people-oriented core.
