Industrial or product design combines a technical/mechanical ability with skills in three-dimensional art and problem-solving, to create objects that answer customer and client needs. As a recent cover story in Time Magazine demonstrated, the designer can touch all aspects of our daily lives. Cars, household appliances, medical equipment, computers — nearly any three-dimensional object — can benefit from and be improved with designer input. As with graphic design, work in this field can be varied; solo and freelance-based, or part of a larger design firm.
