工业设计师之设计导向类型

Industrial designers’ attitudes toward product design

以从事工业设计之工作内容人员做为研究对象,分别探究其不同设计导向在从事设计工作及项目任务时所着重考虑的因素,归纳出设计者于产品设计的价值态度类型。研究初期以文献归纳出6个设计导向属性:情感美学、造形型态手法、行为表达态度、生产机能条件、客观条件、个人技能作为设计态度的衡量及评估依据。研究方法采用Q方法,收集设计背景族群对于设计过程的看法与认知,并请专家筛选适当的陈述问题及前测问卷后,归纳整理成6属性共50题陈述句来进行问卷调查,并以Q因素分析来探讨设计背景族群对于设计态度的看法以分析其设计导向。研究结果将工业设计背景族群分为多方考虑均衡设计;年轻且机能实务并重;团队整体利益优先;重情感造形及个人观点;着重现实层面考虑;经验丰富重造形美学表现等共六类型族群。工业设计部门的主管依据每一种设计导向类型的特性,归类其属下设计师,并结合设计项目属性与复杂程度,指派适合的设计师或组成最佳设计团队圆满达成设计任务。

The aim of this research is to find out the attitudes of designers regarding product design.Subjects practicing product design are the main targets of this study.Factors designers of different attitudes towards product design emphasize in project design are explored,from which types of industrial designers are speicfied in terms of their value point of view in product design.From related literautre,six design-oriented attributes were identified for the measurement of designer’s attitudes towards product design,including affective aesthetics,form manipulations,behaviorial attitudes,production and functional requirements,objective conditions,and personal skills.In this study,Q-methodology was adopted to collect the information about how the industrial designers feel in processing their product design.Then,experts were invited to compile appropriate questions for the questionnaire.This questionnaire was divided into six types of design dimensions and contained 50 declarative sentences.The results of investigation were analyzed with Q factor analysis to study the interviewers’ design attitudes.Six types of industrial designers in terms of their attitudes toward product design were identified.It is suggested that manager of the design department allocate suitable designers for the design team according to the features of design attitudes and the property and complexity of design projects.
