Description
Summary:The aim of this paper is to provide education practitioners with a template to facilitate the introduction of brand construction to first year undergraduate industrial design students through the visual and physical embodiment of a product. The ongoing pedagogic development has been refined over the last fifteen years alongside research into the professional practice of Industrial Design (ID). The objectives of this paper are to: provide signposting to the underpinning theories of the template; describe the template; show an example of student work that demonstrate the outcomes of template application; and, highlight where students have used the template within a brand related design competition to produce a successful design outcome.
