Product Design Instruction and Identification

Product indication and identification design is a design method that accurately and reasonably describes the function and characteristics of a product. In order to accurately interpret the instruction and identification of the image, the establishment of the product's own form, the selection of the use mode and operation method, and the design of the product's operation interface are all important aspects and means of this purpose. The establishment of the product's own form is a problem to be faced in the initial stage of product design. The establishment of this form includes the style of design, color scheme, material selection, surface texture effect, and the dominant style or genre of the design. As an integral part of the directive, the role of the establishment of the modality is predominant. It can determine the design object and level of use of a product. Vivid colors, simple and young body shapes, cute cartoon characters, and easy-to-use operation methods. This physical indication indicates that it is designed for children. In the case of many functions and features, the shape is different, indicating different The purpose of use, the use of groups, and the use of the environment. This kind of instruction is intangible. It is the customary and specific psychological instructions generated by the user in the process of purchasing the product, using the product, and feeling after use.

This kind of psychological instruction is essentially an extension and embodiment of the second function of product design—spiritual function (emotional function). At this point, we can clearly see that the modeling language that determines and influences the product is not only the product's own features and characteristics, but more importantly is the psychological feelings and emotional pursuits of the use layer outside the product function. This kind of design and indication has been widely adopted in household products with relatively simple functions and unclear features. For designers, it is necessary to accurately grasp the general psychology of the product use layer, and apply it to specific designs, so that the product has an indication of the characteristics of the product targeted. This indication is reflected in the language of the product itself and is therefore highly visible. A well-promoted good product shape design must reflect its functional uses and characteristics. In the most obvious words, a product is designed, at least in its form, to let people know its purpose.

In the street, we can often see the same motorcycle model, some made of lighters, some made of radios, which may be an attempt from the perspective of the pursuit of interest, but as a kind of can have its own instructions We can't say that it works well because at least we can't say it works, because when we saw it at first glance, we really didn't know if it was used to light cigarettes or to listen to music programs. Let users know at a glance the product's function, use and characteristics, which is the basic purpose and design direction of the product's exterior modeling instructions, and the prerequisite requirements and conditions attached to product design such as style, genre, and doctrine. The use of products and the design of their operation methods can make the products more innovative and improved in the old ways of use, which leads to the attention and interest of users. As an indication, it requires that the ergonomics requirements and the users' psychology be fully grasped in the product design process. As a new use and operation method, it should be more reasonable when using and operating the product, and it is not a grand show. It should meet the user's habits and psychology. For the old backward lifestyle, irrational use of the mentality for a correct guidance and instructions.

The introduction of any new product or use of operating methods will only serve to guide the use of the group's lifestyle and universal psychology. As product designers, we should not exaggerate our social mission. Therefore, there is no product that can fundamentally change the psychology and living habits of the users of the group. The peculiar operation psychology has already entrenched in the user's mind as long as the ergonomics is reasonable, unless the product is obligatory. As a means of promotion, but as long as there is a reasonable product design, consumers will no longer have the slightest interest in such a forced change. The indication and identification design of the product use and operation interface are the most direct and realistic issues in the specific use process. With the rapid development of science and technology, the functions of the products themselves have become more and more abundant, which has caused inconvenience to users' operations.

Many buttons, various functions and instructions, people do not know where to start. For designers, first of all in the design process of the product interface should strive for simplicity and clarity, we must resolutely abandon the cumbersome and tasteless decoration (we do not oppose the decoration, on the contrary, the decoration to a certain extent, more skillfully to solve the operation Interface processing and segmentation. At the same time, the designer categorizes the complicated operation keys and indication partitions or points, which can be distinguished by different shapes, colors, materials, and indicator lines. On the other hand, while trying to simplify the operation interface, vividly and vividly embody the function and operation of each part. This requires that each designer should have the ability to design and organize three-dimensional shapes, and grasp the most compact and vivid three-dimensional shapes that each specific function can use. Mesh-like or strip-shaped empty slots, mostly used for heat dissipation, ventilation or sound; for the position of the hand can use non-slip small spherical caps, or non-slip projections, as well as to increase the roughness of the surface of the material to indicate; and red, green, Yellow, blue keys represent different functional indications.

All of these do not need to use text annotations to vividly reflect the role and function of the operation. This kind of internationally-available stereoscopic pointing interface is increasingly used by many products and is becoming the dominant product interface design of today's products. trend. Perhaps the dream of the global village will be difficult to achieve due to the limitations of geographical, ethnic, cultural and other objective factors, but it will not hinder the formation of an international universalization of the product operation interface. With the use of high-tech as a means, the universalization of product interface indications with the background of diminished internationalized cultural exchange and communication distance has been quietly formed. The design of the product's instruction and identification system should be fully functional (physical function, mental function). The kind of tedious decoration and painting can only beautify and modify the product, and sometimes it will even produce unnecessary visual misleads. It should clearly distinguish the boundaries of decoration and instruction, and be successful in the design and identification of products. Reasonably carry out the necessary decorations. The indication and identification of a product is a representation of the product's own function, emotion, and value from the aspect of product form; it is the embodiment and explanation of its material and spiritual function service from the perspective of the operation mode and means; the instruction design of the operation interface is a function. Further improvements and additions. These three directions and recognition are subject to the limitations and impacts of the product's own material and spiritual functions, user groups, and the environment. However, at the same time, such restrictions and impacts are the starting points and goals for us to identify the design. one.

Ultimately what we need to say is that in all design activities, there is an indication that stems from each successful product design, based on each successful innovation process. This deeper level of instruction is for the entire Use the mental outlook of the group, the correct guidance of lifestyle and the concept of survival. This instruction has flourished in every successful design activity and requires every designer in a very abstract, abstract language. In this request and guidance, our design activities will More perfect, concrete and progressive.
