Abstract
Underlying theories behind visualisation are well reported in literature; likewise, are visualisation strategies from the perspective of in-house design operations. This research addresses a gap in literature on the topic of visualisation with respect to collaborative design projects with manufacturers that have little or no industrial design capability. The research investigates designers' practices and characteristics of visualisations from 15 new product development projects, followed by a series of reflections by designers involved. Findings illustrate how designers combine different styles of visualisation to balance details, accuracy, aesthetics and fidelity in response to the type of project and collaborator's capability. We conclude with examples of best practice for designers when using visualisation to engage manufacturers who have little experience with industrial design.
期刊介绍：
Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy.
Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
