PDT-ComDP-08 - From Start to Shelf: Bringing Design Ideas to Market

Course Description

Implementing a product design can be a grueling process that involves planning, prototyping, user-testing, and production. In From Start to Shelf, we'll map design ideas from concept to the finished product.

Workshop content will include participants learning agile development; prototyping; storyboarding; how to research and talk with vendors about materials and processes; how to get quotes; take notes; organize files; schedule production; and deliver the goods.

Hands-on exercises include production planning and management for a website, a printed piece, and a packaged product.

Workshop goals and outcomes include: managing and mapping a design idea from concept to finished product; prototyping, user testing and design itera­tion (measure twice, cut once); and overseeing production processes, implementation, scheduling, and delivery of virtual and physical products.
