First, well-known local design companies.
Generally speaking, industrial design is a superstructure built on a certain economic basis, so the probability of excellent industrial design companies appearing in domestic first-tier cities, first-tier cities or provincial capitals is greater than other cities. In fact, quite a number of "well-known" industrial design companies are located in established first-tier cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen, as well as some emerging cities such as Hangzhou, Ningbo and Qingdao.
From the perspective of industrial chain, such companies are very suitable for new designers who want to take design skills as their own factors, and they are a very good place for their future personal development. Although the salary and holiday in the early stage will not be ideal, I will have the opportunity to deal with more people with design needs inside and outside the industry and learn more about Party A's way of thinking. Facing the three mountains of industrial design, users, market and cost control, the skills learned by large companies in first-tier cities should not be underestimated.
Second, foreign design companies.
With the development of economy and the evolution of world industrial forms, foreign established design companies such as Frog, teams, kkdesign and IDEO are also good places for newcomers to find jobs. They have strong personalities and are very picky about customers, and generally follow certain design ideas and styles. These companies are usually not so easy to enter, and they are not very friendly to new designers with extremely unique personalities after entering.
But their strength does allow them to be so proud, because a considerable part of the knowledge related to design research and design methods is related to some public ideas of these companies. For example, the design method of IDEO is often said in school teaching that working in these companies can feel the familiar environment and the pressure will not be too great. But exercise my observation of details, communication with different objects, and * * * ability. This kind of company is more suitable for graduate students who study abroad and have considerable advantages in design thinking.
Third, emerging local design companies.
The founders of these companies basically have the background of studying abroad. They can not only understand the domestic design requirements, but also fully understand the new thinking abroad and combine it with the local status quo. After all, people from different regions and cultural backgrounds will pay different attention to products. Even though a considerable number of industrial design concepts come from Europe and America, there are still some local products that are different from western products (sometimes they become explosions), which can reflect the advantages of such companies.
This kind of company is also friendly to designers who come back from studying in foreign universities, and the product design process will get started faster. Moreover, because of the frequent need for docking production, it will also come into contact with all the steps of many traditional industrial design companies, and it is also a very good place for novice designers trying to make up for the lack of education in the past.
