1) Sketching and freehand drawing ability have to be excellent... designers have to be fast and fluid, not slow and considered. No polished rendering now required, but basic quick sketch rendering still worthwhile. FAST and loose is the key.

Rendering skills are rapidly being surpassed by software: 10 years ag Final renderings with pastels and markers 5 years ag Final renderings with Photoshop and Illustrator Now: Final renderings with Photoshop and Alias or Pro/E + 3D Studio Max

2) Good model making ability in foam, plaster, resins, MDF board including at least an awareness of Rapid Prototyping technologies such as SLA, SLS, LOM, silicon rubber castings, investment casting, soft tooling options etc.

3) Have to know a Vector based package (such as Freehand or Illustrator 7) and a Raster based package (such as Photoshop or Photostyler)

4) 3D Modelling skills in 1 high end package such as Pro/E, Alias, Catia, I-DEAS or to a lesser extent 1 mid-range package like Solidworks 98, Form Z, Rhino 3D, 3D Studio Max etc

5) 2D CAD skills in Autocad, Microstation or Vellum as a fall back position.

6) Self starters with good presentation and interpersonal skills (able to think on their feet at a client meeting and make a case for the concept), report writing (researching and understanding a detailed brief, documenting the design decision process, QA documentation) any industry experience a bonus (work experience, prior employment, field trips to industrial sites such as car manufacturers, plastic injection moulding plants, toolmakers etc).

7) Excellent appreciation of form and the interaction of positive and negative space.

8) Portfolios should have clear progression of the idea from fluid sketch to detailed sketch to 3D model, GA‘s are not enough! At least one fully detailed and toleranced part drawing of an injection moulded product, good clear photos of a good model... no poorly scanned sketches!

9) A solid understanding of the product development process and how ID fits with marketing (concept of designing for particular price points and niche markets) another bonus. A good understanding of industrial techniques such as extrusions, laser cutting, fasteners, welding, sheet metal production, composites, blow moulding, injection moulding for electronic products (no Escher products or poorly thought out part lines!). Ability to understand and design basic membrane switches a bonus.

10) All consultancies operate on an hourly fee basis and their designers must document time spent on each project accurately. Time management skills are vital as are an indication of how long the 3D renderings, models and detailed drawings took to complete. Employers want to start making money with the graduate very soon!

千里迷途知返

蝙蝠的翅膀用来滑翔

天使的翅膀是摆设

 

我的翅膀可以飞,引你进入迷途,你说我美,我说你看不到我美,因为你是白天的天使,我是夜晚的蝙蝠,有一天你会因为被蝙蝠引诱了自觉羞耻,.你的心中的完美在你随我进入黑夜丛林那一刻,成为了一个残缺的心愿

 

山的另外一面,有一滩深深的映着紫色天空的水,用潭水洗澡,你会忘记自己的过错,回到充满爱的天堂,继续做不用飞的天使,而我继续在黑夜里飞行,把每一个残缺记在心里,

今天忽然想去北大看电影,正好有朋友陪,用5分钟时间把自己简单的弄了弄,出了门,有10分钟等人,用不知道多久的时间坐车到了北大,
结果就是,今天没有电影,于是,买了下周六的票,云水谣,同事刚好推荐,就去看看,
买了票没什么可做,L说,咱们去看看湖吧,我说好啊,这不是咱小时侯的梦想吗,哈哈,互相嘲笑了一番,其实高考时候L是分数够进北大的,可惜这小子胆子小,老想做有10分把握的事情,结果把分估低了,不敢报北大,去了天津大学,
那湖,上阴风萧萧,刹是冷清,还有湖边昏暗的灯光,幽幽的闪烁,还真是怪吓人的,湖中心的小亭子,里面立着一块大方块,看似2001太空漫游里面的大磁石,湖面的水靠近围墙的已经开始结冰,避风的地方依然有水波,我们就说估计那有温泉,不如跳下去,实验一下,没死就是温泉,
回来的路上我缩在羽绒服里面睡着了,L就让我靠着他睡,可是我靠着他睡意全无,于是还是盯着窗外想事情,他问我在想什么的时候,我刚好把想的事情全忘记了

坐在公交车上看许久未见的暖红的夕阳,

灰色的天空,机车的轰鸣为了只是陪衬

去北大看电影,

但我不知道今天是没有电影的

只好买了下周六的票,

云水谣,

豆豆说他很想看,是个爱情故事,

等待60年的爱情

我碰巧买到票,呵呵,要去气气他

 

 

昨天看到一个人的拨棵,名字叫安静栖息的人会得到爱,里面有我想找的一个电影的名字<人人爱自己,上帝反大家>,我进去认真的看了她写的东西,像个熟悉的朋友,她的朋友喜欢这个电影,可惜他死了,她说她没有情欲,但是很想拥抱他,她说她希望自己是个男人,这样可以和他们一样称兄道弟,但是这个人死了
