How Do You Learn Design Practical Skills?

PES Training Program - Practical Design TrainingDesigners study, research and develop ideas for products and the systems used to make them. But is this statement true in all cases?

Sure, drafting and design may involve a lot of theory. But we don't always get to see it in practice.

Let's dive into the details on how you can learn designing practical skills and expand your skill-sets.

The Design Learning Plateau 

Designers are not only concerned with making products that look good and are easy and safe to use: they are also involved with ensuring that the products can be made cost-effectively and efficiently.

Typical tasks designers may accomplish include:

  • Thinking of possible design solutions and strategy
  • Researching whether the design will work and be cost-effective
  • Assessing the usability, environmental impact and safety of a design
  • Using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-assisted engineering (CAE) software to create prototypes
  • Collecting and analyzing data from tests on prototypes
  • Modifying designs and retesting them

Does this sound familiar? Great! So what's next?

Do designers need soft skills?

With experience, your career can lead to senior design positions in larger organizations. Designers can also move into management roles such as project management and new business development.

Sure, designers excel at creating innovating products, but developing soft skills to enhance careers isn't always a top priority. Let's face it, as a designer moving up the totem pole means you have the technical techniques.

But what about your soft-skills? Without those skills, you are just another number in a large pool of designers.

Don’t be just another designer. 

Have you reached the designer learning plateau?

Where exactly does one (as a designer) get to learn more "hands-on", practical skills?
