What are good product ideas?

Since anyone can come up with ideas, what makes a Product Designer a professional?

  • I believe I have some good ideas, but anyone on the street may be able to generate ideas as good as mine. Deciding to pursue Product Design as a specialization is a tough choice, as it is an unconventional route. Most people in Singapore (the country where I live in) takes up Business. As such, I'm in the self-searching process to determine if I have a flair and passion for it before I embark on this degree. How do I know if I have this flair and how are Product Designers being differentiated from the common man?

  • Answer:

    Product designers are not just about ideas. you need to develop the idea, pick materials, find a manufacturer and production method. There is a lot of knowhow needed to get an idea to become a product. The difference (as in any profession) is suitable education.
