Art Job: Industrial Designer

Almost everything you use during your day was designed by an industrial designer. From your water bottle to your notebook, an industrial designer had to think of what it would look like and how it would work.

Think of an item you’d want to use. How can you make it better? What will you add, take away, or change? Draw, collage, or build your new design.
