In our lives product design is everywhere. For example, a spoon, what is the material, spoon and the proportion of the long handle, how the curvature of the food more easily; a set of mobile drawers, how to reasonably shelve the documents, files, stationery and hidden tangled wires; a piece of jewelry, from the expression of jewelry, to the carving, wax, processing, inlays, goldwork production, are all product design needs to consider the problem.
