Product designing demands certain essential steps to be followed and careful exe cutions of innovative ideas. A product is not merely a brand but a way for desig ners to reach out to people and gather information about the type of design pref erred by them. There are several stages involved in product designing and in order to conclude with a successful product design, it is recommended that these steps are followe d by the product designers. - The first and foremost step that product designers must take when embarking to wards product designing is to identify the product and what type of design will be accepted by its users to boost its sales. Product designing attempts to ensur e that a particular product remains etched in the consumer s memory thanks to its de sign. So identifying the product or the problem in case of a product design not living up to its expectations is the first of the long list of steps ought to be taken by product designers. - It is important to identify what a product designer is aiming towards. The nec essity of the product which is to be designed must be thought about properly by the designers so that they are able to focus more and come up with authentic des igns, appealing to the users of the product. Everything ranging from the target users to their demands must be kept in mind when designing the product because t he aim of the design is to connect with the users. And there is no better way to do that other than researching beforehand and then starting work on the designi ng process. - Research is an integral part of product design and problems are bound to surfa ce while researching about a product s background. The variety of users, problems wi th previous designs and their failures, competition from similar products and th eir designs are few of the problems that product designers are bound to encounte r. Solving these problems is mandatory if one wishes to come up with an appealin g and successful design. The best way to approach problems of product designing is to have an open mind and a bunch of clear ideas. It is an accepted fact that a clear mind hosts ideas more authentic and they can be depended upon when solvi ng product design related problems. - Once thorough research is done and an idea has started its growth in the desig ner s mind, analyzing it becomes important because the design must represent every f eature of the product and hence should be intricate. All the pros and cons must be taken into account before the design work is started because every aspect of the product must be reflected in the design and any aspect missing will result i n the product s failure to connect with a certain section of its audience. That is s omething the product designer will surely not want to be responsible for. Hence analysis of all the aspects of the product and then commencing design work is th e foolproof way of starting designing work for a product. - Creating a model design for testing purposes is recommended, especially for am ateur designers who are new in the field of product designing. A model is usuall y created for testing purposes so that people can give their views, opinions on it are based on them, corrections or changes are made before finalizing on the d esign. Creation of a model is a helpful step during the last stages of the desig n as product designers are able to gather information about the changes that are required and incorporate them accordingly. Launching a product with a flawed de

sign can be catastrophic and creation of a model design is done solely to avoid any such disaster. Once the model design has been accepted by the target audienc e, it can be safely launched on a larger scale. - The final design for a product should be the ultimate design in which designer s have put in all their hard work and effort. The flaws and imperfections of the model design must be corrected to make the final design near perfect and capabl e of creating immediate impact when launched alongside the product itself. The f inal design should be grand and worth all the wait, hard work and effort that ha s been put towards its development. These are a few necessary points that product designers must always keep in thei r minds when attempting to work towards successful designing of a product. Produ ct designing is not an easy task to do. But if the right steps are followed in t he development of a product s design, it is sure to create the necessary impact and emerge as a success as intended to be by the designer.
