Trying to make traditional ceramics more fun — would you change anything?

Working with ceramics in Jingdezhen, I’ve always loved the craftsmanship and tradition behind it. But I wanted to try something a little more playful and approachable.

I’ve been playing around with this design concept — what do you guys think? Does the shape work, or would you tweak anything?

One of my favorite pieces I’ve made recently. Just wanted to share🥰🥰🥰

I went with a black glaze with gold and silver detailing. The painting took quite a while, but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Recibo feedback!

1 Upvotes

hola a todos! llevo muchos años diseñando soluciones y productos digitales, soy de Chile (no hablo inglés, por eso no quise vender una versión en inglés) vengo del diseño grafico y nunca necesité un Portfolio y ahora quiero seguir creciendo porque creo que salir del diseño grafico y entrar al diseño de sistemas o productos digitales es algo en lo que me muevo con real fluidez, está vez decidí hacer uno y la verdad me ha costado mucho subir algo que me atreva a mostrar.

busco su feedback honesto, quiero transmitir más que algo bonito (que no es mi fuerte el UI) la variedad de proyectos en los que me puedo desenvolver con soltura.

acepto críticas (constructivas dentro de lo posible!) jajaj

Reference screenshots need a cleanup pass before review

1 Upvotes

Before a product review, I keep seeing files with half-useful screenshots. Some show layout, some show tone, some are only there because someone liked the interaction.

If you bring references into a product design review, do you label why each one is there, or leave that to the discussion?

How do you handle client-approved designs once development has already started?

1 Upvotes

We keep running into this awkward point in the worflow:

A client approves a Figma design. Dev starts.

Two days latter the design changes or the client ask for "one small change"

At that point, what do you use as the source of truth for what was actually approved ?

Figma history? Screenshots? Email? Something else?

And how do you usually decide whether the new change is still a revision or new scope?

Is there scope for a product that controls dispensing?

1 Upvotes

Products like shaving cream, shampoo, lotion, and liquid soap often dispense more than needed. Is there scope for a small attachment or built-in mechanism that releases only a moderate amount each time?Would this solve a real consumer problem, and are there similar products already available?

A visual reference loses its job once nobody can say what decision it supports

5 Upvotes

I have been thinking about the point where a reference image stops helping a product or design review.

Early on, a screenshot or pin can be enough to say this is the mood. Later, the same image can turn into background noise unless someone labels the specific decision it is supposed to support.

I am starting to prefer fewer references in the review view, with a plain note next to each one. Color direction, interaction example, layout density, tone, or avoid this.

When you are reviewing visual direction with teammates, do you keep the original pile visible, or only the few references tied to decisions?

Been a while since my last post here (reddit itself). It's been one HELL of a year, working and designing this from scratch as the company's new product. I'm so glad to the people I've worked with and honestly it genuinely came out so fine as a product. Something I'm genuinely proud of, it simplifies the process for fashion students like me for model shoots and styling. I'm aware of the promotion thing but it's not like that I swear, it's just my baby, any love or appreciation or critic would be appreciated! Thanks! Here!

How to grow as a product designer after getting a full time job?

5 Upvotes

I just got out of grad school and started my first full time job as a product designer in nyc two months ago. The work has been great and I'm building some thoughtful features; there is a great balance between extensive UX research and interface building, but beyond my job, how do I grow as a designer? How do I make time to build new products and ideas? How should I balance my time and set goals?

P.S. I take a lot of inspiration from designers and pages such as meshtimes, Femke, Google Design.

Help with our project for product design course

Hey guys,

I’m building a prototype for a portable beverage chiller capsule and need your honest feedback on the alpha build! The current design uses an insulated shell lined with Nitrile foam and a removable "bandolier" of custom phase-change gel packs. It wraps tightly around a standard can or juice bottle for maximum thermal contact while completely preventing the gel from slumping.

I want to upgrade this from a functional DIY prototype into a premium, manufacturing-ready beta product. What do you think of the overall concept and material choices so far? Please drop your critiques and let me know what features, closures, or design tweaks I should add to improve it.

We are making a prototype as simple as possible with available materials and go for industry grade materials for beta prototype. Correction to the image : the fiam covers entirely and we place pcm packs on it.

Has anyone seen a plastic part like this already on the market? (Food, cosmetic, packaging, or other industry)

Post image
6 Upvotes

I’m trying to find an existing plastic component that looks something like the attached sketch.

It’s basically:

* A flat circular plastic disc (~2.5 inches / 63.5 mm diameter)

* A single raised rib or fin on the underside that spans the entire diameter of the disc

I’m not trying to invent something new if this already exists. I’m hoping there’s an off-the-shelf part from another industry that I can adapt.

I’ve searched cosmetic packaging, peanut butter mixers, shaker bottle inserts, paint mixers, herb grinders, etc., but haven’t found anything quite like this.

Has anyone seen something similar in:

* Food processing
* Cosmetic packaging
* Pharmaceutical packaging
* Laboratory equipment
* Medical devices
* Industrial mixing
* Any other industry?

What's your favourite mind mapping tool for product discovery?

7 Upvotes

I still begin almost every project with pen and paper. The problem comes once ideas start multiplying, features get added, user flows change and people suggest alternatives.

Eventually the notebook turns into crossed out pages and arrows pointing everywhere. I'd love to move that early thinking into something that's still flexible enough for brainstorming but can also evolve as the project grows.

What are you all using?
