Abstract: This paper describes the design of modern industrial design in the meaning of human nature, analysis of human design in the modern industrial product design, the importance of the text in the main from meeting people's needs, the use of ergonomics, product design aesthetic based on the analysis of human design, the modern products of human design characteristics and significance.


Human nature is human-centered design and scale to meet the physical and psychological needs, material and spiritual needs. Create a comfortable, elegant living space, make space for people to enjoy the use of fun and pleasure. Human nature to be full release and satisfaction. psychological healthier, emotionally richer, more complete human nature, people achieve harmony to realize the purpose of human technology.

In fact, modern design has infiltrated every aspect of society and people's lives. Today, advocates of "humanity", as a modern design concept has been integrated into people's lives, whether it is daily life, or spiritual enjoyment, have put forward the "human" design requirements. In the design Industry with the booming economy of the world today, "humanity" of the design concepts already deep into all areas of design, whether it is construction, textile, clothing or machinery, in pursuit of the "human" performance, Even modern product design is no exception, the design of user-friendly design has become a basic starting point for evaluating the merits of the best design standards.


A user-friendly design to meet the needs of people for the purpose of

User-friendly design requirements designed to respect for human values ​​should be the first to meet the needs of people for the purpose.'s Needs are many, the basic material to meet after the spiritual needs of the high level of demand on a major, regardless of material or spiritual needs are based on the unity of the two products will be reflected in the form.

American psychologist Abraham Maslow's needs will be divided into five levels: physiological needs, security needs, emotional needs, esteem needs, self-actualization needs. Furthermore, the main product of human design to meet people from the two levels need, first, physiological and psychological need satisfaction, user-friendly design concept requires a "people-oriented" ideas under the guidance will be designed to focus on how to make the product more suitable for human use. modern machine engineering of the human body physiological and psychological research has a more complete, the main use of ergonomic design to make the product meet the person's physical, psychological characteristics and habits, and increase in use of the convenience and amenity.

The second level is the level of aesthetic and cultural needs. Ergonomic design requirements of product design from the concept of people starting the evaluation criteria of beauty, through the shape, texture, color and other aspects of rational combination to bring users of the product aesthetic pleasure. the demand for the product of cultural values ​​related to social values, ethnic customs, ethics and many other aspects, which requires the designer before the design through careful investigation and analysis, to understand target consumers in these areas tendency of likes and dislikes, and rely on their own keen perception of the product features and form of prediction.


Second, the use of ergonomics and user-friendly design

Many modern industrial products are advertised their ergonomic design, and use it as a selling point. What kind of products require man-machine works? Performance in the design and how to become ergonomic products it ? only from the perspective of industrial design in this category, ranging from aerospace systems, urban planning, building facilities, factory automation, machinery and equipment, transport, small furniture, clothing, stationery, pots, cups, dishes like a variety of production and life created by the "objects" in the design and manufacture must take the "human factor" as an important condition to consider. If we product category is divided into specialized supplies and general supplies, then, in the man-machine engineering professional supplies will have more consideration, it is more emphasis on the physiological level; while the general product you must take into account the psychological issues that require more in line with the trend of design and Aesthetics, that is, should the demand for a product-based human .

Ergonomics significant feature is that a careful study of man, machine and environment characteristics of the three elements on the basis of its own, not simply focus on individual elements of the fine or not, but will use "objects" and designed "objects" as well as people with "objects" of the coexistence of the environment as a system to study. This system will be in ergonomics as "man - machine - environment" system which, the man, machine and the interaction between the three elements of the environment, interdependence determines the overall system performance. The discipline of human-machine system design theory is scientific use of the three elements of the organic link between the system to find the best parameters.

Meiling refrigerator for the rural market with user-friendly design, for example, in product design, Meiling in addition to follow the moisture, rust-proof materials and other special design, will be energy saving, wide-voltage start, -10 ℃ ambient temperature such as personalized start features added to the specially designed products among rural consumers feel that "practical." For example, more problems for the rural mice, specifically the addition of anti-rat devices; for the more affluent consumers in rural areas, specially designed three door refrigerator; larger for the rural characteristics of the dust, in the refrigerator door at the top added a clamshell; the demand for electricity savings, the introduction of the Japanese consumption is only 0.29 degrees of super energy-saving refrigerators, consumption of this product three days less than once , is the most successful brands in the power of the refrigerator a refrigerator!
In addition to the general public outside of consumer goods, designed for special groups of products there is also more ergonomic considerations. For example, people with disabilities to use porcelain kits, this set is designed specifically for people with disabilities to do the dishes, not people see that they are directly to do for people with disabilities. Therefore, the designer, taking full account of ergonomics based on the special treatment of the bump handle, so that patients have a state of mind in his hand on the balance, both to see and can touch, but not so conspicuous.


Third, the design aesthetic based on the user-friendly design

Functional requirements of industrial products, the aesthetic image of the product has beautiful shape, giving the United States pleasure. The designer according to the form of law, characteristics of the times, the national style, by point, line, surface, space, color, texture and a series of elements to form the image, resulting in aesthetic value. Aesthetics people under the influence in a number of factors, always in constant change, so the industrial product design need to be constantly sum up experience and the flexibility to use the rules of Aesthetics and user-friendly design to create a unique product image Product any a feature of the content or meaning must be reflected by the product itself, but to reflect the product of human nature, you have to start from the elements of the product, analyzing the various forms of product elements by the form of design elements - shape, color, decoration and other changes to achieve product of human design.

1 product modeling user-friendly design
Modeling is an important aspect of creating a theme, mainly through product scale, shape, proportion and hierarchy of the impact of psychological experience, allowing users to generate a sense of ownership, a sense of achievement, intimacy, and also to create the necessary atmosphere gives rise to environmental exaggeration, subtle, interesting, pleasant, relaxed, mysterious and so different psychological conditions. Links to free download http://www.hi138.com reflect a certain form of the product shape indicative characteristics, suggesting that people use the product way, the operation mode by shape similarity form of advance and retreat as the cutter blade designed for thumb buttons and the design of the negative convex-shaped bar, not only to facilitate the retreat operation of the blade suggests that it is used, the number of fruit knife or kitchen knife has cut designed to indicate a negative form of hand position by the shape of a causal link, such as the shape knob surrounding the use of tactile side of the number of slots, the thickness of the visual form to convey the fine tuning knob is a screw or a large amount of coarse ; container the size of openings used to suggest the precious things in full bloom or not, the amount being consumed and length of storage time.

Morphological characteristics of the product but also a symbolic show of products, mainly reflected in the grade of the product itself, nature and interesting and so by the language patterns reflect the technical characteristics of products, product features and inherent quality, including the transition between the parts , surface texture, color and other aspects of the deal with the relationship, reflecting the excellent product quality and craftsmanship by a good grasp of the language form a symbol of product quality, reflecting the level of a product and different, often marked by product, commonly used local A typical way shape or color, materials, or even price to reflect, such as flags "Braun" unmatched grade razor symbol, symbols of wealth and status of the master but only with a gold watch as a timer, etc. by product form language can reflect the symbol of product safety in electrical, machinery and hand tools in product design is important, reflected in the user's both physical and mental well-known brand, totally full, the overall shape, workmanship, color and calm will give people with psychological sense of security, a reasonable size, inadvertent touch of the button switches the physical design will give people a sense of security.

2 product color user-friendly design
Color as the color appearance of the product, not only have aesthetic and decorative, but also has symbolic meaning and symbolism as visual aesthetic core, the color a profound impact on people's visual experience and emotional state. Product design implies that people of color The use and to remind the people's attention, such as traditional cameras are mostly black as the shell surface to show the opacity at the same time draw attention to light and gives a professional precision strict sense, and places the modern digital camera silver color, gray and more vivid color line as a product of the color rendering. Color design should be based on the theme of the product expression, reflecting its appeal, while also being of color experience the times, social, cultural, regional and lifestyle, the impact of customs, the trend reflects the tendency to pursue, such as "drying chair" Her structure is very simple, but gives a very new feeling, because he used a variety of natural colors of aniline or paint color, or be polished, the color is very rich, very bold and creative means and achieved unexpected results. because her color and not the same as an ordinary chair, ideal for those who seek the individual needs of consumers.

3 Material of human design
People's perception of the psychological process material is undeniable, but the texture itself is an art form, if the product space form is moving, then the use of good materials and colors can make the product design in the most simple way is full of art. material texture texture is characterized by the surface gives a visual and tactile experience as well as psychological and symbolic associations. the texture of the product form factor can be implied in the use or served as a warning. It has long found a fingerprint on the finger contact with the handle surface into a thin-shaped protrusion, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the hand and increases the friction dominated objects, which makes products, especially hand tool handles, and an effective use of force and control as a finger at the hint. By selecting the appropriate modeling materials to increase the emotional, romantic elements, and thus the product of more interactive with people in the choice of materials, not only with the strength, wear resistance and other physical quantities to be assessed, and consider the relationship between material and human emotions distance as an important evaluation scale. different texture texture give people a different psychological feelings, such as glass, steel products, technology can express atmosphere, wood, bamboo can express natural, simple, human and other means. Texture and texture of materials will directly affect the performance characteristics of materials used in the system after the final visual product.

User-friendly product design not only makes life more comfortable and convenient, the product between the user and the product becomes harmonious. Non-human form of the product allows consumers to use more time and energy to pondering it, understand it, adapt it, or even accommodate it, if not comfortable using the pen, get a sense of fatigue, to prepare the seats, etc., all affect the We are happy life; product user-friendly design is a manifestation of the times and social progress, the future development of the inevitable trend of industrial design, industrial design as a successor, the demand for products from the people and products in the form, color, function, decoration, etc. designed to reflect the various factors of the product of human design, so that future product design more suitable for consumer psychology and personality of the new requirements.
