APIIT 21 DESIGN : THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT FOR SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTS AND PROMOTION

Design lies behind everything we buy, use and desire. Good design is attractive, useable and practical and also sells. Good designers combine aesthetics with functionality, communications with entrepreneurialism, visual communications capability with effective written and spoken communications and the ability to work and empathise with others.

Designers work on everything from household products to industrial ones, from advertisements to any visual communication, from small to massive projects, for themselves and for large corporations.

Every time you buy something a designer has been involved in creating it and promoting it. What you buy may have been made in one country, but has usually been designed in UK, Europe or USA. The net flow of payments for licences and royalties of designs from manufacturing countries such as China to UK is massive. British designers are amongst the leading designers in the world and have developed their expertise in UK Universities such as Staffordshire University. Now you can experience the advantages of studying design with Staffordshire University in Malaysia. The Degrees offered by APIIT have the same curriculum as at Staffordshire University in the UK. They will develop your abilities to work on your own and in a team in initiating and creating a wide range of products and promotional activities, including advertisements for print, broadcast, and online as well as display packaging and other promotional support tools.

Many of the world’s most iconic and recogniseable designs originate in the UK. Think of the UK Union Jack flag to be found on clothing and cars, the easily recogniseable MINI car, the London Underground map which has been copied by rail systems around the world and London buses.

Fashion labels and furniture, electronics and vehicles, steam irons and kettles, toasters and tools; these are all the products of a designer with a vision and the ability to turn that into something people want to buy.

Many well known designers are associated with Staffordshire University and the Staffordshire area. The designer of arguably the most iconic products of our age, the iPad and iPhone, is an Englishman called Sir Jonathan Ive who went to school in Stafford and has a UK Product Design degree.

Bentley Motor Cars are made near to the University and their designers are visiting lecturers to the University. The designer and originator of Dyson products, Sir Staffordshire is also the home of the James Dyson is an honourary degree British Tableware industry where surface holder from Staffordshire University. pattern and shape design have long Dyson are world famous for products been an essential part of the production such as vacuum cleaners and the of cups, mugs, plates and many other innovative range of Dyson Fans and ceramic products. Perhaps the most well hand dryers. known is Jasper Ware by Wedgwood, ornamental products on sale in shops and airports worldwide. One of the most successful of contemporary designs is produced by and designed by Emma Bridgwater, founder of the Hemmingway Design builds brands (the company of the same name, who is also iconic label Red or Dead was the first a Staffordshire University honourary and Vintage is the latest) and works degree holder. for such as John Lewis, G Plan, Hush Puppies, Taylor Wimpey Homes, Crown Other Staffordshire University honourary Paints, Sky TV, Sainsbury’s, McDonalds, degree holders include such famous Coca Cola, and Nissan. Vehicles are designers as Tim Smit, founder of represented by Staffordshire University Yanko Design, Wayne and Gerardine Honourary degree holder Wing Hemmingway founders of Hemmingway Commander Andy Green who is the Design and originators of the famous current Land Speed Record holder, and Red or Dead brand of clothes and shops the only man EVER to have travelled at around the world. supersonic speed on land.
