Product Design
The design of products and services is typically viewed as a process of innovation and development. The objective is to design products and services that customers view as valuable based on their needs, preferences and perceptions. Product design is often a multidisciplinary initiative that may include elements of marketing, engineering and operations.Visual Design
Visual design including the look and feel of products, user interfaces, brand symbols and packaging.User Experience
The end-to-end experience of using a technology from the perspective of customers. This is typically focused on user interface design but can also include any element of a design that impacts customer needs and perceptions. For example, the form and weight of a mobile device may greatly influence the user experience.Information Design
The design of communications and information environments.Software Architecture
The structural design of software. Software can be extremely complex such that it is designed both at the structural and detailed level. This is analogous to an architect designing the structure of a building with interior designers planning the rooms.Software Design
The practice of planning software. Requires the talent of experienced software developers who can map out components, layers, interfaces, algorithms and data that meet a set of requirements in a reasonably efficient and resilient way.Engineering
