Features: This book will become a source of inspiration for creative designers. The University of Graz (Higher Vocational College) in Graz has included the design major as a key focus area of the university. The university has specifically developed specialized courses, including "Industrial Design" and "Information Design." The educational goal of the design major has always been to cultivate creative talents to promote the professionalization of the design industry in their home country. It aims to train a group of individuals who possess outstanding artistic creativity while also understanding the necessary technical and economic knowledge for future work. The curriculum of the University of Graz is highly innovative, providing the right foundation to achieve the above goals. The regular study of the design major at the University of Graz mainly includes 8 semesters, with two distinctive features: 1. Controlling the number of students to enhance communication and collaboration between teachers and students; 2. A strict practice-oriented approach. Additionally, the University of Graz regards teaching quality as its highest principle. In 1999, the graduates of the "Industrial Design" program showcased their graduation design works at the "Graduation Exhibition," leaving a deep impression on the audience. This fully demonstrates that the achievements we have made have far exceeded our initial expectations. We firmly believe that readers of this book will share the same feelings as us when they see the creative works of the students. This book collects design works on various themes. It not only takes you on a journey of courage but can also serve as a reference book and "inspiration repository," helping you fall in love with design work and create innovative pieces. Europeans have created a unique style in world design through their romantic and free-spirited nature, as well as their long-standing artistic traditions. This book compiles the works of students from a renowned design college in Austria over the years, covering design fields such as electronic devices, digital products, transportation vehicles, sports equipment, leisure products, and medical instruments. All the works are highly creative, fully showcasing the artistic style of European design with its vibrant spirit, as well as their shaping concepts based on aesthetics, human engineering, computer technology, and other applied technologies. While displaying the works, this book also provides critiques for each piece and introduces the entire process of the works, from sketches, three-view drawings, renderings to model-making. This book is an invaluable reference for product designers and students and teachers of industrial design.
