Iconic Design As a designer I strive for products that are different. The meaning of differentiation, standing out among existing products and ways in which a product can differ, is one of the starting points of my degree project, Iconic Design – Is it Possible to Create a Design Icon?

Through them, I have challenged my approach to projects and to what I can achieve. I tested the new design process and methods in two case studies using a camera and a smoke alarm. These two products that have not been subject to any recent design developments, which gave me the opportunity to create two new icons. Capture and Constrain Your Creativity, a digital camera |
