What are the benefits of creating a conceptual design?


Conceptual design is an early phase of the design process, in which the broad outlines of function and form of something are articulated. It includes the design of interactions, experiences, processes, and strategies. It involves an understanding of people's needs and how to meet them with products, services, and processes. Common artifacts of conceptual design are concept sketches and models.

In order to create a great product, conceptual design is key. Conceptual design is the phase of development where engineers and designers work to understand any design issues and find a solution. It is one of the earliest phases of development and usually involves creating a number of solutions so that the direction of the design can be slowly narrowed down.

 

Why is it so important early on in the design process?

 

Conceptual design undoubtedly has to be the first step because it is the results of this step that feed into the detail of the design and engineering process further down the line. Development only increases in cost the longer you have to wait to have a completed and solid concept foundation. The success of a product often depends on how well thought out and produced the initial concept design is.

 

What are the benefits of creating a conceptual design?

 

  • The first benefit to conceptual design is always the clarity it provides of what a product can do and what its intended use is. This is key when creating a product and without this, the process will encounter problems later down the line.

  • Conceptual designs help to create a clear user interface that is easy to understand and interpret.

  • It helps to describe the roles of different users and their requirements in detail so that the project is better understood from the offset.

  • The design will help to carefully consider the user's points of view making the final results easier the achievement as well as current design trends and materials.

  • Without a good conceptual design, the various processes involved in creating a product will become drawn out meaning more time and money will have to be funneled into the project to achieve the desired result. This process can be easily streamlined by using a good conceptual design as this will help prevent repetitive tasks.
