Hi all,
Is anyone aware of any scholarly writing about the preference for the use of the terms 'Industrial Design' or 'Product Design' or otherwise - be it to describe professional practices, educational programs and regional differences? There appears to be a number of posts on such matters on various design forums, and these opinions are important, but is there any work out there that addresses the specifics of each, maps or compares what each term may mean and its differing perceptions in various contexts or locations?
