Design Management Trend Research Training
 
Design Management
TDCD has developed a full design management concept of working with European designers. The Client is able to penetrate the European markets with products designed for European taste and culture without language and cultural barriers.
From our data bank of more than 600 European agencies, TDCD will identify a selection of suitable design offices. The design process is split into four main phases. During the process of each phase, TDCD keeps close contact with the Client and Designer to ensure that specific needs and ideas are understood. Regular presentations are conducted at the Client's premises by our liaison specialists in Taipei to guarantee a smooth progress of the entire design process:
 
Design Orientation
Starting a project, the Designer taps resources and gathers all relevant information to guarantee the precise positioning of the product on the market. This is the key to a successful product launch and indispensable in developing the full market potential.
 
Concept Development
A selection of innovative market orientated concepts are developed taking into consideration the specific manufacturing requirements as well as the positioning of the product in the market. Visuals and 3D models display the design concepts and together with the manufacturer's marketing and engineering staff, the most suitable concept is selected for refinement.
 
Concept Refinement
The details of the design language and product characteristics are further refined. 3D mock-ups in excellent quality supply an accurate image of the final product. 3D data processed on the latest software and final colour schemes define all details of the design.
 
Market Implementation
The product's presentation and introduction into the market is of utmost importance to convey the characteristics of the product. With the use of the Designer's inside knowledge of European product marketing, intelligent concepts for packaging design, brochure layout and product graphics are developed to suit the product and the target customer.
