Learn to design in a simple and versatile way to get more with less
Nowadays a designer can spend hours searching for visual references or inspiration on the internet to conceptualize a project, something that, according to Adolfo Navarro - product designer and course teacher Introduction to leather design - can be counterproductive to reach a solid concept and achieve a high quality design.
In search of new processes to approach projects in a structured way, Adolfo created a work methodology called Configurative Design, and in this course you will learn its basic principles, to achieve product designs that fulfill several purposes, applying concepts of interaction, deconstruction and configuration in your creative process.

Excelente metodología, la encuentro muy funcional para los tiempos planetarios que corren. En un mundo lleno de objetos de un solo uso crear objetos configurativos es revolución, limpieza, simplificación.
