Industrial design presentation board: a folding lamp concept review
Use the 65° view as hero, two other poses as movement references and the colorway strip as the decision row. Put “choose finish for A01 and L01” in the review box.
Input and decision
Name the review after the decision: select the arm and head finish for Pivot 01. A board headed only “Design exploration” makes it hard to close the meeting. Pivot 01 is an original presentation model. Material and mechanical approval require their own evidence.
Set up the comparison
Put the same part numbers and pose in every option. Give appearance, motion and manufacturing questions separate labels so one green tick does not approve all three.
Make the comparison
Hide the hero view and ask the reviewer to name the part being approved. Add the missing part ID, finish or pending check to the decision row.
Worked record
The downloadable worksheet includes the records below and a blank row for your own project.
| Decision | Source view | Option | Still open | Reviewer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Choose A01 finish | 65 degree view | Oxide | Sample match | Industrial designer |
| Explain pose | 25 and 65 degree views | Same arm | Clearance test | Mechanical engineer |
| Prepare handoff | OBJ | Four named objects | Production dimensions | Engineering |
Check the result
On a second pass cover the hero image. If the remaining labels cannot identify the part, finish and unresolved issue, add them before sending.
Hand off the revision
Record the selected finish beside its part number and send the outstanding clearance question to mechanical engineering.
Review question
How should I split a design review across appearance, motion and handoff?
Assign the finish to industrial design, clearance to mechanical engineering and the production dimensions to the engineering handoff. Keep each unresolved decision beside its source view.
Use the task on your own brief
Use a copy of the worksheet to keep the project’s source files, reviewed options and decisions together.
