JULIEN AYER STUDIO offers a comprehensive range of services aimed at transforming ideas into functional, aesthetic, and marketable products. Here are the main services the studio can provide:
1. Market Research and Analysis
- Market study: Analyzing current trends, consumer needs, and competitors to identify opportunities.
- User analysis: Understanding the expectations and behaviors of end-users to guide product design.
2. Product Design and Development
- Brainstorming and ideation: Generating creative and innovative ideas to meet identified needs.
- Sketches and concepts: Creating sketches, drawings, or quick mockups to visualize the initial design ideas.
- 3D modeling: Designing detailed digital models (CAD – Computer-Aided Design) of the product to assess its shape, functionality, and components.
3. Ergonomic Design
- Ergonomics study: Ensuring that the product is comfortable and easy to use, considering physical and cognitive interactions with the user.
- User testing: Conducting tests with prototypes to gather feedback and optimize ergonomics.
4. Prototyping
- Functional prototype fabrication: Creating physical prototypes, either by 3D printing, milling, or other techniques, to test ideas in the real world.
- Validation models: Producing mockups or visual prototypes to evaluate the appearance and proportions of the product.
5. Industrial Design
- Material selection: Choosing materials based on technical properties, aesthetics, and sustainability.
- Manufacturing process study: Preparing the product for mass production, taking into account production constraints and costs.
- Sustainable design: Designing products that are environmentally friendly by minimizing their ecological impact through recycled materials or eco-responsible processes.
6. Technical Development and Product Engineering
- Technical studies: Analyzing technical constraints to ensure the product’s feasibility (strength, durability, etc.).
- Collaboration with engineers: Working with engineers to ensure the design is technically feasible while complying with applicable standards and regulations.
7. Project Management and Industrialization
- Project planning and management: Overseeing all stages of product development, from concept to mass production.
- Coordination with manufacturers: Managing relationships with manufacturers, subcontractors, and suppliers to optimize the production process.
8. Graphic Design and Visual Communication
- Product graphics: Designing patterns or visual elements to be applied to the products (logos, typography, colors, etc.).
- Photorealistic 3D rendering: Creating attractive visuals for communication (catalogs, websites, advertisements) before the product is manufactured.
9. Eco-Design
- Sustainable and responsible design: Incorporating ecological principles from the design phase by favoring the use of recyclable, durable materials and reducing the product’s energy impact.
10. Consulting and Training
- Training in industrial design: Providing training to companies to introduce them to product design processes.
- Strategic consulting: Offering advice to optimize product development and maximize chances of success in the market.
