The subject design is very vast. In our daily life every thing you see is a design. It could be a cup that you use for drinking your coffee, the bed that you use for sleeping the clothes that you wear, house you live in, all are a forms of design. These things that we use  from the beginning, were created by, pottery workers, weavers, tailors, construction masonry's labourer's and many more. 

In the present day the very work that is mentioned have been given a new name THE DESIGNERS. 

For designers many courses and degrees are available after one finishes school.

 All around the world in all countries design institutes have been established privately as well as by the governments.

Here are a few disciplines related to design. One can enroll into and specialise  in this skill oriented course after a student finishes school.

Furniture design is also undertaken by interior designers and, traditionally, by architects. The designers in this field have a good knowledge of different kinds of wood, types of wood grown in a particular region. Apart from wood furniture is also made by plywood, metal, steel, plastic. Designers study the workings of machineries that are used to cut the materials when the design has to be prepared as a model before it is implemented on large scale.

These designers may be seeking a unique style of furnishing for an interior or architectural project. Or they may be operating as a design consultant to a manufacturer, or as a manufacturing entrepreneur on their own behalf.

These designers create models and dummy to test the product. They have to prepare  2D drawings and illustrations to assist in their models workings. It is their job to select  select components and materials, resolve assembly and manufacturing details and produce digital and documentary instructions for others involved in the manufacturing process. They organise  tooling to prepare for production and develop and oversee subsequent adjustments and corrections to the product.

Industrial designers often work as part of a product development team. While other specialists such as electronics designers and mechanical engineers work on circuit boards and mechanical mechanisms the industrial designer may be working on the overall structure of the product, its appearance and the way in which the user will operate it.

Industrial design can overlap significantly with engineering design and in different countries the boundaries of the two concepts can vary, but in general engineering focuses principally on functionality or utility of products, whereas industrial design focuses principally on aesthetic aspects of products.
