External Link
I'd like to suggest that a link to the Industrial Designers Society of America be added to the external links. Here is the link:http://www.idsa.org/ If anyone knows what ID is about, one would hope that our main professional organization would know. designerx (talk) 20:07, 15 July 2009 (UTC) - Hi I´m a product designer and I would like to post the following link. design research portal Marcdupré (talk) 13:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Psychology Section
I am adding a section about the psychology behind industrial design. Please add more to this section when possible. Gkardener (talk) 06:11, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * My initial thought is to remove it altogether. It's just one persons perspective (granted that Norman is a notable person) on problems with the industrial design profession and issues he feels need to be better addressed by industrial design.
 * Minimally, it should be trimmed, the term "psychology" should probably be removed, and then expanded based upon other sources. --Ronz (talk) 17:21, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and removed it.--Ronz (talk) 16:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Iconic design
This section seems to have started with good intentions, but now it has degenerated into a growing list of 'famous' designers and the things they have designed. (By the way, it's the products, not the people, that are 'iconic'.) I suggest pruning out some of these (Barnack and Schreckengost) who don't seem to be on the same broad level of influence as others, in terms of 'significant impact on culture and daily life' as specified at the head of the section.
