Abstract :
This paper, aiming to improve the traditional design process, proposes a method that designers provide a basic conceptual form scheme of the products, but a detailed form is modified by the users according to the locally changeable two or three dimensional models released on the internet, and the needed several product form schemes can be achieved through statistic analysis of the feedbacks from the users. In this process, users redesign the shape in the mean while of product evaluation, which makes the users have a good knowledge of the products and makes the designers get the direct statistics of the most desirable morph from the perspective of the users. This method combines the form evaluation and design together, which is able to promote the communication between design and evaluation, thus to make design more efficient. The users´ evaluations are not vague language or figures any longer but are realized through simple diagram modification, which makes the evaluation more feasible and reflects the real needs of the users.
