Toy and game designers are industrial designers who specialize in making toys or games. They develop ideas and build prototypes. Interactions with children are part of the process.
Toy designers typically work as a member of a team to determine production requirements and cost implications. They may eventually help promote the toy or game. Toy designers are generally familiar with all phases of toy manufacturing, such as product design, methods of production, marketing, and engineering. Typically a model or prototype is developed using computer software.
Toys vary from soft, plush, infant, and preschool toys to action toys and vehicles, as well as large and small dolls, games or puzzles. Toy designers must be aware of activities that stimulate children of different ages and, like artists, they must be imaginative and be able to create toys that are safe and that work.
Training Options and Costs:
A bachelor’s degree in industrial design, mechanical engineering, architecture, or fine arts is usually the minimum requirement for entry-level positions. College coursework should include liberal arts courses, child psychology, history of toys, art and modern art history, anatomy and ergonomics, concept creation, technical illustration, sketching and rendering, games and game theory, pattern making, safety regulations, manufacturing techniques, packaging design, and presentation.
An internship can give you some experience and help you land a job. You also need a portfolio of your work when you apply for a position.
After the first year foundation curriculum, students will take the following courses: Toy Design, Drawing, Technical Illustration, Model Making, Methods and Materials of Production, Conceptual Problem Solving/Brainstorming, English, Child Psychology, Applied Trigonometry, Communication Skills, Technical Problem Solving, Portfolio Development, Contemporary Art Survey, History of Toys, Games and Game Theory, Package Design, Business Practices, Toy Industry Practices, Natural Science: Anatomy and Ergonomics, Art History Elective and Liberal Art Elective. You will also need to complete an internship.
