Product Design Styling
About this book
Product Design Styling by Peter Dabbs, published by Laurence King in 2021, is a 160-page English paperback devoted to the visual styling of consumer products. Dabbs, a practising designer who has worked at Dyson, breaks styling into staged professional steps: proportion, silhouette, line, and the evaluation of competitors and of one's own work. Annotated illustrations, photographs, and modified images show how to read and improve a product's appearance without treating styling as decoration added at the end.

For students, the book is a rare studio manual on a subject often left tacit in critiques. It is useful across modules that ask for form development, visual language, and competitive analysis, and it helps students judge when a design is resolved. On a university reading list it belongs with design thinking and practice and with product design studios.
