Along with Spencer Nugent, industrial designer and concept artists Scott Robertson has a special place at the top of our favorite design process educators list.

Long before YouTube allowed educators to upload their tutorial videos, Robertson published a handful of design sketching DVDs through The Gnomon Workshop – DVDs that became so popular, they were difficult to keep on hand in design school libraries.

These days, Robertson continues to produce design sketching videos – along with more in-depth books – while balancing more professional design projects.

More recently, Art Station took the time to stop by Robertson’s Design Studio Press to talk more about his definition of industrial design, how it closely relates to entertainment design, and what trends he sees happening today:
