Learning Industrial Design
hop: Screw a book, start making things. If you have access to a shop, start prototyping things.Practice sketching objects freehand and learn a 3D modeling program like SolidWorks.Learn manufacturing processes - injection, thermoform, and rotomolded plastic. CNC machined, cast, and extruded metal. Composites. - Because you won't be successful designing things that can't be manufactured.And you can't go wrong with Deiter Ram's 10 design commandments - http://www.vitsoe.com/en/gb/about/gooddesignGood luck and btw, what are you trying to design?
