Issues on Design Approach of Regional Brand Product Development with Students

Case Study on Project with Fukutsu City

Abstract

This paper is a discussion on a design approach of regional-brand product development with students through collaboration research between a university and a local government. As a case study, I focused on the project “Regional-brand Product Planning and Design Study using Ancient Tomb Motif “with Fukutsu City (Fukuoka Pref.).
In conclusion, I found out some issues from the viewpoint of student participation in research. They are considerations for students in research utilizing lessons, protection of student's rights, and intellectual property rights.
