Aesthetics

What do you think about how the product looks?
Is it successful or not? Why?
Are the looks (colour, shape, styling) suitable or not for the end user? How and why?
How could they be improved in your design?

Function

What are the main functions for the product, what does it do GIVE FULL DETAILS FOR THIS? For example:

“This chair allows the user to sit down at a desk. The user is able to swivel on the chair to change position as the main support post is not fixed. The user can also move around the room whilst sitting on the chair as it has caster wheels on the base of the legs.”

How well does the product perform these functions? How could you use these suggestions as inspiration to design a BETTER product.

Consumer

Who is the intended end user?
What is the intended consumer profile?
Has the product been designed appropriately for he intended user or not? How and why?
Have the ergonomics/anthropometrics been designed correctly for the intended end user? Explain.

Cost

Is the product cost effective? Is it too expensive, too cheap, priced correctly?
How much would you be willing to pay?
Why is the product priced as it is? Is it because of its brand name, its quality, the materials used? What do you think, anything to add? How will this effect your design?

Environment

How does the product effect the environment:
When it was made (manufacturing process) , materials used, energy used
When its being used, does it give off any emissions or pollution?
When it is disposed of, is it recyclable, can it be reused?

Materials

What are the materials that have been used to make the product?
Are the materials suitable?
Are they strong enough?
Do they have the properties that are required for that product? Are they good or bad quality?
Do the materials add any aesthetic qualities? What do you think?

Size

How big is the product generally? For example: “its too big to fit in a pocket which makes it difficult to transport.” therefore how could the size be improved?
Is it too big, too small or correctly sized for the intended user? How? Think about anthropometrics?

Safety

How safe is the product to use?
Are any parts of it dangerous, what are they and how are they dangerous.
Is it safe enough for the end user to use?
