Graphical Data Go to a google sheet Type in the 1st question in the 1st column, underneath right the options. In the next column right the number of responses. Highlight the question and create a pie chart of bar chart. Copy and paste here. Summary of Key Findings Write a bullet point list with your key findings from this page There should be 7 bullet points

9. MOODBOARD: Theme and Design Need RESEARCH & SPECIFICATIONS Annotations: Add text boxes that overlap the images. Next to your images you need to explain how they will inspire your designs. What elements do you like about different images? What elements could you take inspiration from when designing? I find this image inspiring because… I like how X…. I can take inspiration from this when designing by… This image could inspire the design of….(select a part / component) THEME MOODBOARD: Gather 10-15 images per small box, Create a collage in the box, overlap, consider layout Gather images related to: Photos, scenes,patterns, cliparts, colours, fonts, symbols DESIGN NEED MOODBOARD Based on the research that you have conducted for your project, list 4 Design Needs (what does the product need to do / achieve). They must be specific to your project. For example: Storing Identifying Carrying Dispense/Dose Fill Organising Stability Add 8-10 pictures to each section THEME DESIGN NEED Eg. Scenes Eg. Colour Eg.

COMPETITOR’S PRODUCT ANALYSIS PRODUCT IMAGE NAME / COST STORE or WEBSITE STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES RESEARCH & SPECIFICATIONS Competitor’s Product Analysis Product Image Collect an image of an inspiring product State the name Cost Store or website name Strengths and Weaknesses: In a bullet point list of strengths and weaknesses. Try to be critical Use this list to help you: How successful are the aesthetics? Colours / theme / imagery / texture / surface finish Does the cost reflect the product accurately? Does it fit within your client’s budget? Does it fulfil its function? Does it meet the client’s needs? Does it look well made? Will it have a long life span? Can it be easily repaired if broken or would it need to be replaced completely? What else do you like or not like about it? ERGONOMICS EASE OF USE COMFORT SAFETY ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA NEEDED Ergonomics Answer the following questions: Ease of Use What elements of your product will the client actively use (Eg. a drawer handle / drawer / handle for transporting) How can you ensure that these elements are easy to use? ( Eg. signage / colour / texture / grip / size / shape) Comfort What elements of your product need to be comfortable to use? (Eg surface of handle / area for sitting) How can you ensure that these elements are easy to use? (Eg. surface texture / padding / grip / shape) Safety What elements could be potentially hazardous? (small parts / sharp edges / detachable components / weight of an area /electrical hazards) How will you ensure they are not a hazard to the user? How can you ensure the product is safe to use / used safely? Anthropometrics In this box you will need to consider which parts of the body will be in contact with / use your product. Find an image online that shows the areas you will need to take dimensions from. Eg anthropometric data of an average hand. Explain with annotations why each specific dimension is needed. For example: Circumference of forefingerfor pushing buttons. Circumference of forfinger and thumb when closed for gripping a handle comfortably.
