PRODUCT ANALYSIS
It is best to analyse 4-6 products, but do not use more than one A3 page on this section.
It important that you demonstrate that you can use primary and secondary product analysis. Primary is where you are photographed analysing products, whilst secondary product analysis is where you source images from magazines or the internet and analyse the image of them.
To complete the Product Analysis you can use ACCESSFM to carry out analysis of existing products.
Aesthetics - What does the product look like? What colour is it? What features does it have?
Consumer - Who is the targeted user of this kind of product? Infants/Children/Teenagers/Young Adults/Adults/OAPs?
Cost - How much does this product cost? How much do you think it might cost? Is it worth it? Why?
Environment - Where is this product used? Is there anything specific about the product that makes it suitable for this environment?
Size - How big is the product? Do you have the dimensions?
Safety - Are there any safety issues that the product has addressed? are their rounded corners? etc?
Function - What does the product do? What is its function?
Materials - What materials have been used to create the product? are they sustainable?
Manufacturing - What manufacturing processes have been used to create the product?
What do you think works well with the product? and what could you change to make it better?
You can use this information when developing your own similar product - You can include some of the things that you think worked well, and add the improvements that you suggested to create a brand new product that will beat your competition.
