1. What is Product Analysis?
This is a form of primary research,
It involves looking at existing products,
Working out how they were made,
Seeing what features might be useful to a new design

2. Product Analysis What do we look at?
Materials – What are they made from and why?
Function – What is the product designed for? How does it work?
How can it be maintained?
Target Market – Who is it designed for?
Ergonomics – Has the product been designed to suit the user? How easy was it to assemble?
Manufacturing - How is it manufactured? How can we produce something similar in school?
Style – How can you describe the style? Is it modern? Has it been influenced by a design movement?

3. Product Analysis
Who is it designed for? How does this impact on the design?
What are they made from and why?
Has the product been designed to suit the user? How easy is it to assemble?
How can you describe the style? Is it modern? Has it been influenced by a design movement? What is the product designed for? How does it work? How can it be maintained? How can it be improved
How can we make something like it in school? (you might have to change the material)
Does it stand safely? Is the load evenly distributed? Can you touch the bulb? How is the shade held, can it be secured, is it safe?
How has it been packaged? Is it secure? How does it impact on the environment?
How big is it?
How heavy is it?
