First Assignment

The first assignment was the product analysis.

Product analysis is about analysing a product.
It is about investigating and comparing existing products that relate to the design problem.
It determines whether it meets the need it was designed for and whether it fits the purpose it was intended for. There are usually questions to be asked like:

-can they do what they are supposed to do?
-what materials are they made from?
-what do they look like?
-how much do they cost?
-are they safe to use?
-how do they work?
-are they reliable?

Product analysis is also about comparing one product with another.
