As I continued to work on my hydration tablet product, there were a few things that were pointed out to me by my peers that I needed to seriously think about. The first thing was how I was actually going to make it different from the previous products on the market (apart from making it smaller). I decided that the best way to do this was to design a product which improves on the number of processes the human user has to go through in order to use this product. For example, instead of using a screw on cap with my product, I could use a pop up one, which would allow my product to be used one handed.
Peer Two: Sunprit Singh
He commented on the labelling of my product and how I would make it look good. Different colours gave different moods and I wanted to choose the colours which would really make my product stand out.
Tutor: (Simon)
We talked about the function of my product and how the tablets would actually be used in conjunction with the packaging. We also talked about the different types of material, which would make my product ideal for its size and weight restrictions as well as a few ideas for the labelling.
What did I learn:
After talking with my tutor and my peers, I learnt that there are a great many things to think about when designing a certain product for a certain group of people. Even though I wanted to target my product to people 'on the go' I still had to think about the other groups of people in society who would want to use my product as the wider the target market the more successful my product would become.
