  2. Customer Requirements and Product Selection Target Audience -- Any and all people visiting an educational institution Choosing a design -- We went through many larger-scale ideas before deciding on our final idea: a directory service for students and visitors with little map knowledge of the campus. Why we chose this design -- high feasibility, local utility, easily operated by people of all ages.

  4. The Process of Design & Iterations • The initial design of this product is very similar to the final version. • Due to the simplicity of the idea, a sleek modern look was chosen in order to maximise user accessibility as well as cost-effectiveness. • Later iterations simply changed basic dimensions and added a wall mount for ease of access. • Updates in code allowed for continually updating weather and travel times
