  11. Food • Designing a healthy lunch

  12. User Who are you making it for ? for a child for an adult for a shop What age range is the product for eg baby, teenager, adult, elderly- have you researched the specific needs of the user?

  13. Purpose What is the product you are making for? • Look at the unit of work- what is the end product- the aim. • Eg- electrical control eg create a torch to be used in the night by a child camping

  14. Design Have design decisions been made? • Have you thought about the appearance of the product? • Have you thought about colour? • Does it look interesting? • Is it a practical product eg size, material, how it accessed, how will it work eg open and close • Do you like it ?

  15. Work/ function Does it work? Can you use it? • Is it easy to use ? • Will it last? Or might it break easily? Eg does the box open and close? Does the light switch on and turn off? Does the monster move? • If it is a food product- does it look and taste good?

  16. Innovative Have you used some original thought and design in the product? • Are all the products different to look at? Have they all been made using original design • What/ who inspired your design? • Do you think your design is different to your peers’ designs?

  17. Authentic Is it real or a gimmick? Does it work? • eg is the bag big enough to hold? can you wear the slippers? does the photo frame stand up and can it display the picture properly? • Would you give this product to somebody ?
