The function of Product Design is that you are designing a solution

to a “problem”.Engineer-speak

The sense of Product Design is to create a mood that meshes with your user/brand.

Artist-speak

Recap

• What emotions do you want to evoke?

• How comfortable is it to handle?

• What are the steps to operate the product?

• What tech/modules need to be in the product?

This is NOT a phone

The Infamous Note7

Here’s why Samsung Note 7 phones are catching fire –CNET article

• Lithium-ion batteries are flammable

• (MAYBE) Batteries were squeezed too hard – causing a short circuit

• (MAYBE) Part of battery squashed – and cannot detect 100% charge

Things to Consider

(5W&H Framework)

• WHO is your User?

• WHAT is the function?

• WHEN is it used?

• WHERE is it used?

• WHY would you use it (compared to your competitor’s product)
