What is it about the products you use everyday that you like? What causes you to want to buy a cell phone or a backpack? Is it the commercials or the appearance of the product? Whatever the reason, design plays a vital role in the creation and marketing of any product.
Procedure
This activity is designed to provide an introduction to design. As a team of two, you will brainstorm ways to enhance or change an everyday object so that nearly every consumer would want to purchase it.
- Brainstorm for 15 minutes with your team to identify enhancements or changes that you would make to the item. Changes or enhancements could be anything; you are not limited by cost.
- Select ideas to enhance or change the item from the brainstorming list.
- Each member of the team should develop and sketch a potential change or enhancement to your product.
- Your team will take five additional minutes to develop a justification for each potential change to the item.
- Your team speaker will present your changes to the class.
