As prosed earlier, i planned to use more primary research in my modules to give me better quality and unique research. I created an online questionnaire and photographic client & context research in my design and make module. It was very beneficial conducting my own research as it ensured my product was appropriate for its intended purpose (especially in my design and make which was for a specific client) and helped with decision making in particular details such as aesthetics, context and functions.
After i had finished the project i feel i could have asked much more varied questions and maybe i lead people down a path which suited me? i did have an idea already what i wanted to make and feel i did influence the people doing my questionnaire which the kind of questions i asked. I also didn't really analyse the results as fully as i could have.

If i was to do this again i would:
- Ask more open questions
- get a larger sample of questionnaires completed
- analyse the results
- Do a questionnaire because it is going to benefit the product not just for the sake of it
