I felt like I understood how to analyse a product..... which is great ..... BUT SO WHAT? ...how is knowing this going to help me .... It wasn't until I was designing my own product that I realised the benefit of product analysis. Product analysis is an important part of the design process and I need to USE IT!
Analysing an existing products and seeing how they have been designed in a particular way really helped with my own design decisions for my own product and ultimately I created a much better quality product!

How my understanding has changed;
- Analysing a product isn't just about describing what I can see but things that are not so immediate such as how much it costs to buy, where were the materials sourced from,and are the materials recyclable
- Be critical of products, nothing is perfect.
- Think about how I would improve the product
- Consider if I could incorporate elements of the design in my own work
Analysing my own product really highlighted to me that I had understood this section and using product analysis to benefit my products gave myself a 3 star rating.
