I think in order to improve in this area I had to gain more of an understand how things work and due to my progress in Product analysis I think that this has helped me when creating my own design in terms of making the Innovative and functional products.
After my backwards step in my electronics product I wanted to redeem myself in my Design and make by creating something which is very functional and unique. I think my bee product fulfils this criteria.
I also think in order to create Innovative and functional design I cant just rely on what I know or just pick it out of the air, I think what improved how well my product works and how it was different from existing products was I did the following;

I also think in order to create Innovative and functional design I cant just rely on what I know or just pick it out of the air, I think what improved how well my product works and how it was different from existing products was I did the following;
- Conducted much better research into my client, existing products and materials
- Analysed my research- look for gaps in the market (My bee product for example; non of the existing bee boxes had a compartment for a flower, or were made from any other materials aside from wood and were all expensive to buy and post!... these were gaps that needed filling)
- Model making and testing! (this made me realise how parts work in real life which I couldn't get from just drawings, a lot of design decisions were made from model making)
As a result of these findings coupled with the
