Lesson details
Key learning points
- Once a prototype is completed, evaluating your prototype and design is important.
- Designers need to gather other people's opinions rather than just their own.
- Gathering feedback from the user and the target market is essential to ensure the prototype meets the needs of the user.
Keywords
Evaluate - to judge how a product meets the chosen criteria
User - who you are designing for
Target market - the specific group of people a product is designed and sold for
Market testing - trying out a product with the target market and users to see how well it works and whether they like it
Common misconception
The final evaluation is based upon the designer's perspective of the prototype and design process.
Testing and evaluations from the user and target market are essential to ensure the product meets the clients needs but is also commercially viable.
