Evaluating a Product (Enhanced DVD)

Every product sold to consumers is put through a very detailed assessment to ensure that the product being created will serve a need or a want that many consumers have. This documentary takes viewers through the production process starting with the importance of a product's design concept. Basic principles that guide the aesthetic value of any product put on the market are discussed at length. It also includes a discussion about how a product's aesthetic principles are maximized in order to make a particular product as appealing to as many consumers as possible. The functional efficiency of products placed on the market is also discussed. The link between a product's functional efficiency and the way it is designed is another topic that this DVD delves into.
