Remember … product design is about making things that people
want to own, enjoy
and with which they feel comfortable.
At the end of a period of time even
the best and most successful products need to be changed a little
- Perhaps just to revitalise a sagging market response or
perhaps to improve the efficiency with which the item is made.
Perhaps the changes are necessary for some safety reasons
that have come to light
whilst the product has been in use.
So, ask yourself lots of ways to improve any specific item that
you use every day - and then set about suggesting ways that it
could be improved. Imagine why the manufacturer would want
to change features of any design and would those changes be cost-effective
and secure revitalised sales ?
Such proposals really define the start of doing the whole thing
again ! Although the main consideration that stops constant
change is economy of production.
So one product design is simply the end of one stage of the product's
life span.
It may only be the 'end
of the beginning'
if the company
gets everything right.
