MODIFICATIONS

Make a note of the conclusions reached from testing of the product and of any modifications you made during the making process. Turn these notes into a final list of modifications to add to your folio.

EVALUATION

Compare your solution with each point on your design specification.

Evaluate on the success of the solution (write a couple of lines on how well you think you have accomplished what you said you would).

Customer research; ask potential users what they think of the product, does it do what it says it will? how easy is it to use? e.t.c.

Explain any problems you came across during design or manufacture and how you overcame them.

List any changes you have made to the design after the original specification was devised.
