Evaluation



Evaluate the success of your business document.
  Does it have a professional appearance?
Yes, our product does have a professional appearance. However, its not professional enough to be able to survive in the real world. The paddle is a lot different and designed better with great ideas. The ideas will improve the movement and affection of the movement to the users.
 Who are the intended users and are they pleased with the outcome?
It was designed and intended for people who participate in stand up paddle surfing and yes.
Do you think your business document would survive in the business
world? Explain in detail. 
No, I dont think product would survive in the real world because it is not professional enough. The design does not stand out enough to be able to catch people's attention in public. I don't think many people would be attracted to buying my/our product.
I do think that the our design and my idea of the product were a very good idea. If this was completed professionally in the real world and a new brochure and advertisement materials were created for this product then it would survive in the real business world.
In my group, I do feel like 2/3 were doing more work.
For next time i would try to practice the tools more with adobe photoshop. Also, i would plan to give myself more to create the brochure and make it look more attractive.

Planning

Schedule:

-This lesson (22-11-13) I will complete my investigation
-The next lesson (27-11-13) I will continue to complete the investigation task if compulsory. If possible I will start the design task/criteria/part of the assessment together with my group members.
-For the next lesson I will complete the design with my group members in class as well as at home. (28-11-13)
-As homework between the 28 and 4 of November I , personally, will draw the design of the paddle, copy the drawing/scan the drawing on the printer, then take a picture and send the pictures to my group members. One drawing will be annotated explaining the functions of the paddle that we have added to the paddle ourselves as our own design and another drawing will be of the paddle its self with the colors and new functions added to it (just without the annotation).
-The 4th and the 5th of November my group and I will be editing and sharing ideas about how to improve our brochure.

·         The packaging will be a box with protection inside.
Evaluate:
·         Normal design=
Strength: It’s firm and paddles well.
Weakness: It’s bad for the back and hip.
·         Our design=
Strength: Doesn’t harm the hip and back.
Weakness: Might be hard to get used to.
Resources/Materials:
·         Paper
·         Pencil
·         Adobe Photoshop
·         Printer

·         Designers
What is so good about our product?
·         Well, the most obvious reason why you should buy our product is because it is much better for your backs and hips than the original design. It’s also unique in shape and it’s designed in a more comfortable way to hold.
