(con8nued):
 Remember
to
use
as
many
of
the
following
headings
as
possible:
 • Aesthe<cs
–
what
it
looks
like
 • Func<on
–
what
does
the
product
do
 • Quality
–
is
it
well
made?
 • Size
–
what
sizes
are
available,
do
you
think
they



 


are
appropriate?
 • Safety
–
are
there
and
aspects
of
the
product
that
could
cause
 
















harm?
 • Scale
of
manufacture
–
how
easily
could
it
be
mass
produced?
 • Construc<on
details
–
what
specific
techniques
have
they
used
to

 






 
 





















make
the
product?

Could
you
use
anything
similar?
 • Materials
–
what
have
been
used?
What
proper8es
do
they
have
which

 





















make
them
appropriate
for
that
par8cular

 • Decora<ve
techniques
–
what
have
been
used?

Could
you
use
similar
 
 
 
 
 





techniques?
 • Environmental
–
how
does
the
product
effect
the
environment?

Think
about
 
 
 








whether
materials
are
renewable,
durable
or
not?
 • Sustainability
–
can
the

be
used
in
it’s

Gannt
Chart

Gannt
Charts
can
be
produced
in
‘wrinen’
in
different
ways.

 However,
as
long
as
they
show
a
clear
8me
plan
for
making
your
 product,
either
way
is
fine.
 Break
down
the
making
of
your
product
into
individual
tasks,
how
many
lessons
will
it
 take
you
to
make
the
whole
product?

Work
on
the
basis
that
you
have
10
hours
(8
 lessons!)
to
make
it.
