PRODUCT REVIEW | |
V. Ryan © 2010 | |
A product review is essential if a designer is to learn
from existing products or early models and make improvements to designs.
This is a constant process as seen in the automobile industry. Car
manufacturers learn from previous designs, especially from faults and
strive to improve the reliability and the style of their vehicles. Modern
cars, especially new models, can be recalled for small adjustments and
even safety checks. It is from these recalls that designers often develop
improvements and apply them to new cars rolling off the production line. |
|
The guitar designer starts with a general look at the
guitar he is reviewing. This is completed in minute detail and records are
carefully recorded. |
|
The designer gives each aspect of a the guitar a mark out of ten. Any aspect that scores less than eight is considered to be open to improvement. Aspects that require improvement are then rank in order of urgency with the lower scoring aspects usually being those that are improved first. (Not all designers use this system).
