Summary

The journey that an idea for a product takes can vary dramatically depending on the research and testing methods used. This four-topic unit covers different enterprise opportunities as well as the post product realisation processes of branding and marketing in the modern digital age. Students will learn how to conduct a feasibility study to gauge a product's potential and why it is vital in a product's success. The unit culminates by looking at the many forms of design communication and suggests which may be better for any given task.

Received a copy of the AS textbook last week. I had it with me at the CAS conference (light reading on the train), several others saw it and we all thought it looks excellent. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making something that seemed daunting, so manageable and teachable.
