Design Success / Failure (1 Viewer)

[dawso]

what would you say is the most obvious reflection of a design's success or failure..... if u look at a design, how would u determine whether it has been a success or not?

The ability to return a profit to the designer is a big factor in determining the success of a design. Then it's level of ease of use and suitability to achieve the need it was intended to originally fulfill.

yeah, with the profit bit, thats of course what we have read in excel but i reckon its a load of shit especially if the aim wasnt 2 make a profit, but was 2 help society, so im looking for other ideas aye...

well the design would be a failure.. if it doesnt match the design brief and if it doesnt function the way u have set in the criteria to establish success
also the aesthetic appearance of the design can also determine its success..
just renmeber the design may also be a failure if it doesnt suit meet the intended target market!
other factors that can determine a designs success is its safety and if it meets the australian safety standards etc.
if the design is successful in all these then the design is going good (Y)
