Initial Ideas

Target Market
1. I could base it towards children
  1. 7 - 13 yrs
  2. there is a gap in the market for easy-to-use, child friendly radios
  3. Girls or Boys?
    1. at young ages, children can be very particular about the colour which they might want the product to be.
      1. if I wanted to aim my product towards girl I could make it bright pinks and purples (stereotypically)
      2. if I wanted to aim it towards boys I could make it dark greens and blue and blacks
2. I could base it more towards adults
  1. they might be more likely to be visiting a museum and buying products from the museum shop.
  2. Is there a gap in the market for radios for adults though? There are many Radios which are for adults so how could I make my product stand out?
Location
1. it would have to be designed to fit on a flat surface.
2. in a children's bedroom?
3. in a kitchen or living area?
  1. where would you be listening to the radio
Materials
1. what materials should i consider?
  1. acrylic or HIPS
    1. acrylic can be heat moulded and has strong colours and a huge variety of coulours.
    2. HIPS can be vacuum formed and has many bright colours
    3. Easy to glue and secure in shape. Also it can be cut using a Lazer cutter.
  2. leather - many radios have a leather cover and i really like the aesthetics of that on radios
2. metals
How?
1. what techniques could i use to make my product?
  1. vacuum forming
  2. acrylic heat moulding
  3. soldering (components onto circuit board)
  4. welding
Price
1. I think that this type of product could be worth up to about £30
  1. I looked at existing product prices, with my target market being children, and the price range seemed to be mainly around £15 - £40.
aestheitcs
1. i would want it to look modern and simple and easy to use.
2. if i was to aim it towards child girls i would make it bright pinks and purples
