Sample question
A designer is developing a reusable cup intended for primary-school children. Which combination of design factors should be prioritised FIRST for this end user?
- Safety, durability and non-toxic materials
- Aesthetics and brand identity
- Obsolescence and seasonal styling
- Unit cost and profit margin
Show the worked answer
Answer: A
For young children the overriding obligations are that the product cannot harm them. Safety (no choking parts, no scalding), durability (survives drops and rough handling) and non-toxic, food-safe materials are the non-negotiable factors a designer prioritises before aesthetics or cost.
