Wk4, Prefinal + Week 4 consultation reflection, no.4

First question to Cormack, was about the wall thickness of the container, and the wall thickness should ideally be uniform. Second question, was PET material suitable for this design, and PET would be crushed (deform) under mechanical stress, e.g. PET soft drink bottles can be crushed. Third question, if the squeeze design possible, and the design may need a spring mechanism or something that will assist the container retain original form after the squeeze pressure.

Tutor - There is need of little tweek in the ergonomics for the container to fit comfortably for the hand. The base cap may need to be wider/bigger surface to able to stand upright on the enclosure. Poster can be improved by showing context of use, such as illustrated hands. Show more sectional drawings on CAD.

Focus Group - Poster needs context, such an image of a toast with honey dispensed from the container. 
Graphics and embossed features on the container can improve the visual and aesthetic of the product, e.g. have hexagon-geometry to represent honey-comb. The title/name of the product can be changed and be more related to the squeezing function.

Great concept and poster layout. Nice use of association to other mechanisms using a squeeze to use and addresses the honey issue quite nicely. You may have liked to include further technicalities within the product user poster with how to hold the product from a different angle
