in my mdp am i trying to market the product i am makeing or just construct it?

lets say that im building a coffee table, in my foilio would i need to state any additional resources needed to market my product such as fliers and extra finances etc, or not?

That depends on whether your project proposal conveys an intent to market it. At this late stage i would be just saying that you are the target market.

i wouldnt say so. Dt is the process and not the marketing..

 

[fakingtheday]

Marketing is part of the process if you make it that way. You have to have clearly identified your intent to market though. I'm guessing in your case because you've actually asked the question you have no intent.

i am doing something similar also,i am marketing my product and actually plan on selling it to people from my town at local markets. i am puting it all in my folio and plan on making it one of the main aspects of my design

if you want the marks, do it all. document the process, know the target market and create some marketing to cater to this market. for my project, i had the whole process documented, testing and all that stuff, then i had a section of marketing with logos and investigation into the protection of IP, packaging ideas etc etc.

having marketing stuff shows you are thinking ahead to the future of your product, that you are thinking about how it is to be sold, giving a more rounded MDP which = MARKS! lol
