Reverse Engineering: Mechanicnal Product - Functional Analysis
1. The primary purpose of the item is to cut things.
2. My educated guess on how scissors work is that the blades slice the paper or whatever material you're cutting. The handles and blades simultaneously move apart and together make a cutting motion every time they are closed.
3. The system inputs are the scissors and the material you're cutting. The intended product function is to cut things. The outputs would be the cut up material. I couldn't get the picture to post.
4. The blades, nut, and handle are visible.
5. I can identify everything going on because all components are visible.

Functional Analysis
The purpose of this item is to cut paper and other thin materials. The blades do the cutting, the nut holds it all together and allows it to move, and the handle gives the operator something dull and comfortable to hold on to. The target audience is very broad; many people use scissors, not a specific group.
Visual Analysis
The elements of the scissors are mostly visible in all of the pictures. The handle, blades, and nut are all apparent.

1. What are trends? Why is it important to identify them prior to graphic design?
A trend is something that is popular for that time period. It is important to identify trends because that means you know what your audience likes, which would make your advertisement for appealing.
2. How does human nature play a role in how a product is marketed to a specific demographic group? When marketing in a certain area that is populated by a certain kind of person it is good to know what they are interested in and not interested in, by knowing that it will be much easier to pull your audience in with whatever your trying to sell or advertise.
3. How is a potential audience identified? I think an audience is identified through their ethnic group and their "trends".
4. What must you discover about the target audience prior to graphic design?
Prior to graphic design you must discover the kinds of things this audience is interested in, their age, and know when certain people buy certain things throughout the year.
