Function
Aesthetic (color, shape, form texture)
Environment (Impact)
Target Market
Construction techniques

Still looking for questions that would help you analyze products? Here are some questions that might help...

Is the design safe?
What materials have been used? What materials will be the most suitable? What is the overall size?
How would the product be mass-produced? On a production line? What will the cost of ‘labor’ be?
Is this the best shape for the solution?
Are the color schemes most appropriate?
Are the functions of the product going to solve the problem?
What special features are needed or used in this design?
What ‘Ergonomic’ factors need to be taken into account?
What equipment, machinery and/or software will be needed for manufacture?
