What is the purpose of evaluating a product? Who will be involved in your evaluation? How will you use the data from your evaluation? What possible changes will you make depending on the results? How will you determine if you have conducted a good evaluation?


     The purpose of evaluating a product is to specifically see what others think about your album
cover. In evaluation you ask others questions about their opinion and whether they would buy the album or  not, and if they were to buy the product why would they. Using the data from your evaluation you can then either make changes to the cover or maybe even use their thoughts as referance to other products that you may want to create. You can determine if you conducted a good evaluation because the questions that you may have asked can lead to conversation. If you have good questions,conversating can help you with different ways that you may want to fix in future products that you want to create.
