SCAMPER

These are the 49 ideas I generated using the SCAMPER method

Seven Final Sketches

morphological analysis

For my functional requirements, I broke it down to the main features I wanted my product to have.

  1. Holds/carries water: ultimately, my product is a water bottle so it is important that it can hold water
  2. Holds things: I want this to be a multifunctional water bottle, so it is important that it can hold other things
  3. Is adjustable: I want this product to be versatile, so adjustability is an important factor
  4. Has insulating material: I want this to also be a good water bottle, so it needs a coating/material that keeps water hot or cold
  5. Is eco friendly: I think sustainability is very important, so my product can promote sustainability (reducing plastic bottle use), and also be made with eco friendly materials
