Target Observation

              Water Slide, Target. Personal photograph by author. 2016.

The picture above is of an inflatable water slide. The water slide is made for young kids. It is a way for the kids to have the fun of a water park without actually going to the water park. The water slide itself has many different parts to it. All of these parts serve a different purpose. There are two slides to accommodate many kids, as well as a rock-climbing wall that serves as a way to get to the top of the slide. The slide is inflatable so it is very easy to set up and it is also very easy to take down. Since it can be deflated, the slide is also easy to store because it does not take up a lot of space. It is also very safe for children to play on because the inflatable is soft and very forgiving if a child were to fall. The joy this water slide brings kids is portrayed on the front of the box. When parents see the joy on the kids' faces on the box, they want to buy it for their kids so they will have the same joy as shown on the box.

Picture Frame, Target. Personal photograph by author. 2016.

The picture above is of is of a picture frame. The picture frame is designed to look like the window pane off of an old house. The design of this picture frame really stood out of me. I thought it was very unique compared to a typical picture frame. The frame is made with real wood and four glass panes. This item will really attract customers who are furnishing a home or a room. The frame can hold up to four photos. It serves as a way for the consumer to share their memories with everyone in the room. The photos will always serve as a way to relive memories and it is a good discussion point for people who visit the home. Photo frames are found in pretty much every house, but this photo frame has such a unique design that it stand out from the rest.

They are also very low to the ground. The target consumer for the bean bag chairs is teenagers and college students. They are made for comfort and it is a way to furnish a room. The whole purpose behind the bean bag chair is comfort. From the inside with the fluffy pillow-like filling, to the soft shag-like outside, the bean bag chair is the ultimate seat of comfort.

Crib, Target. Personal photograph by author. 2016.

The photo above is of a crib. I chose to discuss the design of the play pen because it has changed since I was a baby. The play pen is designed to be multifunctional. It has many features. The actual play pen is a soft and comfortable that a baby can play in and relax. The mobile on top is used to calm the baby down and help it fall asleep for nap time. The top of the play pen also functions as a changing table. This is a very appealing feature to parents because it is convenient to have it so close to their child. It also saves space because the parents do not need a changing table since it already comes with the play pen. This multifunctional play pen is perfect for a family with limited space. The design of this play pen is both multifunctional and purposeful.
