For my shop front to be successful and acquire the requirements of customers I have been doing various relevant researches. This research can now be put together and analysed to obtain answers and hopefully a successful shop.

When researching materials i had to think about the costs as well as the practical side. Although the shop hasn't been doing to well the financial side is secure and the owner is willing to invest in the shop front to boost future sales and attract more customers. I researched various materials for the shop. When analysing the materials a had to think about the following questions:

Where will it be used? The shop will be in a high street and therefore will have to be made from materials that can resist bad weather. As I am only making a prototype i will use alternative materials to the ones required for the actual real size product. I will state the alternative materials being used. I researched materials such as foam for my prototype but which I would not use fro the real model as it is not strong enough and also not waterproof.

What shape/form will it be? The shop front will be designed in a unique way and therefore will require specific materials to fit the shape designed. If I needed a bend in the shop or a certain shape cardboard of plastic would be appropriate for my prototype.

Does it have to fit into a particular place? The prototype of the shop front won't be drawn to scale and therefore the measurements would be decided once the design is final. The size of the actual shop front will be dependant on the costs as the materials expense change depending on size.
