Contemporary Design Question Update

We were tasked with creating a Contemporary Design Question Proposal, I decided too look at;

How will the Economy, Consumer Psychology & Global Development affect Market Pull & Technological Push?

However after a talk with my tutor and feedback on the question I proposed it became evident that the essay question didn't reflect what I wanted too look at. And it wasn't clear that it's a design based question.

So I've decided to revise my Question too be;

How will Consumer Psychology & The Economy affect Contemporary Product Design?

I will include aspects from the other essay that I proposed such as Market Pull and Technological push however I will use those too inform how Product Design will change. This will differ from my original proposal which leant towards market change. This is a much more focused question which adheres too the brief much more. I think this question better reflects what I wanted too research, it's a broad topic so i'll have to break it down quite heavily. The evidence of this break down will be able to be seen on the blog.
