Abstract
A product undergoes through a sequential process from design stage to development. The design elements and utilitarian aspects of the product need to be taken into consideration while developing /designing. As designers thought processes are converted into sketches, one has to have good knowledge on the basic elements of design. Function, aesthetics, ergonomics and usability constitute the broad elements of design. Each design will have sub-parameters, which designers need to prioritize and give more emphasis to those elements in particular. Linkographs will help in identifying the spaces, where a product can be value added to make it innovative. For all the identified design elements along with sub-parameters, linkographs have been plotted by taking a design case study. This approach shall emphasize on value parameters while designing the product and shall serve as a template for reference. Value addition can be evaluated in terms of design elements via the developed linkographs.
