Our design fiction project received high praise for its creativity, depth, and strong understanding of speculative design, demonstrating a comprehensive grasp of design fiction principles. The group's work on concept development, website design, and product presentation was thorough and inventive, showcasing a solid foundation in the knowledge applied to this project.

However, there were several challenges and areas that could benefit from refinement.

​

• Issue 1: Naming and Branding

Our original product name, “O’Faker,” aimed to convey the concept of artificial fruit. However, This name was too literal. A more imaginative or subtle name, such as “Fruitful” or “Fruition,” or a catchy slogan like “Better than real fruit” or “Just like real fruit,” could enhance the believability and immersion of the fictional world. Similar to how McDonald's doesn’t label itself as "Junk Food," a more nuanced name could make the concept even more compelling by building a stronger, more nuanced brand identity.​

• Issue 2: Realism in User Feedback and Product Details

The project’s reviews section offered an opportunity to add depth and authenticity. By including less positive reviews or feedback from customers who hadn’t purchased the product many times, we could have portrayed a more balanced and realistic user experience. Additionally, in the product details sections for individual fruits like “Kiwi” and “Banana,” the current ingredient lists erroneously featured pasta-related ingredients. Replacing these with hypothetical, fruit-specific ingredients would improve the project’s realism and adherence to legal standards in ingredient labeling.
