Morphological Analysis
After deciding on the four criteria for a bike mounted phone holder, I thought of various products and materials which would each criteria. While brainstorming, I did not think according to how each material would work with a phone case, but rather, I thought of how a material or product would fit one of the four criteria. For example, hands hold phones or, how bee’s wax is water resistant.
