Apple Inc. has positioned itself in the minds of consumers as cool and innovative by carefully creating and curating a brand identity by highlighting experience, disruption, and contrast. This research explores how Apple has harnessed its brand to convey to consumers that its products are cool and innovative. Based on literature looking at the impacts of product design, branding, and conveying innovation, this visual analysis explores how Apple uses unique design to convey an image of product innovation, and how it conveys product innovation through video advertisements. It looks specifically at some of Apple’s iconic campaigns; 1984, Are You Gonna be My Girl, and This is Your iPhone. Taken as a group, the analysis of these campaigns suggests how Apple conveys a cohesive brand identity and presumptive product innovation and how it denotes innovation with the branding aesthetics in its advertisements. By focusing on its brand image, radical design, and user experience – rather than the technical aspects of its products – Apple has been able to convey innovation and cool to consumers.

To solve the problem of the fuzzy and dynamics of requirement caused by users’ cognitive bias, a dynamic requirement and priority capture method based on user scenarios is proposed, aiming at effectively improving user experience. The method consists of the following steps: Firstly, users with similar characteristics are filtered to form a user cluster, then obtain the user’s product experience in different usage scenarios and acquire preliminary requirements by using service design methods. Secondly, the requirement path model tree will be designed and the requirement path matrix will be constructed through the evaluation of the user cluster. Then the pathfinder algorithm will be used to calculate the required correlation of user clusters and prioritize the requirements. Finally, the direction of the product design will be provided. Taking the design of the intelligent office chair as an example, the effectiveness of the method is verified by evaluating the satisfaction of user experience.
