using sth as adjective
"But, using “product” as an adjective isn’t perfect either. I’ve had roles where this implies more about how something works, and not so much about how it looks."
I came across this phrase while reading this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2015/11/the-versatile-designer.html
I'd appreciate it if you explained what is meant by "using product as an adjective".
