Analysis of my designs Justification for chosen design my reason for my chosen design is included in the word document above PLAN Place your plan here

CREATE  Final Product look at student common Changes made to the original Design I didn't really make any changes which are very big but one of them was the way i did the computer on my web site. That is one of the things which wasted my time because what i was trying to do all these lessons is get the computer inserted correctly on to my web site. I had problems with that so i had an alternative way which was to insert a cell to all sides of my website and change the cell color to black which made it look like a computer monitor. i also added a keyboard just to make it look better. If i had more time then i would have defiantly added cooler things from dynamic drive and i would have also added a nice background to my website! Changes made to the original Plan  Due to holidays and days off i had difficulties with my time management and coming in to work on my design! So because i missed 3 days of ict time i asked mr.O for an extension which i did get. This extension was really helpful for me because i managed to get my work finished. But there was also a down side to it which was that we would miss our lesson on Monday which was meant for evaluation. I also changed the times i will come minto the ict lab to do some work because i had a lot of assessments But in the end i think it will all work out! EVALUATE  Results of tests Three people tested my work. Those three people were Dev, Emma and sipho. Here is what they said: Recommendations for improvement So basically from what people have said on my testing they want me to make my website more eye catching and have more designs. so now that i actually look back on it i must say think next time i make a website i need to make it more eye catching with designs and a background. That is what i was trying to do with a lot of my spare time but i did not manage in the end. It was also hard for me to do that because of the software we were using was very hard to use and it was very complicated. I also wanted to add in at least three pictures per page just to make it a tiny bit more eye catching than it is at the moment But again i needed more time to do all those little finishing touches to my website. So basically all i need to do next time is to add more designs into my website. I was also thinking that i should have added in more cooler things from dynamic drive. But i did not have enough time for that. So basically overall all i need to do better next time is work on designs. But for a first time making a website and not a blog i think it went well and at least now i have a bit of experience with how to use Microsoft expression web 4 and how a good website should look like and if next time i am planning to make a website i can refer to this experience and build on to my mistakes!

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle  I think i executed the design cycle pretty well. But it could have been better. What i am trying to do every unit  is get better and better. It is kind of hard for me to make it better each time because at the beginning of the  year i started with pretty high scores. That means that when i am at this point in unit 3 it will be very hard  to keep a 6 as a average and get it every time for every stage in the design cycle. I got a bit stressed because  of the time we had on our creation because we missed 3 lessons and 2 of them were double period lessons. But luckily i asked mr.O for an extension which got me just enough time to finish it off. I wanted to add things  from dynamic drive but i did not have enough time. Another problem i encountered was there was a problem  with wikispaces so mr.O couldn't unlock our pages which made it very difficult for me to work on things at   home because i would use online storage. But the only things which could have made my scores better is if i  did not make foolish mistakes and if the quality of my work is better. That is where i loose marks on! But overal  l i think that i did well and there is always room for improvement. I also found this unit perticulary hard! EXTENSION Online Storage
