WEB DESIGN  By : Tisa Mushani   INVESTIGATION   Identify the Problem

We don't know a lot about how IT needs have changed over the years.
Explain the Problem We have never attempted to make a website or ever learned how to make one so it will be hard to do. We have never researched or learned about how IT needs changed over the years.

Research and Analysis

Design Brief My website will answer the unit question. Product Specification My product must: Test Plan I will ask a few people to check my website and to tell me how i did. Are the links working? Are the links going to the right place? Are the pictures relevant? Is the text color readable? Are the pages to bright? Are the pages to dull? Are there any spelling mistakes? Is page one only about how students today are using different types of storage devices? Is page two only about online storage?Is page three only about how mouses have changed?Is page four only about how keyboards have and will change? Is page five about how output devices have changed? Is my free choice page related to the unit question. Have I put at least one picture on every page? Have I put a heading on every page? Have I put the unit question on every page? Does my work make any sense? Have I followed the design criteria? DESIGN  Pictures of my designs Homepage designs Analysis of my designs I have three homepages to choose from. All of them except for the second have a menu to go to the other pages of my website. The first and third designs have the title at the top. The second has the title in the middle of the page. All the pages have more than two pictures. The writing is clear. The first and third design have cartoon characters with speech bubbles telling information. The second design has arrows pointing to all the different information. All my designs except for the second answer my design brief. I used basic colors on my designs so that they are readable. My background color is plain white so it will be even easier to read the text. The pictures are relevant. Justification for chosen design  I chose the first plan for my homepage because I think it is more organized than the second and easier to make then the third. I like how it is planned out and where everything is set up. I think the colors go well together and you can see all the text clearly. Things aren't mashed together like the second design which would be hard to read and I would have to put only a little information if I chose it. PLAN
 * 1) Design a 5 page website. Before you start designing make sure you run it by the teacher first.
 * 2) 1 page must be about how students today are using different types of storage devices
 * 3) 1 page must be about online storage
 * 4) 1 page must be about how mouses have changed
 * 5) 1 page must be about how keyboards have and will change
 * 6) 1 page must be about how output devices have changed
 * 7) 1 page can be on whatever you want but it must related to the unit question
 * 8) Show how the web page will look. change around the navigational bar, the location of your picture, add more pictures to each page, move the information around to show different designs. Remember two designs are better than one. Three designs are better two. Make sure you think about navigation and the content of each page in your design. For content a heading will be enough. Remember to look at the design criteria in order to get maximum marks

CREATE  Final Product Changes made to the original Design  I didn't make many changes in the final product. I didn't put the pages in the order I had first chosen. Changes made to the original Plan  I was behind alot on the create so I just forgot the plan and did it in whatever order. EVALUATE  Results of tests Are the links working? Yes Are the links going to the right place? Yes Are the pictures relevant? Yes Is the text color readable? Yes Are the pages too bright? No Are the pages too dull? No Are there any spelling mistakes? Yes Is page one only about how students today are using different types of storage devices? No Is page two only about online storage? No Is page three only about how mouses have changed? No Is page four only about how keyboards have and will change? Yes Is page five about how output devices have changed? No Is my free choice page related to the unit question. Yes Have I put at least one picture on every page? Yes Have I put a heading on every page? Yes Have I put the unit question on every page? No Does my work make any sense? Yes Have I followed the design criteria? Yes Recommendations for improvement I would keep track of my time and try to do everything faster but also efficiently. I would try not to be behind and keep up with deadlines. One thing that I should have done was doing the research before we started with the create. Researching is really hard when you only have a little time to do it, and finding the right information and putting it in your own words is harder.

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle I think I did well on the on the first things on the design cycle but on the create i'm not so sure. I found the create very challenging, with the researching part and the actual making of the website. I made a big mistake and forgot to put a link on the online storage page but I fixed it. I found a few spelling and grammar mistakes. I did most of the things I wrote I would do in my test plan. I tried to keep it colorful and simple to understand for all ages. I think the pictures are relevant to the topic, I didn't put in a picture that had no connection to the topic of the page. I have many empty spaces on my pages that I couldn't put things onto because I had nothing to put on.
