by following the product specification and when finished with the power point to check my work with the test plan and make sure that it is perfect. The problem is also to make the powerpoint easy to understand. ======

Research and Analysis This is my research: ** The number zero and Arabic numerals ** The Arabic numerals were not actually invented by the Arabs, they were really invented by the Hindus in India. They were invented and developed by the Hindus in 600AD. An interesting fact was that these numbers were written backwards. e.g 123=321 They were only three zeros invented. The first zero invented was by the Babylonians in the 3rd century BC. Then for a long time for someone else to invent the zero. Then finally it was once again invented by the Mayans the fourth century CE. The final independent zero invented was by the Indians. It spread to Cambodia in the 7th century. Then from India to China and then it spread to the Islamic countries. Zero finally reached western Europe in the 12th cent The first people to use a number system were the ancient Mesopotamians, around 3400 BC. The earliest evidence of the numbers ever found were about thirty thousand years ago!!! (This was in my own words) But thanks to: []

What makes a good power point?

• A good power point would have a bold title • A good power point would have clear information • A good power point would have nice pictures • A good power point would be colorful and eye catching • A good power point would have bibliographies

Design Brief My Design will be a power point that shows the way ancient people used to calculate without the hindu arabic system and all about zero and the way life would be without the hindu arabic system and the design will be colorful and eye catching and it should be very important for little kids, year 7s and if possible adults. My product will have a lot of pictures and it will be extremely eye catching and i will try to make sure that my product follows the design specification with the help from my test plan. I want my design to be really good. Product Specification  My Product must have:

DESIGN  Pictures of my designs

Analysis of my designs Design 1: I think that the title is very clear. I forgot to have my name and class written on the design. And i forgot to write the date of when i made the design. I think that it has a nice back round which is purple and i forgot to add a lot of eye catching pictures and i never added important information but i did add the bibliographies although i still think that this is not the best design i have made and i honestly do not think that this is a very good and detailed design. I do not like this design. Design 2: I think that this design is much better than the first design. This design has a clear title and it has my name and my class but like the previous design it does not have the date in which i have made the design. i think that this is an eye catching and colorful design with a lot of pictures. and i think that it has a lot of important and easy to understand information and it has bibliographies. Design 3: This is my favorite design but it still does not follow every single thing in the design specification but it follows most of the design specification. i think that it has a clear title and it has my name and class but like the previous two designs it does not have the date of when i made the design. it has a pretty back round and a lot of eye catching pictures and important yet easy to understand information. and at the end it has the bibliographies. Justification for chosen design this is my favorite design because it is the only design that i have which followed most of the design specifications and it is also one of the neatest designs and the main reason why i like this design is because it is the most easy to understand and the most detailed yet eye catching design from all of my designs. S those were the reason why I think that this is my favorite design. **How it followed the design specification:**

This is my favorite design but it still does not follow every single thing in the design specification but it follows most of the design specification. i think that it has a clear title and it has my name and class but like the previous two designs it does not have the date of when i made the design. it has a pretty back round and a lot of eye catching pictures and important yet easy to understand information. and at the end it has the bibliographies. PLAN First before doing any thing i have log on and go to google chrome and type in http://bmisclass2011.wikispaces.com and go to my Unit 4 and go down to my design specification and my chosen design.

CREATE  Final Product  media type="file" key="fathima aamin nnawaz unit 4 powerpoint arabic numerals and the number zero.swf" width="540" height="405"

Changes made to the original Design I made many changes to my product. The first main changes i made was the back round color and the titles of the slides Instead of only purple as the back round color i had a mix of light purple dark blue and dark purple because i thought it would look a bit more creative and it would look better than just purple and instead of having the second slide titled all about the number zero i had the title as historical facts and the third slide was supposed to be all about Arabic numerals but instead i made it all about the number zero and for the forth slide it was supposed to be life without Arabic numerals but instead it was introduction of zero to Europe and in the fifth slide it was supposed to be historical facts but instead i made it as how did the number zero effect maths and for the sixth slide instead of introduction of zero to Europe i put in all about Arabic numerals and for the seventh slide instead of how math spread i put in the summery and the reason why i made these changes to these slides are because when i was making my designs i thought that you could do all the slides in the order you want to but then when i was making my Creation i realized that it is supposed to be exactly like the Design specification so that is why i had to make all these changes to my original product and the reason why in my design i wrote how math spread instead of how zero effected math was because when i was doing my design i did not understand it properly and another thing i changed to my product was that i said all the transitions will be dissolve but instead i had different transitions to make it much more creative.Another change i made to my product is that instead of the font size 13 i made it different font sizes but the main font size that i used was 32 and the reason that i used this font size was to fill up the slide and make the reader find it easier to read. And those are the changes that i made to my create. Changes made to the original Plan  I did not follow my plan properly. Because when i was doing my plan i planed that i would start my create from the day that the plan was due but then i finished the plan way before the day the plan was due so i had to start my create way before the day planned and so i also finished the create way before the deadline and i was ahead than planned so it was not a big problem because i should only worry if i was behind and another advantage of finishing way before the deadline/day planned is that i get extra time to go through my work and check if they is anything else missing in my product and try to make my product really good and by doing that i can get a better mark than what i would have got if i was behind what was planned.And i was happy that i started earlier because i finished my plan way before the day planned and i am ahead of most people. EVALUATE  Results of tests I followed all my tests and i have done all the things in the tests except for the music because i could not find nice music to upload on my powerpoint presentation.And i also asked a friend to give it a grade from 1 to 10 and she gave me an eight. These are the results of my test: Six people checked it: anything wrong with it || Because it was really good and interesting but because there were 2 no. || It was a very good presentation and it had fantastic information || Because it was a good presentation but you made a few mistakes while you were explaining it to me || Because it was detailed and the background was good || I gave you that grade because i thought the work clear and readable the work was also well organised and you put relevant picture with the information you put. I liked the way you never plagiarized i also like the fact that you power point had good animations, transitions and pictures. The information was great and well presented i really like the way the background wasn't too bright and too dark it made the font readable and it was a great font size and type for you PowerPoint presentation. GOOD JOB AAMINA!!!! || i thought it was really good || nothing it was fantastic || the spelling mistakes but otherwise it was fantastic. || Try to make titles come first on the power point rather than text first || Make the title come first but i don't think you need any changes because the power point was great organised and nice transitions and animations. You had lots of animations and there were really great, You shouldn't change anything on the power point because it was just right. ||

Recommendations for improvement The ways that i think will improve my product in the future are first of all adding some music so that people would really enjoy watching my slide show and another way is by adding a bit more information and make less spelling mistakes. And make the title come before powerpoint text. Those were the changes that i would make to my power point presentation. Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle  I do not think i would have changed anything in the Design cycle i think that it is perfect the way it is. Because i do not think that it would have made so much sense if it was done another way for example if it was Evaluate-Plan-Investigate-Create and then Design it would have made no sense. What i think that should get because i think that i did well in my investigate but i still made many mistakes and i think that it has followed this the most: You have described the problem and selected and analyzed information from some acknowledged sources. You have mentioned testing of your product and stated the design brief. You have listed some design specifications. || it follows this You have made some really good designs and justified your choice of one design by evaluating them against the design specification. || justifying any modifications made. || Have i done any work out of class  I haven't done a lot in my free time because i managed to finish my work in class and make it good but i still needed to do some work in my free time so i did but i cant remember most of it but i can still remember me working on my create on my own time and i remember i worked on my create at home.
