**DESIGN CYCLE**

 * I briefly understand the design cycle and how is works. It starts off with investigation whereas you state the unit question and then answer it, it requires research on the internet. After that you state what you will be doing such as an animation, website etc. When you know what you are doing you have to make a set of design specifications so that you know what is required in you creation. To test that you have followed the design specifications you have to make a test plan that you give to fellow students to test your creation. The next thing is the design whereas you make a few thumbnails of ideas that you have for your creation, about 3 designs have to made in order to get a 5 or 6, when done drawing design you have to scan them and then write about them, the last step is to justify which design you will be going with and why. The next thing on the design cycle is the planning stage whereas you make a plan on how you will manage your time, what programs you will be using and make general comments. Next is the creation whereas you make what is required. Next is the evaluation whereas you evaluate each stage and state what changes you made.**

**UNITS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR**

 * During this whole year we have had a total of 4 units. In the first term we set off with the unit Culture the unit question was "How does our culture form an outlook to our environment" we had to pair up with someone and make a website on them, I was paired up with Shane which was easy for my because he told me a lot about himself, I generally don't like making websites that is why i didn't quite enjoy the unit, I think that I would of enjoyed the unit better if we were to do something like a flash animation. The second unit that we did was Phone Design the unit question was "How and why do products and solution over time". In this unit we were required to design a phone that would appeal to a certain audience on Gimp, i really enjoyed this unit because I could apply my creativity to the product and I used my time wisely. The third unit that we did was animation the unit question was "What development and changes do people go through" this was my favorite unit because it gave me a chance to do something I had never done before which was __Stop Motion__ and I really loved the process and putting it together, I got a really good grade that I was happy with. The last unit that we did was "What Can I Do" which gave us the freedom of doing what ever we wanted, I didn't quite enjoyed this unit because I didn't manage my time wisely, it was rushed and I was happy with the end result and my grade. Overall I really enjoyed this year in I.C.T because we did a variety of things and I learnt how to use programs that I didn't even know about, I got the chance to do an animation that I was really proud of.**
