__Unit Question: What makes a good phone design?__ = = Were can be all sorts of good designs depending on who is using the phone. Suppose if it’s a business man then he would like to have a phone that can take notes and always be able to check on his business where ever he is. An old man would like to have a phone that can be used easily and that would have big numbers so the person can see it easily. So as we can see there can be a lot of good phone designs that, but it all depends on the user. __Plan__ = = I want my phone to be easy to operate and have many different features that would be useful to any phone operators. So it should have an MP3 format for playing music and a MP4 format for playing movies, I want to make it easy for the operators to put there own files on their phone without any difficulties. It will have a website were you could download many useful apps and you could buy them of easily. Also I want it to be touch screen so that the operators can operater it with ease. So I have made two desighns on paper. I have chosen the right one because I like it how it looks and I like the features that are going to be in it. I'm going to make both of them on Fireworks and Photoshop. I may make any changes through out the project when Im desighning it desighn, that will be described in my evaluation.

__Creation__ These are the twop phone desighns I have decided on photoshop and fireworks.

This phone is made for people that want have multi tasks done, such as listening to music, watching a movie, have internet and etc. It is a phone that can fit into anyones daily lifes and adapt in to it. It is touch screen so it is easy to operate, the screen is made out of special glass so it is very hard for it to crack, the frame of the phone is made out of titanium so it is also very hard top brake. It is very easy to put apps on it because it will have a specific programme for it, it will be cald G-MIX. The phone Is called G-M. The capacity of the phone is 30GB and it can be even bigger. It has many apps downladable from the internet store applicatio0n that I have mentioned. The price would be about 200$ for 30GB. __Evaluation__ I think overall my project has been succesive because I carried out every the way it should have beeen done to a reasonable standard. The stage that I have the best I think was the creation stage becuase I enjoyed exploring the different fetures in both of the programmes and the fact that we could make our own phone. I learned how to use the programmes even better. I think for the next time I should have first started desighning from a paper then into the computer because that might have given more time to think about my phone and all the features it would have had. That is one thing I would have like to do the next time I do it. Other than that I think everything else went pretty well.

__Extension work: Describe the difference between Bitmap based images and Vector based images.__    Bitmap based images do not rely on mathematical formulas to define their certain elements. Instead their are mapped on grids, the grid size depends on the resolution of a picture. Bitmap based images are more suitable photo realistic photos, especially those ones that have very complex colour scales. However they cant be easily scalable because they are mapped on non flexable grid. On the other side Vector based images are defined by mathematicall formulas. This format is suitable for illustrations that require very precious measurment.
