=__ Investigation Stage: __=

Identifying the Problem: A phone company has asked me to create a phone design which will appeal to 13-15 year old girls. The visual features of the phone should be taken to consideration as it is very important. A survey given to 13-18 year old girls (for current phones) A survey given to 13-18 year old girls (for new phones)

The first survey will show what girls between 13-15 girls like and dislike about their phones. The second survey will show what girls would like from new phones.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">According to the table above, Design 1 has met most of the required design specifications. this is one of the reasons why i chose this design. Also this design is easy to create in GIMP.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Above is a screenshot which I took while creating my phone design. As you can see, I have two layers in which one is an oval outline of the phone (which is made on paint) and one is a layer for the buttons. One mistake I made is that I did not put the keyboard in a different layer. if I had done that, i could make any adjustments on the keyboard without touching the phone outline.

__**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Evaluation: **__



<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">From this survey answered by Esther Abu, i can say that my final product did not meet my design specification in having a design on the back.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">To improve my investigation stage, I could have done more research on what people would like on their new phones, also I could have done research on how successful phone companies design latest phones. this could have made my design specification more detailed.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">To improve my design stage, I could have created another design so I could have a wider choice to chose a final design. Also, I could have annotated all my designs in detail. This would have made it easier to mark it against the design specification. I also should have justified my chosen design more in depth.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">To improve my design stage, I could have used my design specification so my final product would be successful. Also, I could have added more detail on my process of making the final product. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">
