 * What can I do? **

How can I contribute to a solution to a problem facing my country?

these are the deadlines i am giving myself for this unit
 * Deadlines: **


 * investigation: 28th of April
 * design: 8th of may
 * plan: 16th of may
 * create: 27th of may
 * evaluate: 31st of may

Investigation:

the problem

the problem is that people in France have very negative stereotypes about gypsies that everyone believes are true. And because everyone has a bad image of them, they are rejected everywhere they go.

My research: Research about gypsies in France:

In France, gypsies are mainly Romanian people that fled their country to come to France. there are about 2 million of them in total in France 400 000 of them have been here for many hundred years, so have the french nationality but still keep the tradition of travelling. of the ones that came more recently in the 1990's, don't have the french nationality But they can't be sent back to their country because it is part of the European union and that would be against the rules. Most of the gypsies that are in France travel around the country because it is their culture to do so. the people in Romania that are of the same ethnic group also travel around their country.

life is hard for gypsies in France because they aren't accepted. that makes education for the children harder, and the dream of a better life can never come true. they are also hurt that people do not accept their culture of travelling all the time and that they are constantly discriminated about their culture and their ways of life. the ones that are illegally in France are brought back to the border of France.

the style of life of gypsies is so different of the one in France that people often have negative stereotypes about them, for example, they are thought to be stealers.


 * what I learned was: **
 * many gypsies have been in France for many years
 * life is hard for them in France because they are often rejected and discriminated


 * gypsy culture: **


 * their style of life:**

Gypsies in France travel all around the country, even though many of them have settled down in a home. for gypsies their community is more important than themselves and they are very close to each other. their family is also very important, so most people have many children. the gypsy children have a big part in their family and are given a lot of independence. gypsies get married very Young, at the age of 18 for boys and the age of 16 for girls. the father is the one who chooses who his child is going to marry. once a women is married, she has to wear a special scarf, called a "diklo".

gypsies often do crafting, make basket weaving, as a job. they can also be circus performants or do dancing on the streets.

gypsies travel around the country because hey like having freedom, and a way for them to be free is to not stay in the same place all the time. when they work, they do not try to become rich, but just try to support their families. they enjoy living simple lives without too much money.


 * traditions and beliefs: **

Now days, most gypsies are catholic. their original religion was shamanism, but gypsies were influenced by french people to become catholic.

// funerals: //

gypsies have very specific traditions for funerals. first of all, for three days and nights the family of the deceased fasts. before the person is buried, cloths are hung around his trailer and people come into the tent that is formed to give a last visit to the deceased. after the person is buried and the funeral ceremonies over, the trailer of the deceased is either sold or burnt. The people that were close to the deceased each keep a small object that belonged to the deceased as a memory. it is said that that action keeps the family together and keeps the deceased soul from haunting people.


 * Arts: **

gypsies are known for dancing and playing music. those are the two main arts that they do. painting is not traditionally something that gypsies do, but now some of them are starting to do it. they play their music and dance during the parties they have.

their dance involves all of the body parts and is very energetic. it is based on other dances like baladi, flamenco, beat, Balkan and other oriental dances. their dance develops the agility, strength, coordination, flexibility, and helps you relax and get rid of stress.

their main musical instruments are violin and guitar, even though they use a lot more depending on the area in Europe. another gypsy instrument is the cimbalom. it is like a metallic xylophone with steel bars, but is much bigger. small beaters are used to hit the bars. this instrument makes a tinkling sound that is very characteristic to gypsy music. double bass is used to support the tunes with its deep sounds. there can be two violins used to make a more "full" melody. it is called the "kontras". accordions re also used. they strengthen the melody and the beat. all of those instruments are played in a very different way than other people. gypsy musicians have their very own way of playing the instruments. for example, a orchestra violinist will play the violin very differently than a gypsy violin player. that gives the whole music a very unique style.


 * what i learned from this research was that:**
 * gypsies are good in music and dancing
 * they have a very specific style of life
 * they have very different traditions and beliefs than other people


 * Website creating programs: **


 * Dreamweaver: **

Dreamweaver is a known and popular program for web design. that would mean that more help on the internet and in books is available. there are also many extensions to the program. the software has existed for a while now, so the programmers have had time to make it good and have nice features. it is also better to use Dreamweaver if you are more used to other adobe programs like Photoshop.

Microsoft expression web 4 is good for web designers that have some experience with a similar program. the navigation in the soft ware is easy, but it is hard to make a product that looks nice. The program contains some templates, but they are very basic. it has a good support for CSS. This program is also good for people that are more used to other Microsoft programs.
 * Microsoft Expression Web 4: **


 * what i learned: **
 * Microsoft expression web 4 is better for experience users and people that are used to Microsoft products
 * Dreamweaver is good for people that are more beginners and that are more used to adobe products

first of all, the website must have good information. it should be well written and complete, or else the reader will have trouble understanding. there should be the sources cited on the website. the website should be organized. there shouldn't be too many links and all the links should lead to somewhere. it should be easy to go from one page to another. that can complicate the use of the website. the pages in the website shouldn't be too long. writing in a website is different that writing an essay, people often just skim through the writing. You should also make sure that there are no spelling or grammar errors, many people are intolerant of that. you shouldn't put in spelling shortcuts like "u" instead of you because it makes the website look unprofessional The domain name should be on subject of what the website is about and should be easy to remember (so it shouldn't be too long), because people often go back to a website when they can remember its name.
 * What makes a good website: **

the best websites are often the simplest ones. the should be only one font for the whole website, and there shouldn't be too many different text colors. it makes the reading hard for the reader. The background shouldn't be (too) colored or be a repeated image. cursors that have images and designs moving around with them are a bad idea, it can irritate the reader. there should be no animations, especially for a serious website. background music is a bad idea, it can annoy the reader and makes the website look unprofessional. if you put tables or borders in, make sure that they are all the same width, it will make the website look more organized. also make sure that the website fits on the screen so that no horizontal scroll bar is needed. also avoid counter of public on the page, it doesn't look very good most of the time.
 * what I learned: **
 * good websites are often simple
 * many colorful images and animations make the website harder to use
 * background music ins't good
 * it is important that there is no horizontal scroll bars
 * all the spelling and grammar should be correct
 * good navigation makes the website easier to use
 * the text color and font should be readable
 * should avoid putting too much information on a page

Design Brief

what I will do to solve the problem will be to make a website that will promote the gypsy culture so that people will become more open-minded and think of gypsies from a different point of view. The website will be aimed to adults and young adults, because they are the ones that think the negative stereotypes. I will use Microsoft expression web 4 to make the website.

Editing specifications:

what i think about this design is that the colors that it contains would make it look too serious, which is not the goal of the website. it should look a bit more happy and less serious because the gypsy culture isn't something so serious. i also think this design is good because the arrangement of the page is very basic and simple, which is an important thing. i also like that there is a page about recent news on what has happened to gypsies in the past years, because it helps show what happens to them and how they are treated in France.

Editing specifications:

for this design, i think that the background color light blue and border color dark blue would look very good together. the problems with those colors is that first of all, blue doesn't represent gypsy culture at all, unlike red or orange might Also because blue is a sad color, and sad colors don't fit with the iea of the website which is to show //good// things about gypsies, so a happy color would be more effective.

Editing specifications:

what i think of this design is that the colors won't be very attractive or joyful. not only would that make the website look boring, but it wouldn't represent the gypsy culture well since gypsies are joyful people. i also think that the idea of putting a navigation bar at the bottom and at the top doesn't look very good or organized. i also think that the text area is small, and that there is too much space used for titles on top of it. i also think that it would be important to have something that talks about their origins, because that helps a lot to understand who they really are.

Editing specifications:

what i like about this design is that it uses the color red, which is good because red is a color that represents gypsies very well. it also makes the website look more alive and happy, which also fits with the idea of gypsy culture. i also think that the area for the text is good because it isn't stopped by anything at the bottom of the page (for example, a navigation bar or pictures), so there is no limit for the text. i also like that the design is extremely simple, which is something important according to my research. the facft that the arts are seperated into different pages is good because the arts is a really big part in gypsy culture, so by putting them into different pages, it limits the amount of information on one page and avoids having some really long pages.
 * **specification** || **Is it done?** ||
 * the spelling and grammar should be correct || yes ||
 * it should be easy to understand what is written || yes ||
 * there should be a small amount of writing on each page || yes ||

**The design I chose was design 4.** i chose that design because it fit all the design specifications. design 2 also fit all the specifications, but the colors in it were to cold, which really didn't represent the gyspy culture. I chose design 4 also because it had some bright, warm colors which really represent the gypsy culture. the other designs alll ahd sad, cold colors that really didn't think with the idea of gypsy culture. design 4 also had a very simple design, unlike design 3 who had a simple design, but not as simple as design 4.

 * ** Program ** || ** What for? ** || ** Why? ** ||
 * micorsoft exression web 4 || to make the actual website design || I chose this one because, according to my research, it is the best one for me to use. ||
 * microsft word || to write up the text that i will put into my website || because it has auto-correct and tells me when i make a mistake (which is very useful for typos). that will make sure that there are no grammar and spelling mistakes in the website. also, it has a better and easier to use font options, and that will make the job easier for me. ||
 * Google images || i will use this search motor to find the images for my website || because it can find easily many different types of images in just a few seconds. that will make it easier for me to find the images that i want for my website. ||
 * Google || to find any extra information needed for my website || because it can find many different website in just a few seconds about what i want to know. ||


 * Steps timeline **


 * Weekend of the 18th:**

On this weekend, I will just make the template. For that, I will open the template that has a top header and a left column. Then, I will choose the background and border color. i will also adjust the size of the page to make it fit the screen.


 * Monday 20:**

During the ICT lesson on this day, I will create all the pages that are needed. There are seven of them:


 * The homepage
 * Page about their style of life
 * Page about their Art (visual only)
 * Page about their dance
 * Page about their music
 * Page about their traditions and beliefs
 * Page about how they are treated in France

I will put the title in for each of the pages, and name them according to that title. This step will be easy to do, but will still take time. That is why I am giving myself a whole lesson to do it.


 * Tuesday 21st:**

In each of the pages I will have created, I will fill in the navigation bar. This is the title for each page, and the links that they will contain (in that order):


 * Homepage
 * 1) Gypsy style of life
 * 2) Gypsy art
 * 3) Gypsy dance
 * 4) Gypsy music
 * 5) Gypsy traditions and beliefs
 * 6) How are gypsies treated in France


 * Gypsy style of life
 * 1) Homepage
 * 2) Gypsy art

 * 1) Homepage
 * 2) Gypsy style of life
 * 3) Gypsy art
 * 4) Gypsy dance
 * 5) Gypsy music
 * 6) How are gypsies treated in France


 * How are gypsies treated in France
 * 1) Homepage
 * 2) Gypsy style of life
 * 3) Gypsy art
 * 4) Gypsy dance
 * 5) Gypsy music
 * 6) Gypsy traditions and beliefs

The links all have to be in that order, that will make it easier for the user to find a certain page. Once I wrote all the links, I will link the pages together. This step will be easy to do, but because there are a lot of pages and therefore many links to create, it will take a long time to make. After that, i will still have time left because it is a double lesson, so I will start writing the text for the pages about traditions and beliefs, all the arts, and style of life.


 * Wednesday 22nd:**

Today, I will continue writing the text for the same pages. These are the main pages, so they will contain more information and will therefore be longer and take more time to write. but i should be finished by the end of the day.


 * Thursday 23rd:**

Today, I will write the text for the page on how they are treated in France and the homepage. The homepage will not take very long to write at all, because it will just be introducing the website. they will both be finished by the end of the day. i will also put the bibliography at the end of the homepage.


 * Weekend of the 25th:**

During the weekend, i will research images on Google images and then put them into the website.The last thing is do the editing. i will put the correct fonts and sizes for each part of the website (see table below), make sure that the titles are centered and that the rest of the text isn't, and do some last spelling and grammar check to be sure that there are no mistakes at all.

Text options:
 * **part of website** || **text size** || **text font** ||
 * main title || 50pt || calibri ||
 * title of page || 25pt || calibri ||
 * main text || 14pt || calibri ||
 * navigation bar || 12pt || calibri ||


 * Evaluation of the plan: **

What wasn't very good in my plan was that some of the steps were very brief, and they didn't explain very well what I will do and how I will do it. Even overall, I don’t always explain //how// I am going to do things, I mainly just explain what I will do. I also think that in the resources part, I didn't explain very well why I chose that resource for each of the resources. Overall, I think that there is a lack of detail for each of the steps.

To make the plan better, I should put some more detail n each of the steps, especially about how I am going to do things. I should also go back and explain exactly why I chose each of those resources.


 * Create: **

I haven't changed anything at all from my original design, everything is exactly how a had planned.

This is my create:


 * Evaluate: **

Test For my test, I made a Survey and asked it to people. this is the Survey:

 * 6) Is the background not too colorful?
 * 7) Are there no repeated images as a background?
 * 8) Is there no background music?
 * 9) Are there no animations?
 * 10) Is the curser simple?

Contents:
 * 1) Does this website promote the good wide of gypsies?
 * 2) Does it talk about their arts?
 * 3) Does it talk about their way of life?
 * 4) Does it talk about their traditions and beliefs?
 * 5) Does it have a page that talks about how they are treated in France?
 * 6) Are there many images?
 * 7) Is there a bibliography?

Editing:
 * 1) Are there any spelling or grammar errors?
 * 2) Are there any spelling shortcuts?
 * 3) Is it easy to understand what is written?
 * 4) Is there a good amount of writing on each page (not too much)?

I aksed this Survey to five people. these are the results that i got in form of graphs:

 * Improvements: **

Some improvements that could be made to this website would be to make the borders less bright. Even though it represents the gypsy culture very well, the red color is too bright, especially on a white background.

Something else that could be improved would be the amount of images that theres I in the websirre. More images would have made it look more interesting. So it would be better if there were about 5 to 6 images on each page.

One last improvement could be to put some more information on certain pages, like the arts and traditions and beliefs pages, because they didn’t give so much information even though many more things could have been said about those subjects.
