 * The unit Question: **


 * “What Makes A Good Phone Design?” **


 * I feel that there are many attributes that can contribute to making a good phone design. Some of these aspects could be: **


 * **To be able to call and send messages in a simple and efficient way. **
 * **To be able to do office/school work on the move; such as using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc. **
 * **To be able to entertain yourself via music, videos, social networking, gaming etc. **
 * **An easy to understand layout. **
 * **A large memory space. **
 * **A suitable size and shape. **
 * **An easy to use keypad. **
 * **A well organized server/software. **
 * **A cheap price. **
 * **Good quality for paying price. **

My phone designs:
1. my first phone i made in Photoshop (X- Tab) My first phone design had a very simple layout with many different controls and a full touch screen. everything that is needed in a phone, organiser, and even laptop can be found in the "X- Tab". it is literally a phone and tab melded into 1. it only costs $200 which is a great value for money.

2. the second phone was made in fireworks (The Pear E7000) My second phone, the pear e7000 is a very conventional phone, more for teh kind of person that wants a simple phone; one that anyone could use without much trouble and also use a lot without breaking/damaging it. it is more for the user that prefers a phoen that just does what is wanted.

=Evaluation:=

I believe that my second phone is rather unreasonable due to the fact that the layout has a touch screen layout. my first phone is better than my first phone as it has a much more simple layout and i think would be more sophisiticated. the 2nd phone i think would be more reliable when it comes to breaking. in this unit i have learnt only a slight bit of photoshop and fireworks though i have learnt a few things such as learning how to make documents look realistic when it comes to shape and graphics. i have learnt new ways to edit pictures in photoshop and an even simpler way of compressing images. i think i could have used my time more effectively also could have done a more detailed report of my phone and its features. next time i will try to manage my time more effectively whilst also taking care to develop my ideas in a way that makes sense. i will not do a lot of the work in the last minute and will try to express my project in a even more extravagant fashion.
