The format of the animation is going to be a structured layout. Thee text and writing is going to use colour and bold fonts. Labeled pictures of different organs are going to be used to make it easier to explain information. The background of the animation is going to be a bright colour so there is a contrast between the font and the text, since the text is darker. The layout of the animation and the quiz is going to have an introduction between 3 friends and then it is going to get into depth to the different body systems.

Cost
|
This quiz and the animation is free and has no payments. I decided to make the quiz and animation free because I want everyone to use my animation in or outside the school. It is also good if the animation and the quiz is free because not everyone is going to pay just for one animation/game.

Customer
|
The main target audience would be the year 5 students from the age group of 9-10. But then my secondary or my alternative audience would be any other students or children who would like to use it for educational purposes. Teachers could also use it to help their students to teach. My other main target customer is Ms. Lubnah.

The purpose it to make the topics more fun and engaging by using different teaching styles like technology and visual representation. This will make their leaning more easier and simple to them to comprehend and understand. It is going to be used through the desktop or a laptop on the software called scratch on the internet.

Manufacturing
|
The animation and quiz will be produced on the laptop and It would take minimum 2 weeks to create the animation and quiz.

Materials
|
I will be using my primary and the secondary research to building and developing my game and quiz. I will be using the scratch software and the internet since it’s the main foundation to create the quiz and animation.

Security
|
I will be officially publishing my quiz and game when I’m finished with them. I will also make sure that the laptops and desktops used to make sure there is no virus or cookies so the laptop/desktop doesn’t crash or freeze.

The features of the game and quiz are very straightforward and simple. The quiz would be multiple choice questions and is going to be timed.

Comparison
The Quiz:
The layout of design 1 is more full and has more text. However, I like this because there is a character that introduces the audience to the game and talks about the general rules and features of the quiz. This will give the audience a brief understanding of types of questions included in the quiz. In design 2 there are no characters or any introduction. It is very straightforward and simple since it has a menu with different options. So, the game is more of a visual. Whereas, design 1 will have an audio when a character speaks or question is asked. The layout of 2 is more spacious and spread out which doesn't really appeal to the eyes. Both designs are going to be multiple choice questions and is going to be timed. The multiple choice questions will make it easier for the students to choose the answer and will also develop their decision making skills when there is a confusing question. The timed question will help the audience to improve their time management skills. I would choose design 1 over 2 because design 1 suits more of the purposes than design 1.
The Animation:
Design 1 has a conversation in the beginning between 3 friends who discuss a little about each topic (digestive system, respiratory system and skeletal system). Then it goes into depth about each topic with diagrams that are labeled and show the process of how the system works. Design 2 has a many and you just click into each topic and it goes into depth with a diagram that is explained. In the conversation of design 1 I will be recording dialogues to play each character. Both of the designs will be using bright background with bold fonts. I decided to use design 1 for my animation because it is more visually engaging than design 1. I also like design 1 better because it it more fun because there is a conversation so it is kind of like a video or like a TV show. TV shows or videos are normally enjoyed and like by kids.
How Am I Going to Test it?
I will be testing it by using different type of gadgets like a phone, laptop, desktop and iPad. This will give me an idea of if I have to stick to one type of gadget. It would also be good if I check if it works in different types of conditions. I would also like to check if it works in different speeds of internet. I will also be writing a clear, descriptive bug report. I will analyze my results thoroughly. I will write tests for codes that isn't covered. Write tests for code that you don't understand. Write tests before you fix a bug. That way, the bug will stay fix.




Your blog is laid put in the correct order. It organized will and it follows the criteria and the examples given on the ICT club website. You completed all the parts of the design specification with quite a lot of detail. Your designs are very neatly drawn but you could add more details to your labels. Your information is very high quality which is good. This shows that you have good understanding of what you’re writing and of what you’re going to create. You could talk more about which design you would choose at the end.
