 Research Summary

I have been research for 3 different ideas, and I think I will choose the ballet

will do this in Microsoft word and I also will put some pictures and it will be
colorful. I have to do it simple but modern because my client want it to be like
that. I think the price to make this will be so cheap and the size of the paper will
be not too big, at least people can see it clearly.
 Materials

Microsoft word Microsoft excel

Microsoft word is software Microsoft excel is

that can help us to make a also can make a
poster. And it will be so poster and it will
easy for me to make it help us because
they have a line so
it was easier to
make a table for a
brochure
 Software Research Summary

From my previous research, I decide to choose to make a website. I

choose that because I can make it more modern and can make it
complicated. If I make a poster I have to do it so simple and maybe it will
have only some text with no picture because the paper is too small to
make a SWA news. So, to making a website I will make it on webs
because it was free!!!
Impacts on the environment and the society
Impacts on the environment

If I make a website, I need an electricity in the power station. And I need

Wi-Fi in my house and it will spent a lot of money.

Impacts on the society

If they want to open my website, they have to get laptop and they have to
use an electricity that was so expensive and they also have to use a internet
connection that also expensive. If they don’t have laptop they can buy it but it
spent a lot of money. And they have to go to the factory and it take oil and that
causing pollution and it was bad for our health.

Time It take 8 weeks to work on this design. Although it take a long time to
do this design but this will an interesting design.
Costs No cost for this design, because the software is given or can be use
for free.
Aesthetic This design will be colorful, modern but simple. I will use some of
bright color so it will be interesting and people who see my design
will not feel bored.
Target Audience Anyone can see. This can for children because this website is using
not really hard English word. But, parents, teacher, and staff can also
read this. Because, this is a news to everyone in this school.
Function The function is to make everyone know about what going to happen
in this school.
Purpose To tell the news in the school to everyone.

change everything that I have done before. In the left and right
side of this paper is the information of each events. In the middle

Gantt Chart
Plan
Evaluation of the plan
-Is your plan SMART?
My plan is SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, fits the time frame). It tells you
what the exact material or tool you will be using to do certain steps. Building this product is not
beyond my abilities so it is achievable and realistic to complete it. Also this is planned with some
spare time just in case something goes wrong and have to spend extra time fixing whatever needs
to be fixed or change.

-Does the plan seem to be in logical steps?

My step by step is focused on the safety, design, and Gantt chart is a detailed version of
step by step so if someone want to see my Gantt chart they can easily see it. This stage is just
planning the product that I have design. I start to making the product earlier and finish it faster, so
if something went wrong I will easily catch up and do new one.

-Modifications to the design

The plan I’ve used the modified version of the design so I don’t think I have to make further
modifications to the design, I may change the design as I make it because of time management and
how effective I work every class.

-Concluding the Evaluation of my step by step plan

So in this project I will focused on the design step and the safety.
Create
Document Evidence
I make this product for 2 weeks. I make my product in
webs.com. It cost free to make a website from this link.
They quite hard to understand some of the important tolls
to use. But I can find all things that I want to make for
my product. First step I need to input my information to
make the website. Second step we need to choose which
product from 3 program we want. Third step we have to
write opening word for the HOME slide. Fourth slide we
need to upload some photo. Fifth we need to wait for 5-
30 minutes for the photo to upload perfectly. Sixth we
need to add a caption to each photo. Seventh step we
need to write information about SWA. Seventh step we
just need to add a post for each event that happening in
school.
