Design brief and Design Specification

Formulate a Design Specification

11. What are the requirements for this assignment? You have to think a lot you have to be on top of everything like on track because then you will get lost You have to think a lot and you have to make sure that everything goes and it fits to the beat or else it will sound all weird and funny.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment? That you cant mix it up and use the others because it has to be on one topic so that is kinda hard but you will get there

13. How will you "test" your project? I will test it with the 6 graders and maybe the people in my family or the classmates and see what i can improve or what am i doing right and thats how i will test it.

Investigate reflection

I would rate myself a 3 because i am not done with my project of the design cycle. I already know what im doing i just need to finish it and keep doing what im doing and i think im doing a pretty good job on keeping everything orgainzed. I think i do need to work a little faster because i think im a little behind but im almost done with the things i need to be done with. i want to get everything done already the thing im having trouble wit is coming up with the lyrics for the song like to put them and make it sound good not all lame and stuff.

podcast

The podcast in the music is great because i gave it a five. I like the beat of the song it is really cool so i had to give it the highest rate.I like the font of the letters i love the color that it has it just pops out and catches your eyes right away. I like the color neon because it looks cool like that and the way they put the words it just all fits together but i think that the words should have been bigger because it likes you need to do it bigger but the spell check was all good so i gave them a 3 for the lyrics and the color i gave a 5 for the font i gave a 3 because the color was bight and it kinda hurt my eyes. 

I like the lyrics because it is really cool i get everything that its says and its also a song so its really cool not all yeah but i love it.

For the music i gave it a 5 because i really like it it was really good i love to hear it again and again. It was really great i loved the beat everything was good. I gave a font a 4 because i think they should have mixed up the colors a little bit more instead of one color but i like the idea and you can see the font clearly but you just needed to put more color into it and just make it colorful. I gave a 5 to the color because on the paper because they used the color purple and i love the color purple and it just wasn't just all black or white it had some color into so i really like the color and thats why i gave it a five because it wasn't just plain colors and yeah so liked it. I gave them a 4 in the lyrics because it was good it wasn't all that great but it wasn't all lame i mostly understood the words and it was really good i like the way they put it in the words that they did. I gave them of total of a 18 because mostly everything was perfect and yeah i really like everything.
