design sitaution- Explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem
what is problem ?⭕️ the problem is that the environment is being damaged and we cannot live without the environment. for the last decade climate change increased rapidly and people don't realize that and that is making the environment constantly becoming a bad place for animals plants and especially. if either of plants of animals perish it would effect our food chain and slowly destroy life completely on earth. this is not a small problem rather its a major concern which needs immediate fixing . this would cause global destruction any warning would exponentially help save the plant. till this day we don't know another planet that we could reach and live on so there is no planet b if we loose this planet it would put a mark to the end of humanity and we would all perish.

why do i wish to do it ?⭕️ I have noticed that us humans are not that aware on how bad our environmental situation is right now therefore we are continuing to make the same mistakes and in my opinion making more people realize how bad the environmental situation by showing facts and predictions would make them reduce polluting. i would wish to make some sort of product that would help raise awareness for the environment which would help people stop polluting to help the earth's environment last longer and be a safer place for plants animals and humans. the product needs to be easily available to anyone and should use facts and evidence to convince people to take eco friendly acts.

Research plan
what will i research ? |
how will i gather the information (primary sources) |
how will i gather the information (secondary sources) |
how will i research this information |
when will i do this |
what sorts of awareness campaign methods work best ? |
I will make a survey and give it to various people whether i should make a: - flash animation - stop motion video - photoshopped flyer - application |
x |
i will search for similar campaigns and compare their success to each other then deciding which one is the better option |
January 22nd |
how to how to start a basic animation in flash ? |
ask for advice from experienced adobe flash CS6 users |
i will read articles explaining this process explaining and then asking flkash experts for further advice |
January 22nd |
|
target audience |
i will ask ask people of different ages if they care about the environment or if they know about how bad pollution is right now |
X |
based on the response of the people i would make a judgement on which age groups does my animation need to be targeted towards |
January 24th |
video sharing websites |
i will ask content creators what are the most famous video sharing websites and then compare which would suit me better |
X |
i will choose between dailymotion and youtube but i would choose youtube as if more widespread and used more around the world |

Design Brief
after thorough researching what problems are there in our environment and how I could form responses to it i found many possible outcomes therefore part of my research i did a survey which asked whether i should make a flash animation, stop motion video, photoshopped flyer or an application. as you could see in the results below in the ( Survey - and its responses ) section, the majority of responses favoured a flash animation and the second best pick was stop motion video which still had almost half the votes that the flash animation and the others were all in the low 10% which mad them in significant but the others section had 2 response which both were an imovie video and i can see why its a good idea for my topic but i am more relaxed using flash and in my opinion i get to portray more ideas through animation. since the survey helped me decide flash was my aim i researched about simple basics of using flash like changing the colour of the background (stage) and drawing using the pencil tool and filling shapes with the fill tool. this helped me get used to flash again as i forget some of the basics of using such program. I then proceeded to identify what my target audience would be and considering that I asked many people how much do they pollute usually only teenagers and adults could give a proper answer and that makes total sense as children don't know what is pollution unless their parents or their elderly. targeting adults and teenagers will help raise awareness for the whole community as we can't argue that parents best guide their children and concentrating on helping them do that is a good way. this also spawned the idea of using children in my animation to make adults emphasize and relate to their own children. then finally I need to share this animation in the form of a video and what better place to share a video than the internet where a lot of people use it and it would be easy to gain attention through it but then again I had to choose which sharing website or video sharing website should I upload my video on, according to my researchers most content creators use Youtube as it is easy it upload and manage follow by Dailymotion in second place but was far away and was very hard to manage and use and most of all site activity has been very low in the recent years.
after interpreting my research I came up to an conclusion on what I aim my product to be and how would I achieve it. as I mentioned earlier I am aiming to create a product that would help spread awareness on pollution and its negative impacts which would relate to teens and adults lives hoping that they would take an action against pollution. I will be doing this by creating a flash animation which involves daily lives of kids and how are we ruining it by pollution basically symbolizing that we are destroying our own future.
