P1 (Unit 43)

Animation/Transitions -Animations are the moving types of images which are also called GIFS. They can be used to catch audience's attention or they can even give a certain important piece of information. They can be useful for the media department since media consists of animations and graphic images. The purpose of animations is to entertain and grab people's attention and they can also show an important piece of information. They can be used both on MACS and PCs and they can be both created on them as well. They can be advertised mostly on web-pages but they can also be found on digital posters and computer games. Transitions are mainly used to entertain and make the presentation look more interesting, they don't have a specific and important purpose.

Text - Text is mainly the source of information that is essential to be put in since images won't be enough to explain something to people. It's purpose is to present information. Text can be used anywhere on the web-pages, posters, presentations, video games..etc. The most useful things about the text is the person can make their information stand out as more as possible. Text is one of the ways to grab audience's attention because you can change the font, colors and the sizes of the text. It can be used on any platform since text is needed pretty much everywhere. This is going to help me a lot with my department because that way I can give a lot of information about the department and it's main features. 

Navigation -Navigation is the way of how you navigate around a web-site. This is very important since the website creator would have to make their website as easier to navigate around in as possible. There are lots of things that are linked with navigation. Hyperlinks, images and flash buttons helpful in this case because they will help to navigate around a certain area. This is going to be useful for my project since I am going to make my own draft of the website and I will design pages that are going to link to specific areas and give me certain information about the department. Navigation again can be used on any platform and anywhere since it's part of the Internet and websites. 

Logo/Graphics - Logos and graphics are also the types of images that can be used in order to represent some sort of information or even the name of the group/company or the name of the department. The media department would use those to represent their name in a graphic logo. The aim of the logos are to catch the viewer's attention and to get the interested in the department. Logos can also be used anywhere on the websites, presentations or posters. 

Images - Images are also very important and they can be used to illustrate pictures of the department or things to do with the department and information. This can be used as entertainment and they can present some examples of work of the Media department by the the students. 

Videos - For the Media department, videos would be ideal to use on the website since it is also one of the moving images, information sources. I can film a lot of things that are to do with media and then use it to represent the department and to show people the exact things that students do on this subject.

Sounds/Audio- Sounds and audio is very important since it helps people to navigate around the website. If people have some sight problems, then they can hear the audio. This will be mostly helpful for the Music department since it can play out certain songs and pieces of work that has been created by someone. 

Audience/purpose- The main audience for the Media Department would be aimed at the students that haven't worked with this subject and by going on the website that I will be creating, they will be able to get all the information they want about the department and the things that are included with it. The students that have never experienced this subject would now be able to get a slight grasp of it by looking at all the information that is given and they can make their own conclusions from there.

Those are the screenshots of how I created a query. I went to create, query design, selected the table that I wanted to append the query to, clicked add then close. After I have chosen all the fields that I want to show up in the table, I had to append my query by clicking append to. I had to click the table that I wanted all the information to go to, then click run. I then had to click yes on a few more tables that popped up to confirm that I wanted to append to the table and then I had to save my query.

The functionality type	Expected outcome	Actual outcome
Validation	All the validation rules that has been set are supposed to work when the fields are filled in.	Everything worked
Error capture	Error capture is making the database able to capture the errors that may happen and it will stop any progress in the database.	The database is able to capture errors without problems.
Error messages	You put a special error message to let the person know of a certain error if the fields in the table aren’t fully filled in. The error message could say ‘Please fill in all the fields’. Also, when you try to put an age limitation and someone puts an age below what you can have, you have an error message popping up saying ‘sorry too young’.	My error messages are fully working when the fields aren’t fully filled in or the age is below of what it actually has to be.
Successful entry	When you register a new member and it successfully appears on the table of all members.	Works completely fine and all the entries are successful.
Manipulation of normal data	Using the append queries to move data around the database in to the right place.	Everything works with my database as I have created queries and appended them in to the right places.
