 * THE CURRENT SITUATION **
 * A double bed
 * Two side tables
 * A dressing table
 * My alarm clock
 * 2 closets
 * 2 tables for me and my cousin
 * 2 bedside lamps
 * A small cupboard for games
 * THE CURRENT PROBLEMS WITH MY ROOM **
 * Small space so that it is hard to move around my room
 * There is no lock on the door which allows siblings to come in at any time
 * I also dont have my own TV and Game station which means i cant wake up early on weakends to watch TV or play Nintendo wii
 * It can be boring sometimes because i dont have a game console or tv in my room
 * My room is very dull because the paint is white
 * Since there is no lock in my room my siblings gain access to all of my stuff
 * My bed is very hard so it is hard to relax when i am exhausted
 * Its hard to sleep at night because the fan is too noisy
 * I dont have a bathroom in my room so when i wake up one of my family members is using it
 * SITES **
 * All these problems mean **
 * It can become messy when my friends or some guests come over

The Design Brief
Now that i have all the ideas for my room from the sites above i will use the information and pictures to build my design specification

The Design Specification
I will triple the size of my bedroom so that i will have space to do a lot of different types of activities in my room I will add a security system with face recognition so that my siblings wont have a chance of intruding into my privacy I will get a gaming system or a gaming corner in my room to pass my time I will have a 3D cinema sized TV in my room so that it will be hard to get bored I will have a massaging recliner next to my TV so that i can watch TV very comfortably I will have a water bed instead of a regular bed so that sleeping can be easier I will replace my fan with 2 or 3 AC,s so that there is absolute peace when i try to go to sleep In my room I will add a big bathroom with a 10 meter bath and a Jacuzzi In my bathroom the toilets will have seat warmers I will have a digital live wallpaper for the background instead of a plain old boring one. This will be cool because the background could be moving, for example an aquarium or a race I will have a personal snack bar and a butler so that i don't have to get out of my room and go to the kitchen to get food I will have a smart room system so that when i am playing a game i could tell the smart system to turn it on automatically, or before sleeping instead of a manual alarm clock i could tell the smart system to set an alarm for 6am on Tuesday Finally my massaging recliner could move around using a joystick so it can come to me and so i dont have to walk everywhere

__Tests__
For my first test i will check to see that my room has all of the items that are in my design brief are in my actual room Secondly i will make sure that the money was well spent and all of the problems in my old bedroom are solved My final test will be inviting my friends over to my room and then i will get my opinion on how my room is

[[image:bmisclass2010/Ahsen Rauf Unit 1 Design 1.jpg width="379" height="401"]]
In design 1 i have maximised space by making everything big, such as the bed the bathroom and have added much more things to my room There is really no free space in the room as all of the objects take up most of the room This design is good but takes up too much room. the big items are really big and the small items get smaller. for example the water bed is unrealisticly huge! 6/10
 * PROs**
 * CONs**
 * Verdict**
 * My Score**

[[image:bmisclass2010/Ahsen Rauf Unit 1 Design2.jpg]]
In design 2 i have covered all the basics for while making it cosy and comfortable I could still add some more objects so im not short at any time for anything This design is really good because i have covered all of the design specifications and i could still have some little activities in my room 8.5/10 I think design 2 is much better than design 1 because i cant find any real problems in design 2 like i have found in design 1

List of methods for showing the plan

 * I could use a flow chart
 * I could also make a brainstorm
 * I could make a Gannt Chart
 * Create a mind map

My Flowchart My Gantt Chart

CREATE BAthroom

Ø I added the DVD player

Ø I made a shower and a bath tub

Study Room

Ø In my study room i have a working table like in my design but i also added a tv, couches and a computer workbench

Bedroom

Ø In my bedroom, I put a fish tank to make it look fuller.

Ø I added a more side tables and an alarm clock

Ø I made a dressing tqble to make it look like a room

Lounge

Ø I added the lounge which is not in my design

Ø I have a coffee table with couches and a huge tv

Ø I put a carpet underneath everything and added a fireplace to take away the sense of the room being empty

Relax Room

Ø I completely wiped this room out and mixed it with the bathroom

Ø There is no sauna or jacuzzi because there wasnt an option

Kitchen I have added all the normal kitchen appliances other than a simple snack bar Garage I added a garage with 2 cars to take up the space of the deleted relax room Outside i have added a carpet and in green colour to make it look like grass so that there would be an area for me to have fun. next to the grass is an airplane.

EVALUATE
I think my final product was pretty good but didn’t quite follow the design specification or my plan because I had added a lot of advanced things to my design specification. For example I wasn’t able to put a sauna, Jacuzzi, gaming systems or a waterbed. I could have done this design more according to my design specification. I got most of the basic ideas into my final product with adding more items such as different cars, Fish tank and a fireplace. In my design I added one big work table filled with book and a computer. In my final product I made a whole study room with a book cupboard and a computer table. Next time i would try to make some simpler designs so that i wont be missing anything. i could also try to do more improvisation.
