The current situation/problem:
There is a large percentage of the population who are over weight because of the unhealthily things they consume, many of them do not understand the damage they are doing to their health. This may result in a shorter life for a large amount of the population.

Research:

Junk food doesn't contain the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. As a result, you may feel chronically fatigued and lack the energy you need to complete daily tasks. The high levels of sugar in junk food puts your metabolism under stress; when you eat refined sugar, your pancreas secretes high amounts of insulin to prevent a dangerous spike in blood sugar levels. Because fast food and junk food don't contain adequate amounts of protein and good carbohydrates, your blood sugar levels will drop suddenly after eating, leaving you feeling grumpy, fatigued and craving sugar. Junk food contains large amounts of fat, and as fat accumulates in your body, you'll gain weight and could become obese. The more weight you gain, the more you'll be at risk for serious chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. You could even have a heart attack. The high levels of fat and sodium in junk food can cause high blood pressure or hypertension. Excessive dietary sodium can also have a negative effect on renal function, even leading to kidney disease. In the short term, high levels of dietary fat lead to poor cognitive performance. You'll feel tired and have trouble concentrating because your body might not be getting enough oxygen. The high levels of fat and sodium in junk food and fast food can contribute to heart disease by raising blood cholesterol levels and contributing to arterial plaque build up. The high levels of trans fatty acids found in many junk foods and fast foods can lead to fatty liver deposits, which, over time, can cause liver dysfunction and disease. Over time, the high levels of sugar and simple carbohydrates in junk food can lead to type 2 diabetes. This occurs because eating too much sugar puts your metabolism under stress; when you eat a lot of refined white sugar and simple carbohydrates, your body has to pump up insulin production to prevent a dangerous spike in blood sugar levels. Because junk food doesn't contain the protein or complex carbohydrates that your body needs to maintain consistent blood sugar levels, your blood sugar levels will drop suddenly soon after eating. You'll crave sugar and likely end up eating more junk food. Over time, this stress damages your body's ability to use the insulin secreted by your pancreas. A healthy diet can help maintain your body's insulin sensitivity. Even in the short term, eating too much junk food can make you feel really uncomfortable. It can lead to mood swings and constipation, and lower your energy levels so that you lack interest in the exercise you need to burn off those extra calories.
 * Fast food nutrition** should make up a minimal part of a healthy diet. Fast foods and junk foods are high in fat, sodium and sugar, which can lead to obesity and a range of attendant health problems, including diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. Here are the facts about how excessive junk food consumption affects your body.
 * Junk Food Affects Your Energy Levels**
 * Junk Food Contributes to Poor Performance and Obesity**
 * Junk Food Can Damage Your Liver and Your Heart**
 * Junk Food Can Lead to Diabetes**

Junk food contains to much sugar to much salt. This can negatively affect your health both in the short term and the long term.junk food can lead to stomach fat and obesity. These are the long term and short term effects of junk food:

Lack of energy This is known as a short-term adverse effect resulting from eating junk foods. As junk foods don't provide you with essential nutrients, even though they can be very much sufficing, you feel weakened. Consuming deficient nutrients could be as a supplement.

Poor concentration: This is another result of junk food habit. These are traced to affect in immediate and medium term periods. When you have a sumptuous junk meal rich in oil you feel drowsy and fail to concentrate. Over sustained periods of junk food eating, blood circulation drops due to fat accumulation. Lack of vital oxygen, nutrients and proteins particularly can stale your grey (brain) cells temporarily.

Heart Diseases: Junk food diet is a major cause of heart diseases. Myocardial infarction (a sever heart failure) is due to plaque formation in arteries which demands heart to put in extra effort to pump blood on the down stream. On the up stream, there is lack of returning blood to heart. This causes two damages to heart - heart fatigues by the continuous extra effort it makes and it suffers oxygen supply. The onset and remedy both take a long time and a great determination to win.

High Cholesterol Apart from forming plaques and constricting arteries, cholesterol also affects liver where it is metabolized. High cholesterol from junk food and diet strains liver damaging it eventually. This is a long term effect.

Design 1
===this design is adequate to achieve to solve my problem but only just. It just jumps to a stick man at a table tasting food then it has the character make the obvious wrong decision by eating the unhealthy, then it jumps to 50 years in the future. This does not only look nonprofessional but it is also hard to follow. the other problem is that it only shows the character eat the unhealthy food once and this is not actually really damaging to your health. As you can see this design is not good enough to make a flash animation on, and although i did really like the death scene in the rocking chair, i will not be using this design.===

Design 2
this design has a lot of good points the first being that it sufficiently solves the problem the second is that unlike the previous one it is A: set in the school environment and B: is has an actual plot that is possible to follow. it also shows the character eating the unhealthy food more than once it has the correct amount of scenes and it can easily be made into an animation. There are a couple things that could be improved for example the death scene is completely random short and overall unrealistic. Although there are aspects to be improved the pros outweigh the cons so i will be using this design but in my create i will be using the rocking chair death scene from the previous design.

= CREATE = media type="file" key="JamesNitzITCreateFlashAnimeUnit48JCR.swf" width="360" height="270" I did not have the fat stick man get up from the rocking chair because it was impossible to move it. I also did not use a picture of the rocking chair because of technical difficulties, the background would not remove so there was no was to put the front armrest on without it looking incredibly silly.

= EVALUATE = My animation was overall petty good even though it was fairly simple. It clearly showed the bad decision he made, that was eating an excessive amount of unhealthy food. Although the consequences were a little exaggerated they were clearly there. there are a couple problems with my create the largest one was probably that it was not clear that he died from eating unhealthy food, some of the other ones were more subtle mistakes most of these were with the actual animating of it, there were several glitches throughout the animation for example the tuck shop moving in the second munch scene or the unhealthy food moving when he was eating. The last problems were the proportions, i should have made some parts shorter and others longer, for example my walking scene was too long. overall my animation was adequate, it followed all of design specifications, the animation was way more than 150 frames. Five of the six scenes were in school. There was plenty of writing. The stick man clearly mad the wrong decision by choosing to eat the unhealthy food, the consequences were extremely obvious. The stick man was the main character in the animation and the animation followed my chosen design exactly except for the death scene, and that is because i chose to use the death scene from the my first design. My animation solved the problem well.

I think my questionnaire was a very good way to test my product it included all the design specifications that the person could evaluate just by seeing the animation and the question did not have yes/no answers so the people could give more input if they felt it was needed.

I think that i didn't do to badly with he rest of the design cycle. In the investigate stage my problem could have been explained better but my research was both detailed and relevant. My design brief i think described what i would do very well. I think i added enough things to my design specifications but my tests although i liked the questionnaire my tests still lacked some of the things needed, i.e. there was nothing to test the number of frames. My design was my week point it did not have three designs and because i was late uploading it, due to internet problems i did not have anyone to test them, but my designs followed the requirements and my justification was good. My plan was very elaborate and i had it in two different forms, a grant chart and a flowchart. My create met all my design specifications and solved the problem. overall my design cycle process was not perfect but it was good.
