How can computers predict how we are changing? by: Eamonn Fitzgerald  INVESTIGATION   Identify the Problem

computers can predict how we are changing but are they really accurate about this. it is not definite how people will change as they grow older.

Explain the Problem

the problem is that people think that computers can predict how we are changing but it is not a guarantee of what we will look like as we grow up.
Research and Analysis there are many online aging sites such as age-me.com and in20years.com. we do not know if any of these sites are reliable.

i have learned many things about gimp during the skills exercises and one thing that i have learned is that gimp is a good way to be creative. it is a good way to be creative because it has lots of tools that you can use to make a picture.

Design Brief we have to make a collage about our life from a baby to 20 years older than we are now. Product Specification My product must: be 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels have five different pictures of myself aging from a baby to 12 years old have one picture of me now have 8 pictures of me aging from 15 to 80 years old have each picture on a separate layer have each layer named have my name on the collage on a separate layer be flattened when finished be saved as a jpeg file less than 500kb in size

Test Plan I will check if it is 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels. I will see if it has five pictures of me from a baby to 12 years old. I will see that it has a picture of me now. I will see that it has pictures of me from 15 to 80 years old. I will see that it has each picture on a separate layer. I will check that it has each layer named. I will make sure it has my name on a separate layer. I will check that it is flattened when i finish. I will save it as a jpeg file less than 500 KB.

DESIGN  Pictures of my designs made to the original Design

Changes made to the original Plan EVALUATE  Results of tests  the results of my tests where all positive although i think that i could improve a bit. the tests all went right when i checked them afterwards. i should be a bit more creative on my test to yield better results. .

Recommendations for improvement i think that i could have spent a little more time on my project but i had many other assessments to do it was hard to fit in. i could also have payed more attention to instructions and due dates when explained in class.

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle i think i have operated along the design cycle quite well but need to put more time and effort into the work that i do in class and at home.
