Graphics( How can computers predict how we are changing) By : Daniel Rijpma INVESTIGATION Identify the Problem

I have been given the task of using computers to show and predict how I am changing as time progresses. This means that I have to create something which will show what I looked like in the past, what I look like now and how I will look in the future. Expalin the Problem This is a problem because we will have to fit all of our pictures on one gimp page ,which will be hard, as this is most of our class's first time using Gimp.

This is some of the websites I have found that use aging soft wares http://www.ageme.com/

http://www.in20years.com/

and I even found a soft ware called APRIL

http://www.aprilage.com/ This is a picture of my brother in 20 years.

I feel I have gotten more used to Gimp with these three exercises. Before I did these helpful exercises I had no idea whatsoever how to use Gimp but when Mr. Mutasa introduced it to me I thought it was pretty easy. Now I am much better with layers, I know how to use them, move them and create them.

**New Vocabulary** Design Brief I will design and create a collage of pictures of myself which shows the progression of what I look like from the past into the future using the graphics package ** Gimp 2.8.2 **

Product Specification My Collage Must: be 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels have 5 different pictures of myself from a baby to 12 years old have 1 picture of myself now. have 8 pictures of me ranging from 15 to 80 years old. I will use online ageing software to do this. 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 **Accurate:** I will go to people and see if my audience think that me and the predictions are accurate and look the same. **Layers:** I will see if my audience thinks my layers looks organized **not** disorganized. **Correct Format:** I will check if everything I did fits with the directions I have been given. DESIGN Pictures of my designs





Analysis of my designs I feel that my designs reflect well on the design specification and design brief. I think this because they have the information I need and it has given me a good idea of how to make it on Gimp. In my first picture there is two separate sides. One is for pictures of me as a baby up till now, and the other is for pictures of me from fifteen up till eighty. In my second design there is a mind map all about me. There will be different parts of it to show how I develop and grow over the years. In my third picture there is a clock to represent a timeline of me. The background colour will be peach and the clock will be blue. One mistake I made though was the size of these designs. In the design specification it says it needs to be 1200x1200 ( a square) my designs however are A4 which is a rectangle. feel that all my designs are good and I feel it will be a hard choice for me. Justification for chosen My chosen design is Design three. I chose this design over the others because it was the most original idea. To make it on Gimp might become challenging but that is not going to stop me. I also like this design because I think my audience will like that it represents a timeline. That is why I chose my third design.

CREATE Final Product Clock Image from http://images.colourbox.com/thumb_COLOURBOX2650955.jpg

Changes made to the original Design I think I followed my design well, although I did make some changes. One change I made was the clock. On my design I drew a blue clock with with roman numerals on it. On my final product I decided to block out the numbers because they were taking too much space and you wouldn't be able to see the pictures. I also changed the colour scheme because it wasn't easy to get a picture of a blue clock and a peach background. Another thing I changed was that I put my name on it because for my designs I did not look through my product specification as clearly as my final product. Overall I think my final product looked really good. Changes made to the original Plan I think I followed my plan well, although I did make some changes. One change I mad was the websites I used. On my plan I said I would use Age Me to do my aging. For my final product, however, I used [] and http://www.in20years.com/ instead of Age Me because when I was uploading my picture on Age Me I realised that you had to pay for it and my mother I couldn't. I also changed the order of the things I have to do on Gimp because I did not have it home,such as on Thursday I needed to paste all my pictures on my Gimp page. Luckily I had enough time to finish it on Friday. Other than that I followed my plan well.

EVALUATE Results of tests For my first test I asked my audience if they thought my pictures as an adult look good. My feed back was excellent but one person did think my pictures as a thirty and forty years old weren't as good as the others. Another person said that my picture as a seventy year old wasn't as good as the others. I think I had good feed back and improvements for this testto make my picture look even better.

My second test was to see if my audience thinks my layers look organised. My feed back was very good for this test. One person even said that " The layers look really nice because they are in the shape of a clock". I think I had brilliant results for this test.

And my third test I asked my audience if they thought my final product was in the correct format. My audience for this test were my school mates in 7DLU because they would know if it was in the correct format. After I asked them, they had a look at my product and agreed that it was in the correct format.

Overall I think my tests went very well.

Comparing to Design Specification

Comparing to Design Specification My Collage Must: be 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels have 5 different pictures of myself from a baby to 12 years old have 1 picture of myself now. have 8 pictures of me ranging from 15 to 80 years old. I will use online ageing software to do this. 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

My final product is 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels My final product has 5 different pictures from me as a baby to 12 years old My final product has 1 picture of myself (it is in the middle of the page to the right) My final product has 8 pictures of me ranging from 15 to 80 years old. I used an aging software to do this My final product has each layer named as you can see on my layer bar My final product has my name on a separate layer as you can see on my layer bar My final product, unfortunately, was not flattened because I only knew what it meant when Mr. Mutasa was closing Gimp.2.8.2. And my school mates did not notice either because they did not know what it meant either. So the product was not successful My final product was saved on a jpeg file less than 500 kb in size

Recommendations for improvement

In the future I might have changed the way I sorted things out on my plan due to the fact I do not have Gimp .2.8.2, because we have a dongle at home that takes a lot of credit to download with. I also should have looked at the Age Me website before I said I was going to use it because you have to pay to use Age Me. Another thing I would change was that if I could ask Mr. Mutasa about flattening earlier. And I also should have done my designs at home when Mr. Mutasa told me to. I wouldn't change anything else besides that because I think my final creation was very well done and looked really good.

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle I think that I used my design cycle well to execute my final product. I think I did well because when I was making my product I always looked at my plan and design to compare my collage with. I also think, when I was creating my product, that I used the design specification to make sure I was doing everything correctly and efficiently (even though I did not know what flattening was). I also used the design brief a lot because it is an important part of the whole process. Although I did these good things I also did bad things. One bad thing I did was that I did not always check the criteria when I finished a stage. Another thing I could have done was ask my friends if they thought my work as good. That is why I think that I used my design cycle well to execute my final product. Thank you for looking at my work.  Recommendations for improvement
