We don't know how to put pictures on gimp and change them.
Explain the Problem

We have to put pictures on gimp and change them. We need to find out how to do this by listening and asking the teacher. We do not know how to do any of this. We have to make a collage showing us from a baby to now and from 15 years to 80.

Research and Analysis

Design Brief I am going to learn how to use gimp properly. I will do this by listening to the teacher for any advice on how to use gimp and also by finding out myself. I am also going to create a collage by following the instructions offered. Product Specification My product must: > 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 explain how you will test your product here (you need a separate test for each Item in your product specification) DESIGN  Pictures of my designs Place your designs here:
 * be easy to follow
 * my collage has to be fun
 * not be too silly
 * be 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels
 * I will ask friends how they think I look when I am older
 * They have to be able to follow my collage easily
 * They should amuse themselves
 * They have to tell me if my collage is too silly

Analysis of my designs explain how each of your designs compares to your product specification and the design brief: The first design is perfectly normal and is easy to follow. Although I should like to make the space even so that some of the are not just close together while others are far apart or even have a wide huge space of their own. And most people have chosen to do the same design or almost the same design. The second design is a bit fancier and not at all what most people chose. It is not too silly and actually quite easy to follow plus the shape is fun too as it is shaped like a candy. The third and last design shaped like a hand and is also unusual. It is not silly and fun plus it is easy to follow. I have got all the pictures I need: 5 pictures from baby to 12 years old, 1 picture from now and 8 pictures ranging from 15-80 years on my designs. Justification for chosen design Identify your chosen design here: I chose the second design the one which is shaped like a candy, because it is the easiest to follow and it is fun plus it is not too silly. I chose this design from all the others, because no one else has it and it is unusual. I is also quite fun. Give reasons why you chose that design from all the others PLAN Place your plan here:

CREATE  Final Product Put your final product here (refer to the instruction as to the form you need to place your product in. picture link or file) Too bad I didn't finish this. Changes made to the original Design explain the things you changed from your original design to the final product and give reasons why you made those changes here I didn't make any changes I just didn't do most of it. Changes made to the original Plan  explain where you did not follow your plan and give reasons why you did not follow the plan here   I didn't do any changes except that I looked in Google for my design. EVALUATE  Results of tests Follow the tests from your test plan and place the results here. My friends and I thought that I looked better when I was older in 20 years with no drug addict than when I was 30 years older with drug addict. I used 1200 pixel by 1200 pixel. I didn't do the baby pictures, but I did everything else. I didn't like it at first, but then after a while when I had most of my pictures except the baby ones I had fun. Recommendations for improvement Suggest ways you could improve the product in future here I have to bring my baby photos in order to do it. I would try and bring my own photos and scan them earlier or if I have them on my flash I would like to put them on my collage design earlier. Then only would I have completed and would have been able to complete my product. Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle  explain what you would have changed in the way you followed the design cycle here I would have liked to have done my product fully so that I could have done more of evaluate and gotten a better grade. I should have planned it all out before.
