!!!!!Unit 2!!!!

How can computers predict how we are changing ? INVESTIGATION Identify the Problem I have been given the task of using a 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. = Research =

Explain the Problem

=
The problem is that we cant use gimp and we cant show pictures of us in the future ======

Research and Analysis [|http://www.in20years.com/] http://www.age-me.com/ 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 product 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 i will make sure all the product specifications are on there and they follow my design. Pictures of my designs
 * My Collage Must:

Analysis of my designs They follow the product specification because i checked them before i uploaded. Justification for chosen design i chose the second one because it represents me better. i chose it because it has more details then the other one. PLAN CREATE Final Product Changes made to the original Design i changed the colors and the layout because i wanted it to pop out and look good. Changes made to the original Plan EVALUATE  Results of tests  My final product did follow the product specification but it was not done. I was not done because i think there was not enough time and i never got to finish my work the other reason i am not done because i never planed my work how i was supposed to plan it. My work did not work how it was supposed to that is why i will try to put more effort in my work for it to be finished in time so i can get a good grade. Recommendations for improvement Next time i will use up my time to do more work. I will plan my work more and i will try and to as much as i can to get it done. I think i never got to finish it on time because of my attitudes in class and because I was wasting time playing and messing about every lesson. I will try next time to improve my behaviour because not behaving wastes your time and you don't get to finish you work on time and you distract other people many they don't finish their work as well. Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle what i could have done to follow the design cycle is i could have planed my work and do at list two cycles pear lesson. I will do my best next time by thinking about the task first. When i think about my task i shouldn't think about it too much because it also wastes time. .

 * Stage || Grade || Reason || How can I improve ||
 * Investigation || 3 || I never explained things well and i did not do it right || I will read the instructions better ||
 * Design || 2 || I never did it on time || I will try and plan my work equally ||
 * Plan || 3 || I think i sort of organised my plan well || I will try and do my plan according to the work i have not finished ||
 * Create || 1 || Work not done in time || I will use my plane more and follow it ||
 * Evaluate || 2 || I did my reflection well and explained why i did not finish the cycle || I will try and get more time to think about my explanation ||
 * Attitudes in Technology || 3 || I did well but most of the time i messed about and i was wasting time by playing a lot || I will improve my behaviour and focus more on my work ||
