Graphics  (How can computers predict how we are changing?)   By: Þórdís Timilia Guðmundsdóttir   INVESTIGATION   Identify the Problem I have to create pictures which will show what I looked like in the past and what I look like now and how I will look in the future. I will use the website age me. (ageme.com) Explain the Problem I don't have many pictures of me because I didn't bring many pictures of me to Malawi.I also have to use gimp and the scanner and   I don't really know how to use Gimp 2 and the scanner. Research and Analysis I'm not quiet sure how to use Gimp 2. I have found out how I will scan my designs. 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. Product Specification My product Must: Test Plan I must draw 3 different designs. I must put pictures when I was baby to 80 years old. (I don't have to draw 80 people with a different age on the design.) I must put 1 picture how I look know. I must have each picture on a separate layer. I must name my collage on a separate layer. I must save it as a jpeg file less than 500kb in size. I must be happy with my design. DESIGN  Pictures of my designs 
 * Be easy to follow.
 * Understandable.
 * Be 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels.
 * Have 5 different pictures of myself when I was baby to 12 years old.
 * Have 1 picture of me now.
 * Have 8 pictures of me from 15 to 80 years old, I will use age me to do that.
 * Have each pictures on a separate layer.
 * Have my name on the collage on a separate layer.
 * Be flattened when finished.
 * Be save as a jpeg file less than 500kb in size.

Analysis of my designs **Design 2:** It's a keyboard with keys. On the green keys it showes how I looked when I was a baby, how I look know and how I look in the future. **Design 3:** It's a christmas tree with decorations. On the star it showes how I look now and on the christmas lights showes 1 to 80 years old. Justification for chosen design **I choose Design 1**. Because I think it wouldn't be as much problem than the other designs that I made. PLAN were baby to 11 years old || will look in the future || you did is on your page ||
 * Design 1:** It's the letter "D". It shows all the faces when I was baby, how I look now and how I will look in the future.

CREATE  Final Product    Changes made to the original Design  I change the color of some pictures that I was not gonna do for my design, but than I needed to do it so I would have 14 pictures or more. Changes made to the original Plan I change little bit of my plan because I needed to changes the website that I was going to use and I also change the color of my pictures (some of them).

EVALUATE  Results of test  It is 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels. I have 6 different pictures when I was baby to 12. I have 3 picture of me know. I have 9 pictures how I will look in the future. I have each picture on a separate layer. My name is on the collage on a separate layer and it is save as a jpeg file less than 500 kb in a size. I didn't like my design first, but then I like it. It was little bit hard to do this design because It took more time to think how I was exactly gonna do this final product, but then I found out how I was gonna do this final product. Recommendations for improvement I will need to have more pictures with me and I need to know exactly how I'm gonna do this final product. Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle  I would like to have more time to do these stages so I wouldn't need to do this very fast and so I wouldn't need to hurry up and hurry up.
