Graphics ** How can computers predict how we are changing? ** By : kekeli ayivi  INVESTIGATION Identify the Problem

we dont know how to use gimp
Explain the Problem

we do not know how to edit pictures in gimp or to work with layers

Design Brief i will design a collage with pictures of myself in different ages

Product Specification My product must:


 * be 1200 pixel by 1200 pixel
 * have 1 picture of myself now
 * have 5 different pictures of myself from a baby to 12 years old
 * have 8 pictures of me ranging from 15 to 80 years old.
 * Have each picture on a separate and named layer
 * have my name on the collage on a separate layer.
 * be saved as a JPEG file less than 500kb in size
 * be in a chronological order

Test Plan i should check everything by looking at the details of the collage ( pixel,layer,size...)and checking if all the pictures are there and in the right order(from baby to 80 years old)

1: scale the picture and check if it is the right size 2:check if the picture is there and if it is the right age (now)3:check if there are enough(5)pictures and if they are in the right ages(for example:not only baby pictures)4:check if all the pictures are there and if they are in the right ages 5:check the window where the layers are shown and see if the layers are named and separated 6:check the layer window if there is a layer with my name on it 7:look at the details and see if it is a jpeg file and how big it is 8:see if the order is right (baby pictures first up to 80 years old)

DESIGN Pictures of my designs design 1

DESIGN 2

Analysis of my designs the design with the house: it has almost everything in my product specification (everything i can draw so not pixel or size)but it hasn't got my name on a seperate layer on it so i have to put my name there.

design with the earth: it hasn't got enough pictures and my name isn't there i think the rest is there

design with squares : i think it isn't creative enough but it has everything from my product specification (it is to boring)

Justification for chosen design i chose design 1 (house design) i think it is the most creative out of the 3 i have and compared to the others it has the most things from my specification ( the third one has more but it is not very creative)

 * 12 || scale the picture to the right size || 29.11.12 || gimp(details) || to almost finish my collage ||  ||
 * 13 || name all layers || 29.11.12 || gimp(layers) || to have all layers that i need and have them named ||  ||
 * 14 || export the collage as a JPEG file(computer and flash drive) || 29.11.12 || gimp,collage || to have the collage ready to upload ||  ||
 * 15 || upload collage to my wiki spaces unit 2 page || 30.11.12 || wiki spaces,collage || to have my final collage at the create stage of my wiki spaces page ||  ||

CREATE Final Product Changes made to the original Design
 * The house is different because i could not find a house like the one that i drew in the internet.
 * I have my name on a separate layer on the picture because i forgot it on the design,but it should actually be in the collage.
 * the order is different it is still chronological but it didn't fit in the house that i chose like i drew it in my design.
 * it has only 11 pictures instead of 13 because the ageing software (in 20 years .com) couldn't age every picture
 * my oldest picture is 91 years instead of 80 because i couldn't make it exactly 80.

Changes made to the original Plan

I didn't do everything on the same dates as i planed to do. I couldn't find my baby pictures, and i couldn't upload every picture to In 20 years.com. I think i followed my plan with everything else. EVALUATE Results of tests
 * Things my collage has to have || things to test || test Result ||
 * 1200 pixel by 1200 pixel || scale the picture and check if it is the right size || my picture is only 1000 pixel by 1054 pixel ||
 * have 1 picture of myself now || check if the picture is there and if it is the right age || it has 1 picture of myself now ||
 * have 5 different pictures of myself from a baby to 12 years old || check if there are enough(5)pictures and if they are in the right ages(for example:not only baby pictures) || it has 5 pictures of myself from a baby to know ||
 * have 8 pictures of me ranging from 15 to 80 years old. || check if all the pictures are there and if they are in the right ages || it has only 6 pictures ranging from 15 to 80 ||
 * Have each picture on a separate and named layer || check the window where the layers are shown and see if the layers are named and separated || it hasn't got each picture on a separate layer,the pictures that it has are named with age and name ||
 * have my name on the collage on a separate layer || check the layer window if there is a layer with my name on it || my name is at the top of the house in a separate layer ||
 * be saved as a JPEG file less than 500 KB in size || look at the details and see if it is a jpeg file and how big it is || it is a JPEG file and the size is 189 KB ||
 * be in a chronological order || see if the order is right (baby pictures first up to 80 years old) || it is in chronological order ||

Recommendations for improvement in the future i should start earlier and check the details. i forgot many things with like the size and the layers. i should also get more pictures so that i have enough.

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle i didn't do everything when it was due so i should be more organized.i should follow plan and design more so that my products is better.
