**Unit question:**
Can my learning help my community? ==
 * Pre-Unit exercise (if any)**

= INVESTIGATION = ====The current situation/problem: The current problem is that our school grounds are uneven. Most of our student are unaware of the uneven grounds our school holds. If students are to walk around the campus they may trip or step badly which would result in injuries such as scars, scrapes, spraint ankles, broken bones etc. These incidents may bring bad publicity to our school and our school will make a loss with the amount of people dropping out or not checking in.====

The Design Brief: I will create a poster which will warn our students of our uneven grounds. The students will then be more cautious and be more careful. The result will be less injuries.
= =

I will put a poster up on a well noticed place, if there is a crowd around it or continous glances my poster will have worked.
= DESIGN =

Design 1
====This is the design I like best. I like it the best because it meets my design specification and it is creative. It has lots of colour and it is the opposite of boring. This is why I chose this design. I also think that this design looks the best and will attract the attention of many students. This is why I sent my message in the colour red, because red is the colour that catches the human eye first.====

-Other side sentences (comedy
==

Design 2
====This is my second design I like it because it is creative but it is not my favorite. It is not my favorite because it fails to meet my design specification. You cannot read it from a distance and my poster has to be read from a distance and catch peoples attention. Apart from that I think that it is resonantly good.====

Most of the big ones where the stick men They are doing different actions and objects/ characters are at different positions. for example if you look at my design and create at the very beginning at the left side, they are different on my design they are supposed to be boy scouts and in my create I have a stick man bending his back as well as the three billy goat gruff trying to cross the bridge but the troll is on the other side. The three billy goat gruff are supposed to be on the right side. I am also supposed to have a lot of footballers and a goalkeeper but instead I just have one footballer and no goalkeepers. The boulders are also pointing at different angles and are not brown. and my font is different then what it is supposed to be. and in case you are comparing the two (design and create) and notice a guy karate kicking another guy, that is also different because in my design I do not have that. I did not do the sky that I had in my design in my create. So all in all I had made quite a few changes.==== = EVALUATE = ====The poster I have made almost accurately matches my design specification and my design. I have come up with some tests with my friends and most found that my design was averagely noticeable the font was a bit small but people noticed it none the less. I had made a few changes at my create mostly because I could not do it in computer for example bubble writing font I could not do as well as stencils that I had made with side writing I also could not make. This had been I minor set back but I found solutions that looked similar. Most of my designs were also very complicated and hard to replicate on computer so I got images from the internet that could replace it and they were very good substitutes and gave my poster a bit of comedy. I had purposely made my poster with comedy so people who would read it would tell there friends to read and it would spread the message fairly quickly. The only problem with this is that maybe most people will focus on the dialog and photos rather than the actual message. My favorite part of these stages was the create simply because it was fun and I like designing a lot. I also thought I did the best on my create because I improved what I had to do better than last time and read the assessment criteria and found I was doing it right. The only negative thing I would have to say would be my plan just because I believe I could have added a flow chart and that would have made it a lot better and easier to understand I had also done some unnecessary things that did not have to be there in my plan. Next time I will know better and only leave in the important things but all in all I think I did a good job with this unit.====
