= INVESTIGATION =

The current situation/problem:

 * The current problem is that the the staff and students are unaware of the dangerous that are all around the school. The school is dangerous because it has had many objects that have been created over the past few years with out people realizing that there is problems with the school until they are a witness. People are unaware that these things could harm other people such as things that they lie around all over the school and other people might topple over.**

The Design Brief

 * I will make a product to make people and students more aware of the hazards that are around the school. **

**For the tests I am going to use the following questions:**
Does the poster have a good explanation as to that of a conclusion? Does the poster has all the requirements in the design specification? Have you had the poster placed where there is a problem? Did you list the things that could prevent a collision at that place where there is a problem and list it on the poster? Did you have a conclusion that can solve the problem in the **current situation/problem?**

**Design Specification**
We are going to create a safety poster for the use of the school using these followings: Be 40 cm wide by 28 cm tall OR 40 cm tall and 28 cm wide Be read from __ (far or near give distances) Have named layers Have no unused layers Have images that are re-sized Have images blended Any advanced techniques must be included in the design stage. You must stick to the design as close as possible Be flattened at the end Be imported into Publisher and made A3 size so we can print it and laminate.

Must also put in a colorful background Must put in plates for the pictures Must have stick people on the poster Must have sharp letters
 * Must have it so that it grabs peoples attention**
 * 1.** Here is a warning sign that is for uneven ground. **2.** Here is a danger sign **3.** Here is a stupid sign read it! **(It's pathetic)**

= DESIGN = =**I have chosen to basically combine all my designs but mostly the first design and create it.**= =**I will put all the things that I like best about them and that I believe will make it a very good and attractive poster!**=

Design 1
This design has a colorful background, it has plates for the picture, it does not have stick people on the poster but I will put stick people if I chose this picture on GIMP. It has sharp letters and it will catch peoples attention when I complete it on GIMP. This poster is going to be read by a close distance. The pictures that I have taken are going to be on different layers. I have chose this design because it has most of the things in the design specification and because I think it is the most attractive poster that I have designed.

Design 2
This design has a colorful background, it has plates for the picture, it does not have stick people on the poster. It has sharp letters and it will catch peoples attention when I complete it on GIMP. This poster is going to be read by a far distance. The pictures that I have taken are going to be on different layers.



Design 3
This design has a colorful background, it has plates for the picture, it does not have stick people on the poster. It has sharp letters and it will catch peoples attention when I complete it on GIMP. This poster is going to be read by a close distance. The pictures that I have taken are going to be on different layers. However this design has a fair amount

Here is the things that I must put on my create.

//__ Good __// There are several good things about my create. It was 40cm high by 28cm wide. It was created to be read from a far distance. I had named the layers even though there were like 30 of them. I have not used any unusual layers. All of the pictures that I used were re-sized. Everything was flattened at the end. If you look at the create the background is super colorful. This poster I think would grab people’s attention. //__ Bad __// There are some things that I did not include that were in the design specification. I did not blend any of the pictures. I did not include any advanced techniques because I did not use any advanced techniques. I did not use any plates because then I would be using unusual layers. I did not put any stick people in my create because I could not find any good stick people to use. I did not use any sharp letters. //__ Next Time __// So overall I would say that I did fairly well because I had more than 2 3rds use in my create that were listed in the design specification. Next time I am going to use sharp letters to grab people’s attention more. And also next time I’m maybe going to organize my pictures and sentences a little bit more.

 * For the Design I think that I am going to get a 6 because I made some really good designs and said why I chose a certain design to create on GIMP. I have commented each design against the design specification. **=====

** For the Evaluation I think I am going to get a 4 just because. **
