= INVESTIGATION =

The current situation/problem:
The current situation is that our school,Bishop Mackenzie is very unsafe and another fact is that many people are unaware of these problems. this could cause some students to get hurt if they don't have safety posters to warn them. For example, if you are in a classroom and you have space to put your bags, there might need to be a safety poster to tell you that your bag should not be in the way of where people are going to walk. If there is no poster, someone may trip over your bag and get hurt. That is one of the advantages of having a safety poster around, it warns you of any dangers.

The Design Brief
I am going to create a safety poster for each problem i see around the school so the students can be aware of the dangers around them. Doing this will really help and we will have less students injured around the school. i am going to target slippery floors to tell people how dangerous it is and to give them warning.

The Design Specification

 * **a sort of title somewhere on the page**
 * **some images that show that there is danger if you do not follow the poster**
 * **have a short message that tells you to not do whatever the problem is**
 * **should be quite colorful but serious at the same time**
 * **not be so boring and dull**
 * **not have so much empty spaces**


 * ** Be 40 cm wide by 28 cm tall OR 40 cm tall and 28 cm wide **
 * ** Be read from far 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. **

Tests = DESIGN =
 * make sure the picture can be read from a far distance
 * ask a friend for their opinion if the creation is dull and boring or not

Design 1
In this design i included
 * a sort of title to tell you there is a problem (BEWARE0
 * i have added some images that show there is danger

in this design i have not included
 * it is not as colorful as i wanted it
 * its quite dull and boring
 * too much empty spaces

LAYERS:
 * 1) title .layer 1
 * 2) triangle with exclamation mark. layer 2
 * 3) stay safe writing. layer 3
 * 4) second stay safe writing. layer 4
 * 5) wet floor ahead. layer 5
 * 6) do not slip. layer 6
 * 7) mop. layer 7
 * 8) exclamation no.1 .layer 8
 * 9) exclamation mark no.2 .layer 9
 * 10) exclamation mark no 3. layer 10
 * 11) exclamation mark no. 4. layer 11
 * 12) scull and cross-bone. layer 12

therefore i do not think i will chose this design as i have not properly followed my design specification

Design 2
in this design i have included
 * a sort of title that tells you there is a problem (WARNING)
 * some images that show there is danger if you do not follow the poster
 * color, so it is not so dull
 * a short message that tells you whatever the problem is
 * there are not lots of empty spaces, there are some but not a lot

i have included all if not most of what i said i would like to include in my design specification. what i do not like about this picture that i did not include in my specification is that i wouldn't like it to be landscape, therefore i will not chose this design.

LAYERS:
 * 1) title .layer 1
 * 2) mind the wet floor. layer 2
 * 3) be safe. layer 3
 * 4) exclamation mark no. 1. layer 4
 * 5) exclamation mark no 2. layer 5
 * 6) exclamation mark no. layer 6
 * 7) triangle with exclamation mark no.1. layer 7
 * 8) triangle with exclamation mark no.2. layer 8
 * 9) scull and cross-bone. layer 9
 * 10) mop. layer 10
 * 11) do not slip yolo. layer 11

Design 3



 * a sort of title that tells you there is a problem (CAUTION)
 * some images that show there is danger if you do not follow the poster
 * color, so it is not so dull
 * a short message that tells you whatever the problem is
 * it is not boring and there are not so much empty spaces.

LAYERS:
 * 1) title. layer 1
 * 2) wet floor ahead. layer 2
 * 3) remember yolo. layer 3
 * 4) scull and cross-bone no.1. layer 4

 * 6) triangle with exclamation mark no. 1. layer 6
 * 7) triangle with exclamation mark no. 2. layer 7
 * 8) triangle with exclamation mark no. 3 layer 8
 * 9) triangle with scull and cross-bone. layer 9
 * 10) mop no.1. layer 10
 * 11) mop no.2. layer 11
 * 12) be safe. layer 12

overall i would chose this design from all my others. i would chose this design because it has everything i listed in my design specification and i am also very happy with it. i will keep every part of it and will not replace anything on it with anything from my other designs. what could add though is to make a background colour = PLAN =

CREATE

i did not miss out anything i said i would do in my design and plan stage. i added some extra pictures at the bottom of he page that i did not intend on adding.

= EVALUATE = i am quite happy with my create because it included everything i wanted and said i want in my design specification. i also tried out my tests and everything is exactly how i wanted it to be, i asked a friend for her opinion and she said she could read it from a far distance. she also said it is not boring and dull. i am quite happy with my create because it included everything i wanted and said i want in my design specification. There is a clear title on the page and also some images to make the design less boring than how it would look without any images. it is also as colorful as i wanted it to be because i said that it also had to be serious. i have chosen the right color combination to make it as serious as i said it should be. it doesn't have much empty spaces because the background makes it look full. this design is not boring and dull. i have also made it the exact size as listed in my specification, it is 28 by 40 cm. it can also be read from far distances because of the colors i used. i had no unnamed layers and no unused layers. i do not think i blended any images though. and in the end i flattened my picture. for next time i think i should keep reading the design specification to make sure i'm not missing anything in my create. if i could improve on this, i would have tried to blend in pictures together so it looks better than just copying and pasting pictures onto it. so i missed out some important parts that i had to include || look at assessment criteria || this stage || look at assessment criteria || of the information wrong. eg, how long the create stage was going to take || double check how long the create stage will actually take || it said you have created a good product and made a good plan resulting in a good product, i think that is what i have done || try to look at the higher marks in the assesssment criteria and try to follow them ||
 * ==Stage== || ==Grade== || ==Reason For Level .== || ==How to improve next time .== ||
 * ==INVESTIGATE== || 2-3 || i did not look at the assessment criteria before i did this
 * ==**DESIGN**== || 3 || again, i did not follow the assessment criteria while doing
 * ==**PLAN**== || 3-4 || i think i followed the assessment criteria well but i got some
 * ==**CREATE**== || 3 || i think i should get a 3 because in the assessment criteria
 * ==**EVALUATE**== || 3-4 || i followed the assessment criteria while writing it || continue to follow the assessment criteria ||
