=** Image manipulation - is it right? **= When is it ok to manipulate images? Drag these statements into the order of acceptability.



=** Your turn **= Explore example of image manipulation. Look at websites (eg: on Flickr (by searching for before after, this site here and more here ) and try out the methods you see, through photoshop techniques and searching for how to tutorials on google (also, see Mrs Ahmed's photoshop books/ magazines).

Once you have decided your target audience eg: teenage girls, complete some market research to find what they might want to know about a how images are manipulated and how they would prefer the information to be presented.

Research ways the different ways to present your information eg: website, screencast, video, booklet, leaflet, interactive book, step-by-step guide etc. Test out at least five ways to present your information and explain each method on your wiki page.

Add all your research to your page and summarise each activity. This research should be detailed with clear reasons in paragraphs not one word or short sentences.

=** Guiding Questions **= Write the answers to each of the questions to help you organise your research phase.

// Is there anything you need to find out how to do? What research will you need to carry out? //
 * What do I need to know before I can begin to design a solution to the challenge? **

// Where can you find information to help you? Will you use books/websites/experts/surveys? //
 * What are some sources of information? Who/what can help me? Where can I find these? **

// Who is interested by and / or affected by the challenge? Who is the client? The users? //
 * Who are the stakeholders in the challenge? **

= ** Sources ** = For each piece of information, list the source correctly using APA referencing (see the examples in your student handbook). You also need to explain how **__helpful__** it is, how __**reliable**__ it is and summarise what you found from that source.

=** Design Brief Overview **= When you have completed your research, write a paragraph to summarise:
 * 1) what product you will create
 * 2) why you will create it
 * 3) who it is aimed at

For example a good overview (design brief) might look like this:

"Teenagers have very busy lives. School, family and social activities mean that being punctual is very important.

I will design and make a wall clock that will be appealing for teenage girls. It will be a modern design and will be suitable for a teenage girl's bedroom. Because the design will appeal to teenage girls, them they will be more likely to look at it, read the time and therefore not be late.

=** Design Specification **= Once you have completed your research, use what you have found and the information from the context and challenge to write your design specification. You need to include:

__ Required __ __ Desired __ __ Test __ I will test my finished image manipulation (leaflet/website/ screencast/how to guide) by...
 * My image manipulation (leaflet/website/screencast/how to guide) has to...
 * My image manipulation (leaflet/website/screencast/how to guide) should be...

=** Testing **= You need to plan how you will test your image manipulation awareness product and get feedback. State this for each specification point in a two or three sentences - for example:
 * 1) who you will show,
 * 2) what you will ask them when you have shown it,
 * 3) how you will record what they say about the product,
 * 4) how will you know if their feedback means you have met the design specification,
 * 5) what you will do if it does not meet the DS
 * 6) what you will do with the information they give you.

=** Assessment Criteria **= Here are the assessment criteria for this unit
