Task 2

The school also need to produce brochures and materials that can be used at option and parent's evenings, they also want to display graphical images on the the Kingswood website and on school vehicles. You need to recommend the file types needed to display the images in the locations and justify the reasons for your choice.

(P2) 23rd Jan

Brochures are often made using images that are BITmap or JPEG because these are smaller files and they are more efficient and will work better because they are made of pixels so it will use less ink than if it was a vector image because that is made up of lines instead it is important to make each sheet efficient because if you are handing out brochures you will make hundreds and every bit of extra ink used will add up together so to print images on a brochure you should use BITmap or JPEG and if you are making the brochures online you will save it as a PDF file this way anyone will be able to open it weather they are on a mac or pc

Images on vehicles are mostly done with vector images because these images will not lose quality when they are stretched so they will work well when they are being applied to the vehicle but a slight problem with using this is that the file size would be very large compared to a bitmap file Illustrator is often the software used to make the images for the vehicles

If you are putting an image onto a website it is better to use a bitmap image or a jpeg image because they are both smaller files so this will make them a lot faster to download because it is just made up of lots of little pixels that can be moved faster than a block image but vector images could also be used if they are not meant to be downloaded because if it is for visual purposes you would want the highest quality possible these will often be made on Photoshop

P1 - M1

To create the materials needed, you will need to create graphic images. You need to specify and describe the hardware and software needed to create the imagery digitally. Consider the computer system, input devices, output devices and also file storage.

Add notes to your work that justifies your choices and evaluates the limitations of the hardware and software that you have suggested.

(M1) 18th Jan

I have chosen these products because with these the specs of the computer will be a windows 7 16GB of RAM and a terabyte hard drive this would be a powerful desktop pc that will be able to edit using Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection effectively and it would run the software well but some problems with the system I have chosen is that it will be very powerful so there is a higher chance of the system overheating and destroying the components and it could also short the power supply that could also damage the components and since it would be built from scratch there is always the chance that you could accidentally damage a part of the computer and you will need to replace it but there is also one advantage and slight disadvantage with keeping up to date with newer computers you will need to update the computer and change some components this is good because it will be a lot cheaper than buying a really high spec computer and it is bad because it will still cost you quite a bit to upgrade the computer I have chosen to use three monitors on a mount so they can be curved slightly around the person using them this will make it more efficient to use because you will not need to have windows getting opened and then minimise that to open another one because you could have a window on each screen and finally I chose the graphics tablet with this computer because I have looked into the software and this tablet is compatible and will make the product a higher quality and it will speed up and make the production faster on what you are creating the main downfall of the software is the price because I get the whole computer the printer the paper and ink and the tablet the camera and the three monitors for around £1600 and it is nearly £2400 for the software alone
