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.

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

Different learning styles

From http://www.learningrx.com/different-learning-styles-faq.htm - Blue

Types of Learning Styles Types of Learning Styles: The Three Main Types
There are three main types of learning styles: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Most people learn best through a combination of the three types of learning styles, but everybody is different.

I personally learn better from visual learning because I understand and learn quicker when I am able to read the information and when I write down the information I have it just sticks in my mind better for example if I read a page in a book I am pretty good at remembering the information but when I write it down it is cemented in my mind.

Auditory Learners: Hear
auditory learners would rather listen to things being explained than read about them. Reciting information out loud and having music in the background may be a common study method. Other noises may become a distraction resulting in a need for a relatively quiet place.

This can be useful and not useful in some way because you can be someone who likes to listen to people to learn but if you are in a noisy environment you might struggle to take in the information and if you are in a quiet place you could take the information better so it would be useful to learn like this but for learning in a class room for example it could be quite noisy so you could struggle to take in this information

Visual Learners: See
Visual learners learn best by looking at graphics, watching a demonstration, or reading. For them, it’s easy to look at charts and graphs, but they may have difficulty focusing while listening to an explanation.

This way of learning can also be good and bad because I personally struggle to concentrate when people are talking for lengths of time so what I would do in lessons would be to read through the text book of the topic that has just been explained to me and I found this worked better for me but it was quite time consuming because if I did not take in what the teacher said I would spend more of my time going over what has been explained to me rather than getting on with the task at hand

Kinesthetic Learners: Touch
Kinesthetic learners process information best through a “hands-on” experience. Actually doing an activity can be the easiest way for them to learn. Sitting still while studying may be difficult, but writing things down makes it easier to understand.

This can be good for some people but there is not always the opportunity to get hands on in learning some information so if this is the way you learn best there could be fewer opportunities to use this method to learn

Types of Learning Styles: What Everybody Should Know
Although most people use a combination of the three learning styles, they usually have a clear preference for one. Knowing and understanding the types of learning styles is important for students of any age. It is advantageous for students to understand their type of learning style early on so that homework and learning may become easier and less stressful in the future. Although it may be tempting to stick with what works, it’s important to practice and train the other types of learning styles early on so that, as he grows, the child can utilize the other types just as effectively.
