Survey results

Here are the graphs what I created about 3 of the questions I made on survey monkey. This tells me the percentages on each of my 3 questions.

Magazine logo designs using Dafont (2.1)

Magazine logo designs using Illustrator (2.1)

Logo design

I chose this logo because I think that the black bit inside the star is really nice because I have put an effect on it. I have also put a red border around it. I also used a tool on illustrator to make my star look like that I like the turn out of this I think it looks great I chose this because I thought it looked the best overall.

Designing the magazine (1.4, 2.1, 2.2)

Copy right (1.3) Copy right means that if someone has created their own

work then you cant copy it. You can only copy their work if you have permission from the owner this means that if you copy their work without permission you can loose your property, loose your freedom, and also loose your job. You will also have to pay a fine. My front cover meets copyright laws because I have used images that I have taken my self rather than copying someone else's .

1.7 Organising Your Files

This is a screenshot of my files organised as you can see in the screenshot I have 3 different folders for the teachers I have that is where I store all my work for them. I have done this so I know where to access my work and I know it will be easy to find it.

1.6 File Formats- JPEG I will save a version of my magazine as a JPEG?

Advantages An advantage is that it doesn’t take up much storage space. You can edit a JPEG image file in other Microsoft documents. You can do different graphics with a JPEG image file.

Disadvantages Lossy form of compression. JPEG’S only support 8 bit file images. JPEG’S don’t support layers of images.

1.6 File Formats - PSD

I will also save a version of my magazine in a PSD

Advantages Any kind of graphics you can do in a PSD document Quality isn't lost with this documentYou can edit your images in other editing websites.

DisadvantagesVery few other programmes will understand or open PSD files.Can make the file unwieldy and can be difficult to email or transfer.PSD support is often inconsistent outside of Adobe’s products.

1.6 File Formats PDF

AdvantagesPDF’S are good for forms and manuals.They are ideal where specialised fonts are required.They deliver high resolution images in a small file format.DisadvantagesLarger files can be slowerThe reader must have Adobe reader plug inThey are usually formatted to print vertically.

2.3 How your work meet’s clients needs

Ye my pictures meet the clients needs because I edited them on Photoshop.

Ye I saved them all as a JPEG because that is the correct file formats.

Ye it is a high enough quality.Ye my images support Salford city college.
