1)Simple
I think this is simple one because it is only with the
exactly the same letters ,no pictures, no colours , just black normal letters
on the white background.
2)Memorable
This is not memorable logo because memorable logo have
colours and are more ‘’interesting’’ and everyone remember
and can recognise this. For example Mc Donald’s logo everyone sees it and knows
what is this. Memorable means ‘’EVERYONE REMEMBER THAT’’.
3)Timeless
This is not timeless because Linkin Park changed their logos,
timeless is logo which is not changed in future e.g. coca- cola logo is still
the same. Everyone know what is this and this never changed.
4)Versatile
This is not versatile because this for animals which are in
dangerous.
5)Appropriate
This is logo for e.g. toys gave lots of colours
and look really colourful.

- A local band would like a logo designed
for their website this needs to be combined with their band photo.
For this customer I need type of graphic GIF( Indexed colour file, for raster
(pixmap) data only. Primarily for synthetic, somewhat flat images such as
logos, diagrams, navigation ).Uses a CLUT (colour lookup table)
to define the colours as though they were individual colour chips, and only
supports up to 256 colours per image. Although it can simulate continuous-tone colours
by dithering, that’s generally best left to the JPEG or PNG formats.
GIF87 was the original Web graphic file format, way back in 1993. The
current version, GIF89a, supports 1-bit (jagged-edge) transparency,
comments, and simple animation.GIF is your best Web option for images with
flat, solid colours — the sort of images you normally create in vector drawing
programs such as Illustrator. Of course we’d love to put our Illustrator images
on the Web in their original vector form, but for the most part that’s not
possible (but sees SVG lower down in this table). So we export our
vectors to raster formats like GIF or PNG for the Web.GIF is
rarely a good choice for non-Web use.
- A builder wants some eye catching text for
the side of his van to improve business opportunities.
For this customer I need type of graphic GIF or
JPEG (Ccompressed, lossy file format, for raster pixmap data only.
Mostly for photo-type images on the Web. Can hold RGB data; many
compression levels and other options available).For Web, digital camera
storage, and stock photo dissemination. (By the way, this latter use is
counter-intuitive, since it’s a loss format and stock photos are often intended
for high-end prepress work; but in this kind of use the files are so huge, and the
compression applied so minimal, that there’s no significant data loss.) But for
everyday use — which generally means in Web development — the looseness is a
major issue. The trade-off is between file size and quantization artefacts. There are many variants and choices to
be made in exporting JPEGs. Many people save JPEGs from Photoshop’s
built-in “Save for Web” dialog, but there are lots of other programs —
including Web-specific graphics applications like Fireworks — that can save JPEGs.
Each has its own vagaries. Be aware that the JPEG “quality” in these
programs have no universal meaning and are not standard across programs;
they’re only meaningful for comparisons within the same program.
- The nursery on your estate would like a
flyer designed to promote the facility.
For this customer I need type of
graphic GIF or SVG (Attempt to introduce a standard vector format for the Web).This
is a text-based graphics language that describes images with vector shapes,
text, and embedded raster graphics. SVG files provide resolution independent,
high resolution dots per inch (HiDPI) graphics on the web, in print, and on
mobile devices in a compact format. The ability to style SVG with CSS and the
support of scripting and animation makes SVG an integral part of the web
platform. SVG is used in many business areas including Web graphics,
animation, user interfaces, graphics interchange, print and hardcopy output,
mobile applications and high-quality design.SVG is a royalty-free
vendor-neutral open standard developed under the W3C Process. It has strong
industry support; Authors of the SVG specification include Adobe, Agfa, Apple,
Canon, Corel, Ericsson, HP, IBM, Kodak, Macromedia, Microsoft, Nokia, Sharp and
Sun Microsystems. SVG viewers are deployed to over 100 million desktops, and
there is a broad range of support in many authoring tools.

Computer
The new IMacs with computer and thin screen all in one are great giving you a nice large screen (19″ or 24″) without taking up to much space .At least 2GB memory, the more the better if you are using Photoshop a lot and any 3D packages.
Keyboard
In computing, a keyboard is
a typewriter-style device, which uses an arrangement of buttons
or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches. Following the
decline of punch cards and paper tape, interaction
via teleprompter-style keyboards became the main input device for
computers.
Digital camera
A camera that
takes video or still photographs by recording images
on an electronic image sensor. Most cameras sold today are
digital, and digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging
from PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to
vehicles.
Image projector
An optical device that
projects an image (or moving images) onto a surface, commonly a projection
screen. Most projectors creates an image by shining a light through a small
transparent image, but some newer types of projectors can project the image
directly, by using lasers. A virtual retinal display, or retinal
projector, is a projector that projects an image directly on
the retina instead of using an external projection screen.
Mouse
In computing, a mouse is
a pointing device that functions by
detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface.
Physically, a mouse consists of an object held under one of the user's hands,
with one or more buttons.
The mouse sometimes features other
elements, such as "wheels", which allow the user to perform various
system-dependent operations, or extra buttons or features that can add more
control or dimensional input. The mouse's motion typically translates into the
motion of a pointer on a display, which allows for fine control
of a graphical user interface.
Printer
An A3+ Inkjet printer is ideal for printing out any visuals required, possibly postscript colour management software – I proof (gave me loads of problems) or Print Fab, try out the demos of these before you buy them. Lots of people using an Epson Stylus R1800 but was having problems with colour casts and have now swapped to a Canon iX4000. You can also get round a non-postscript inkjet printer by creating a PDF first and then printing that, though the colours may need some tweaking.
Fonts and Font Management
Mac system software now comes with built in Font book for managing fonts or you could look at a third party font management system such as Suitcase
Several fonts will come with your
Mac and software packages. More can be bought from many sources such as linotype and Faces.
Free fonts are also available from many sites such as Dafont, though I
wouldn’t generally use these for main body copy as they don’t always have a
full character set or good kerning.
Software
Adobe Creative Suite can give you all the packages you would need for most design for print jobs – Photoshop for image manipulation, Illustrator for vector work, Logo design etc, InDesign for page layout, Acrobat for creating print ready PDFs.
Lots of people prefer Quark
Xpress for page layout over InDesign but many designers are now swapping/have
swapped over to InDesign. As a package Creative Suite works out far more cost
effective than having to buy Quark Xpress plus Photoshop and Illustrator.
Also for pulling in supplied
Word/Excel files into layouts does the Open Source (free) Office Suite
Neooffice which is use regularly and saves have to pay for Microsoft Office.
If you are going to do some web
design work the standard packages are Dreamweaver and Flash, which
you could buy along with the other Adobe software in a bundle if you need them.
If you intend hand coding there are lots of free text editors out there – Note
Pad, Crimson Edit etc.
Scanner
most images these days are supplied digitally so a fairly basic scanner is usually fine. Mostly is use mine for scanning in sketches of logos etc. All in one black and white laser, copier, and scanner.
Backing Up
An external USB fire wire hard drive or some free online storage space if ideal for backing up your work.
Other things to consider
Virus/firewall software and Mac Maintenance software.
What about free open source
design software?
There are some open source packages that you could use, though personally Them and don’t know of anyone who uses then professionally. If you are going to be working for other design agencies you really need to be using the professional packages so that you can pass documents between each other. If however you are going to be designing directly for clients and no-one else needs to be able to edit your files I guess Open Source Options would be possible to use as long as you could output them to print ready PDF.
A special method of distributing
and installing software(or software upgrades) to a computer. For
example, on a Macintosh computer, a package usually means
"software." It's specifically a directory, presented as a single
file, that contains all the information the Mac OS X Installer
application needs to install your software. That includes the software itself,
as well as files that are used only during the installation process. In
a Windows environment it is sometimes called an installation
package or update package
