Unit 35 M2 1)
Logo (Illustrator) -
Tools-
I used the Shape tools which I used to do a star because I think normal shape like cube is boring, then I colored a star by colored palette with colors to make it stand and more interesting .After this I do text by a text tool which is ‘’T’’ and make my text bigger by font and font size because if something is bigger is better to see.
-File format-
I save logo in jpeg. Format because it is like a picture so, I think this format is the best for this type of graphic.
-Image resolution –
788x560 this resolution is good for logo because it is just a little thing and it can’t be bigger because it can go blur so, I think it is big enough.
-Color depth-
Color depth in my logo was really high to make it stand and good to see.
2) Van (Illustrator)
-Tools-
I used colors to make it stand by colored palette and make colorful text to make it better to see. Letters are in different color and I make it bigger by toll Font size to make them better to see.
-File format-
I also save this one in jpeg. Because this was uploaded on a blogger and must be like a picture. Jpeg. Format is the best for work from Illustrator.
-Image resolution-
1429x578 this resolution is enough big because we can see letters and all details properly in this.
-Color depth –
Color depth in this one was on a highest because I want to make it bright and good looking and easy to see.
3) Flyer (Publisher)
-Tools-
First I choose type of page, and then I do the text. I have lots of information there which are in green colour. That was in red but children always think red is dangerous color so I changed it by Font color Auto. Then I add some pictures which I copy from internet and stick on my flyer by copy and paste tool.
-File format-
This one I save in jpeg. Because this is like picture and the best way to save it. With it I can uploaded it on blogger.
-Image resolution-
1240x1754 this is quite big resolution but with it we can see all the text properly and pictures aren’t blur or something. And this is flyer like a poster so, it must be big.
-Color depth-
Here my color depth of flyer is medium because it can’t be too bright and too dark. It must be good to see and good for your eyes to see.

Unit35.M1
P1 and M1
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.Computer have limit of memory.You can't save more information and things in it than the computer have memory.If your computer have more memory this is better because you can save there more things.
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. Keboard have cable which is no too long so I think better is keyboard without cable.Without cable you can have keyboard on your knees and it is really comfortable for you.
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.If your camera have small amount of pixels do bad photos.If your camera have lots of pixels do amazing photos and you can see details because when you do picture by this camera with small amount of pixels it can be a little bit blur or you can't see the details if you need.
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.Image projector have space like how far it can be.If this is too far it might be blur and you can't see anything.Actually we have better projectors wchich can be then from board or whatever it is but they are too expensive.Cheapest is buy cheapest one and be careful with distance.
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.Mouse have cable which is no too long.Sometimes you are angry because of this and you want longer one.Now we have mouse without cable and you can use it where you want.I think it is better and no too expensive.
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.If you have printer which only print A3 paper you can't print bigger one.Bigger printer and with lots of options is too expensive so, you can just do like have 2 pictures on 2 sides or have lots of picture but smaller or on a half.
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.If you have norml font you can see it better and read it better.Also if you have it black you can see it better than e.g in red or blue.If your font are bigger you can see it better but not too big because when they are too big you can have less space to write something.
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. Lots of them are really hard to understand and have too many things e.g photoshop.I think better is choose another one but easy e.g.Word,Publisher.If you want Photoshop you will spend lots of time to read about it and learn about it.
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.It is quite the same like with printer if you have only to A3 size you can't scan bigger page.But scanner with lots of options is more expensive better is scan more pages on smaller than less big pages and more expensive.
Backing Up
An external USB fire wire hard drive or some free online storage space if ideal for backing up your work.I think better is USB like memomry stick and put everything on it that cable or disc.
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

Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property is commonly shortened to IP; this is when a person or institution can claim ownership of their work. Intellectual property can be bought, sold, mortgaged or licensed. Intellectual Property may have legal protection where the owner may obtain specific rights.
• Know-how and Confidential Information- Know-how is knowledge which may not required strong protection rights, but which has commercial value. Confidential information may also be referred to as a ‘trade secret’. This can be technical, financial, marketing or knowledge of some other form. Commonly it is information which identifies how an industrial process can be in place or how a key technical step may be executed.
• Patents -A patent is a contract with the state where in return for disclosing an invention the owner of the patent is given a monopoly right to use that invention for a period of 20 years. After the expiry of a patent anyone can commercialize the invention. A patent is one of the strongest rights for the protection of an invention.
• Copyright- Copyright protects the physical expression of ideas. As soon as an idea is given physical form, e.g. a piece of writing, a photograph, music, a film, a web page, it is protected by copyright. There is no need for registration. Protection is automatic at the point of creation. Both published and unpublished works are protected by copyright. Copyright is normally owned by the creators of the work, e.g. an author, composer, artist, photographer etc.
If the work is created in the course of a person's employment, then the copyright holder is usually the employer. Copyright is a property right and can be sold or transferred to others. Authors of articles in academic journals, for example, frequently transfer the copyright in those articles to the journal's publisher. It is important not to confuse ownership of a work with ownership of the copyright in it: a person may have acquired an original copyright work, e.g. a painting, letter or photograph, but unless the copyright in it has expressly also been transferred, it will remain with the creator. Copyright Symbol webpage is to help anyone searching for information about the Copyright-C symbol (which is the Circle (C)). Bookmark this page if you find it useful. Hopefully this page will be useful for the basic user who needs it to put a copyright notice on a poem or story, putting a copyright symbol into Photoshop or other adobe documents etc.Phw you won't need to search those clipart sites any more! Through to those looking to insert the copyright symbol using XML, XSL, Texan, Latex, and Java etc...
• Design Rights- Design rights give protection to the design of objects. A design may be the appearance of product in whole or in part. Designs can be protected by registered design rights or unregistered design rights. A registered design right is a contract with the state where in return for disclosing an invention the owner of the patent is given a monopoly right to use that invention for a period of 25 years.
• Trademark-A Trademark is the means by which a business makes itself visible in the marketplace. A Trademark can be any distinctive (not solely descriptive) name or logo. The best Trademarks are instantly recognizable and conjure up in the minds of existing or potential customers things like quality, dependability, or at the very least the source of the goods or services being bought.
A trademark is often defined as: “a word, name, symbol or device that is used in trade with goods to indicate the source of the goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others”. A service mark is the same as a trademark except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product. The terms "trademark" and "mark" are commonly used to refer to both trademarks and service marks.
Trademarks provide their owners with the legal right to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark. They cannot be used stop competitors from making the same goods or from selling the same goods or services under a clearly different mark.
Examples of well-known Trademarks are: Coca-Cola, Rolls-Royce, The Apple logo and the Nike “swoosh”. Trademark (also called trade mark) TM, Registered and Service Mark (or service mark) signs are meaningful popular computer symbols. You can type trademark and registered symbols right from your keyboard. Continue reading and I'll show you how to do that using different techniques on Windows, Mac and Linux.

When creating graphics:
Creation
Technically, a copyright is created the moment someone creates a graphic. However, in order for the copyright to be truly enforceable, the creator must register the graphic with the U.S. Copyright Office.
Ownership
The copyright is owned either by the person who created the graphic or by the person or company who hired the person to create the graphic. This second case is called a work for hire. If two parties have a contract for the creation of a graphic, ownership of the copyright is typically spelled out in that contract.
Term
The term of the copyright--the length of time the copyright is enforceable--depends upon the ownership of the copyright. If the person who created the graphic owns the copyright, the copyright is enforceable for 70 years beyond the creator's death. In the case of a work for hire, the copyright is good for 120 years after the graphic was created or 95 years after it was first published, whichever comes first.
