Unit 35 P2

Unit 35:

Type of file used for a band logo on their website: You would use either a JPEG or a bitmap because when zoomed out in normal view the picture looks fine and usually a medium or high quality image without any pixilation or being burnt out. But this wouldn't be what you would use to put on the side of a van as when you zoom in on the picture the edges and pictures become pixelated and squared and the picture gets burnt out. The program you would use for this type of file is adobe Photoshop and fireworks as they are mainly for bitmap/ JPEG image editing.

The type of graphic you would use for a picture and text on the side of a van: You would use a vector image because unlike bitmaps or JPEG’s when a vector image has been blown out (size increased or zoomed in) it doesn't lose quality and become pixelated where-as bitmaps do. So you could spread out an image on the side of a van and it would be the same in quality as it was normal size. You would use the programme illustrator for a vector image.

The type of graphic you would use for a nursery school flyer promotion: You would use a PDF (portable document format); you would use this because if you have a document saved as publisher etc. If you send that document to someone else they have to have publisher downloaded to open the document but with PDF you can open the document without having certain program downloaded, you can open a PDF on anything from a computer to a mobile phone.
