Unit 35: Task 2: P2

 P2

Your first three customers have given you quite different tasks:

• A local band would like a logo designed for their website this needs to be combined with their band photo.
• A builder wants some eye catching text for the side of his van to improve business opportunities.
• The nursery on your estate would like a flyer designed to promote the facility.

What type of graphic will you create for each customer and what file format should be used?  Explain your answers.

Vectors are mainly used for lines and curves.

This graphic needs to be a vector graphic as they are scale-able meaning that when you re-size it, it does not lose quality.  I will be using a vector graphic as they are used for lines and curves but also images. This will be useful as if the image needs enlarging it will not lose focus or good parameter. For this local band I would use various different software for example Illustrator and Photoshop this is a vector file and will appear in the file format of P.N.G helps prevents loss of image data it also allows extra information can be stored within the image. P.N.G is mainly used worldwide on the WEB. I would also be using Photoshop to incorporate the image which uses JPEG which is a compressed image format. JPEG images are not limited of colour but can be compressed into a smaller size but becomes a bitmap graphic as it becomes pixelated. By using Photoshop I will be able to add, crop and alter the image of the band to suit their preferences and so that it is of high quality. Illustrator will be used so that we can then incorporate and play around with lettering so that we can display the band name and so that it works well with the image of the band, things like contrast and colour need to be considered. This format will be saved as an AL file as AL happens to be a file extension for vector graphics. Once this has been saved it can then be inserted into Photoshop to then combine the image and lettering together.

For this builder I would be using the software named Adobe Illustrator to make this eye-catching text for his vans appearance. Even though Illustrator is used for being vector graphics-based drawing program it creates great quality fonts and lettering which will help this builders vans appearance catch more eyes. The lettering can be played around with and placed in various arrangements that link with the subject or surrounding images. By being able to alter text colour, font  and proportion it will make the business more attractive to customers. This will be Bitmap although Illustrator happens to be a vector graphic as it needs to be of good quality but enlargeable due to it being text and will be saved not as an AL file, but if you create it at a specific size so if you make alterations before it needs to be finalized so that it doesn't contain loads of pixels and lack quality. This file format will be EPS as this can be saved as a PDF file and then be converted into a EPS which helps convert to image formats.

This graphic needs to be a bitmap graphic as due to the computer storing information regarding every individual pixel withing an image the graphic will already be quite large, meaning it shouldn't be needing enlarging as then it will loose quality. I will use Illustrator to create these flyers for the nursery as even tough Illustrator allows you to save it in a vector format and be enlarge that is not required if it is saved as a vector file, by saving it as a bitmap file it will not be needing enlarged. By using Illustrator I will be capable of incorporating different images, text and whatever else they require for their flyer to be informative and eye-catching to those interested. Maps and various other necessities can be incorporated if need be as they can be inserted via images or through Illustrators drawing program. This will can be saved as a PDF file as it is a piece of text including images rather than pictures and lines/curves which is a vector graphic. Bitmap files are full of bits of pixels rather like on a map to make an image look larger but is incapable of making alterations to it.
