13. Copy right (1.3)
Copyright is a legal right that grants the creator of
an original design rights to that design and its use
and distribution for an amount of time. If someone
uses a copyrighted design without the owners
permission, this owner will be able to claim
compensation.
I am allowed to use my final images because I
made the image myself, therefore I would not be
able to use anybody else's image apart from mine.
15. 1.6 File Formats
I will save a version of my magazine as a jpeg
Advantages Disadvantages
Doesn't take up a lot of
storage.
The more compression
you use, the more
smudges appear.
Its supported by every
digital camera.
If you modify your photos
in photo-editing software
with layers, saving your
files as JPEGs will flatten
the image so the layers
cannot be accessed
after saving.
Jpeg files can be printed
directly from a camera.
They lose quality when
they are saved
16. 1.6 File Formats
I will also save a version of my magazine as a pdf.
Advantages Disadvantages
A pdf is compact and
able to compress large
files.
A pdf is not editable.
They are easily and
quickly created.
Larger pdf files are slower
to download than HTML
A pdf is designed for
printable use.
PDF documents are
usually formatted to print
vertically when monitors
are generally horizontal.
17. 1.6 File Formats
I will also save a version of my magazine as a psd
Advantages Disadvantages
Psd files are more suitable
for importing and
exporting data from
programs like adobe.
People can only open
them if they have
Photoshop.
It keeps layers so you can
make changes.
It’s a big file size.
PSD files open in adobe
Photoshop.
The file size is to big to be
portable.
18. 2.3 How your work meet’s clients
needs
I have met the brief by making 3 changes to 5
different images of Eccles sixth form college.
Is this image in the correct file format? I used a
jpeg which is the correct file format for the
images.
Is it high enough quality? ? The image has no
blur on it which means the quality is high
enough.
Do the images promote Salford? The images
that I have taken promotes Eccles sixth form
college.
