2. WHAT IS A GRAPHICS
DESIGNER?
Definition – a graphics designer is a
professional within the graphic design
and graphic arts industry who
assembles together images or
motions graphics to create a piece of
design.
3. ESSENTIAL
COMPONENTS
- a large monitor for their computer, with a high quality
resolution.
- large capacity RAM The hard drive should also be of a high
capacity for efficient storage of permanent data.
- Processor speed is also an important component of the CPU,
this is how long it takes for both input and output information to
be processed.
4. APPROXIMATE
PRICE TO UPGRADE
- The desktop computer which we selected is £319.99,
however a monitor is also needed to display the
information from the PC.
- The monitor I chose was an LG 23MP75 IPS LED
Monitor. The price is only £149.99.
- Total Cost: Approx £570
5. RANKED KEY
UPRGRADES
1. The motherboard is the most important component of any computer
because it determines what you can put in your computer and even
how great everything else works together.
2. We ranked the CPU the second most important because, the best
experience depends on the specs of the actual CPU.
3. HDD was ranked no.3, obviously because it allows you to primarily
store permanent data, which is essential for every user.
4. Memory, whether its RAM, ROM or virtual memory is important
because it increases the speed of a computer and eliminated the
need to swap programs in and out.
6. FUTURE PROOF
The life expectancy of the computer of a graphic
designer, would probably be quite a few years since
the capacity of the hard drive and memory is fairly
large. If the computer is used over a few years, it is
unlikely there will be problems with the software unless
there is an update. However, you may need to upgrade
the hard drive or memory since graphic images or data
usually take up a lot of storage.
