Designing the magazine (1.4, 2.1, 2.2)

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.

1.7 Organising Your Files

1.6 File FormatsI 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

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.

1.6 File Formats

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.
