unit 35 d2



the default option is the best in my opinion, simple but looks good, all other options make the images distorted and just doesn't look as good on any other option.I could have made it better slightly by using different colours to get the best possible picture quality I can. It didn't take long to download which is also a very good thing so that it wasn't time consuming. it has very good colour resolution also .If I could use the high quality resolute image one that wouldn't distort the image for advertising where the image can be blown up big, e.g on the side of a van.I would use the low quality black and white book, I would use that to make a book,  there would be no point having fantastic colour resolution and on a website it is important to have both good download speed and good colour resolution, I would use a high resolute original image that wouldn't distort for advertising on side of vans.

what is copyright law?

It is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited amount of time.Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other related rights.

For example no one else can use a Nike tick for a logo for there company, Nike would have rights to sue them for using their logo as it is trademarked to Nike.


intellectual property

Intellectual property  is a 
legal concept which refers to creations of the mind for which exclusive rights are recognized. Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of intellectual property rights include copyright, trademarks, patterns, industrial design rights, trade dress, and trade secrets.

For example if you stole someone else's song that they wrote, and you released it taking credit for it.
The jam used the Beatles backing track for one of there songs that got to number 1, and the Beatles sued them for it.

p5 unit 35

I am Irdi and I am going to give my review on Oran's work.

Firstly I like the colours used, however the I think that you need to add more images because it seems a bit plain.




These are the changes I made because Irdi told me to add an image in the background so there was no blank white spaces, so that's what I have done.

m2 unit 35

I used adobe illustrator to make my logo because it gives you a lot of options for fonts, I designed this one myself with adding some tweaks by stretching some letters such as the F to stretch across the entire logo. I was going to go with just orange for the font but changed it to a mixture of colours to make it stand out and look a bit better.The logo wouldn't look as good if I had used another programme. The image were saved and inserted and sent to the back so that they don't cover the font.
I used publisher for this because its simple and allows me to put my logo that I made on illustrator onto it. I created individual text boxes for each bits of texts, and then sent the images to the back with the right click so that they didn't cover the text boxes, or the logo I had made on illustrator. I saved the images as a JPEG so that I could insert them into this  piece of work.

I used adobe Photoshop to make this. I saved all the images off of Google and inserted them in to the picture, and used a gradient too to blend them all together into 1 picture using a layer mask so it looked right. Then I added font on to the top to say 'fried chicken' and sent the text to the front to make it visible. I used the magnetic lasso cut tool to cut what bits of the images out that I wanted, and then I used the blur tool to blend them together so that the images bended nicely together, along with layer masks and gradient tools to finish it off.

how to avoid hackers, viruses e.t.c

Use firewall and antivirus software programs to protect your computer from hackers. These programs should automatically load 
when you turn on your computer. Make sure these computer programs 
are always running before you access the Internet. If you want to exit or turn off your firewall or antivirus program, disconnect 
from the Internet first.

Choose stronger passwords,a longer password harder to guess,
nothing obvious. 
Dont have friends on Facebook you don't know,like if a stranger added you and you weren't sure if you knew them or not, don't risk it.

Don't leave your
computer logged on in work, school, home or anywhere, makes you so much more vulnerable to hacking.
Never click on a link or attachment in your email that you are not positive is from a trusted source. If you think the e-mail looks suspicious, it probably is. It never hurts to send an email to verify that this is legitimate.Use USB drives with caution. Plugging someone else’s USB drive into your computer (or plugging your own into a computer) can spread a virus via the drive itself, not the file your actually trying to send.

be aware of pop ups, if you have been on a website that has lots of pop ups and attachments on it, avoid visiting them sites again.
