G&A (unfinished)

This is an unfinished version of the leaflet I am making in Photoshop

 

Making the G&A logo

To create the logo in Photoshop, I had to create different layers for each word, to make moving them about more easier, then I had to type of the words in each layer. Then I went into the effects tab and began to make the text more eye-catching. The effects I used are:

• Bevel & Emboss
• Satin
• Color overlay
• Pattern overlay
• Stroke

The reason why I exported it as a PNG is because it makes the logo more sharp and detailed, it also makes the logo transparent so it can easily be placed anywhere without the hassle of a white background.

Software: Photoshop

PNG

A PNG is a file type that is able to save images with transparency, it is also good at compressing images into small files. The down side to a PNG file is that it takes up more storage than the regular JPEG file. A PNG file has 256 number of colours and is a suitable file type for creating logos/icons.
Created in 1996 And is a "losslessy" which means when compressed it looses no quality. It was expected to replace GIF

Hardware:Camera

For this I had to go around my college and take pictures for my leaflet. The first one is the cafeteria, I took a picture of this because it was the most isolated place I can find, but someone still managed to get in the shot. Since it wasn't an interesting shot and it has an unknown face in it. I couldn't go with this for my leaflet. The second is the entrance to the college, I took a picture of this thinking a nice bold "welcome" would look good on the leaflet. I did not go with this because I didn't like the angle, also you can clearly see my classmates taking pictures in the background and I thought this would look unprofessional. And finally I took a picture of the building. It was a very generic idea but I couldn't find a better spot. Some classmates did get in the shot but fortunately their backs were turned. I went with this idea because it was the better picture and most clear.

JPEG

A JPEG is suitable for using highly detailed images such as photographs, it also uses much smaller file sizes than a PNG and GIF, although you are paying the price of losing image quality. This file type does not support transparency and is the least suitable for creating icons/logos.

JPEG was created in 1992 and works much better with photographs or natural scenery. It does not work well with lettering, black and white images, cartoon images. JPEG is a "lossy" which means you will lose quality when compressed, the quality of the image cannot be restored after that.

GIF

A GIF file is used to create moving images, such as small animations. It supports transparency and has lossless compression much like a PNG file.The cons of using a GIF is that it uses a much larger file size bigger than a PNG.
GIF does not have good image quality and is likely to break.
