Your first 3 customers have given you quite different tasks:

·         A local band would like a logo designed for their website this needs to be combined with their band photo.

·         A builder wants some eye catching text for the side of his van to improve business opportunities.

·         The nursery on your estate would like a flyer designed to promote the facility.

What type of graphic will you create for each customer and what file format should be used?  Explain your answers.

· A local band would like a logo designed for their website this needs to be combined with their band photo.

They should use a bitmap, jpeg or GIF file on fireworks or Photoshop as you can insert pictures and  images and text for their own logo they want to create.  if these get blown up to a large scale they will get pixleated, but as the logo is being used on a website it will be small.

·         A builder wants some text for the side of his van to improve business opportunities.

It can then be printed and cut out with a vinyl cutter and put on the van. They should use a vector file on adobe illustrator to make text for the side of his van. This is because it can be blown up to a large scale without being blury or pixleated.  

·         The nursery on your estate would like a flyer designed to promote the facility.

             

They should use a PDF file on Microsoft word or publisher to create a graphic so that who ever they send it to can open it on what ever computer or device they are on, it is that simple. They do not need to have the program downloaded on their device
