This is my original logo.

Feedback: Jemma told me to change the colour of the writing to make is less boring and appeal more to people of a younger age.
This is the new logo.

Unit 30, Task 6, P6

Intellectual property means that documents you make and images you take are yours. IP is protected by law which allows people to gain financial benefit from the images they create. Examples of intellectual property include music and literature. Common examples of IPR (intellectual property rights) are copyrights, patents and the rights that protect trademarks.

Copyright is when people own the documents that they create. When someone other than the owner of the document wants to use it, they need to get permission. This stops people from taking other people’s work and passing it off as their own. If permission is not given to use it, that is breaking the law. If something is copyright free that means that you can find the image online, somewhere such as Google.

If a photographer takes photos of someone they need to sign a form allowing the photographer to do what they want with the images. If the photographer did not get permission and proceeded to use the photo, they would be breaking the law.

Students are able to use images in their work however if they wish to use lots of images they would need to request permission or show that they are using someone else’s images.

A trade mark is a recogisable design that identifies products from a particular source. The trademark owner can be an individual, business or legal entity.

Unit 30, Task 2, P2



Graphic type
Describe how the graphic is constructed and why you chose the graphic type
How will the final file be saved?
Internet graphic

Bitmap
Bitmap graphics are made up of small squares of colour, called pixels. They make up the image. This is the best choice for an internet graphic as the image will not be enlarged therefore will not become pixelated.
The final file should be saved as a JPEG.
Van sign graphic

Vector
Vector graphics are not made up of pixels, they are made from points, lines and curves. This is the best type of image for a van sign as the size will be changing and a vector will not become pixelated.
I would save the file as a PDF.
Brochure

Vector and bitmap
A combination of both vector and bitmap graphics would be best to use for this. The writing should be a vector and the pictures should be a bitmap. Also, for the company logo a vector should be used.
To ensure that the file is kept in its original format, I would save it as a PDF.
