What have you learned ?

I have learned a bit of Adobe Premier Pro and how to upload sounds from Free sound on the page. Our photos were uploaded also to create a Stop motion animation with Jenga blocks. We worked in a group of Anne, Leeanne and myself taking photos and all searching for sounds to use.We all worked as a team .

Meaning of a lossy file

Lossy file compression results in lost data and quality from the original version. Lossy compression is typically associated with image files, such as JPEGs, but can also be used for audio files, like MP3s or AAC files. The “lossyness” of an image file may show up as jagged edges or pixelated areas. In audio files, the lossyness may produce a watery sound or reduce the dynamic range of the audio.

Because lossy compression removes data from the original file, the resulting file often takes up much less disk space than the original. For example, a JPEG image may reduce an image’s file size by more than 80%, with little noticeable effect. Similarly, a compressed MP3 file may be one tenth the size of the original audio file and may sound almost identical. It removes pixels out of similar colour.

Web Content – Copyright and questions Outcome 1

COPYRIGHT is a legal right created by law that grants the creator of an original work the exclusive rights to its use and distribution. Copyright applies to most artistic works, such as paintings, murals, statues, TV shows, music, and for us, photography. As a photographer, it gives you the exclusive right to make and sell copies of the photo; to create derivative works (other art based on the photo, such as a painting of the photo); to display the photo in public; and to license usage for money to other people. In a sense, copyright doesn’t give you anything, it really just affects other people, saying what they can’t do, thus It’s known as a “negative right.”

How To Copyright A Piece Of Work Or Image

You can copyright an image or a piece of work by sending off a postal application or online. Online is cheaper, faster and will provide immediate coverage on all of your work. But, if you have large amounts of work to be copyrighted or you have a slow internet connection, go for the postal option.

If you do it online, you upload all the files you want to be copyrighted. If you do it by post, you send off a CD or DVD or USB drive which store the photos you want to be registered.

HTML and CSS

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. HTML and CSS work together because they are the program codes for websites that a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) uses to generate a page. It affects the layout of the page, the interactive elements and animations.

Image Optimization 

Image Optimization is a name for saving file types. PNG is a lossless format so when you reduce the size of the image, the quality stays the same. Unlike a JPG file which gets image artifacts and loses detail.

Lossless and lossy compression are terms that describe whether or not, in the compression of a file, all original data can be recovered when the file is uncompressed. Lossy file formats include: MP3, MP4, AAC, WMA, Ogg and image formats such as JPEG.

An example of a bad Website

http://www.ahfireplaceinstallers.co.uk 

This is the link to a website that I think is bad.

The website is not full size and the bar on the left side is very badly laid out. With some of the text squashed in and other areas big spaces. The punctuation used is bad,being inserted in wrong places and no full stop. The layout of the boxes are not the same size. Not much information of the stock that they have but the colours used  seem alright. Doesn’t do the business justice and the avert in paper better.

Example of a bad Website

http://www.mckissocks-carpets.co.uk/  This website in my opinion Mckissocks Carpets @Homestyle is a bad website as this site is very basic and if you were looking for examples of carpets and vinyl doesn’t actually show the stock or prices. So you do not actually benefit from visiting their website at all . They seem to want you to visit the store but doesn’t entice you to go. Even though the background and colours are acceptable, it doesn’t connect with the theme of their company.
