Unit 30 P2

Vehicles- Vector images should be used on vehicles; this is due to the fact that instead of using pixels (blocks of colour) they are made of line, curves and shapes, meaning that when you enlarge the image it doesn’t lose any quality. If you used a bitmap image, when enlarge it would become very pixelated and lose quality. Images made with adobe illustrator are vector images, and are saved as ai files.

Website- JPG images should be used for websites; this is down to the fact that they are low in file size, they hold colours well and load at a reasonably high speed. Meaning the website page will load faster than if you were vector images. GIF images are the best type of image to go for if you have things such as logo’s and diagrams etc. as they are flat images and have solid colours. PNG is a newer type of image format and therefore have more features, but because they’re new not many browsers support them.

Flyers- Bitmap, JPG, GIF or even vector images can be used on flyers, this is due to the size of the picture, it will be relatively small and therefore won’t lose any quality. 

The flyers should be saved as a PDF file for ease of printing, but should be converted to a DTP file.

The software used to make flyers is called Publish-it. this is why the flyers have to be used as a DTP file as that's the only type of file that works with Publish it.
