HOW TO SAVE:

internet graphics - save them as a JPEG so they can get viewed on all devices.

large format graphics – basically you would save these pictures as either a JPEG, GIF and the original.

The original – would be best for a poster

JPEG – would be best for a leaflet

GIF – would be best for a book illustration

Leaflet suitable graphics – saving thing as a JPEG which is after all best for leaflets.

If my business could improve I would try and get the latest technology to upgrade and it might get even more people to join the business and then money wouldn’t really be a problem.

Since the business is growing bigger I would include more of the latest technology like better apple mac computers and better, higher quality projectors and cameras for graphic designs.

you would need to justify the choice of tools because there are certain things you need to use for your photo edit, like if you want to cut out something from a photo you can use the magno lasso tool which cut out the pixels of the picture you need.

Another tool you would need to use is the text tool to add text to your design. For example if you were making a book cover like this

Here I used both text and the magno lasso tool to create this design.

Another tool that was used in this design is the fade too and I selected the boy in the middle of the thorns and faded him out a little.

They are a few of the main tools you can use in photo shop so do try to experiment them all.

You can send contacts from one phone to another by texting the contacts number to the person who wants that number. All you need to do it copy and paste the contacts number and send it to the person, but make sure you get permission off of that person before you send their number.

The negative of all this is, someone can get your number and it can be someone you don't know who it is and you think your friend is on the other end of the phone if your texting them. Also if you keep your Bluetooth on, someone can end up hacking your phone and take all of your data and contacts from your phone.

Common safety issues using blogsites

There are many common safety issues using blog sites like, giving out your personal information (e.g. addresses, numbers, bank account numbers), where you like to go, what school you go to, passwords, email addresses, etc.

All these common issues can cause people hacking into your account and them getting hold of even more personal information and can take over your account so you won’t be able to access it anymore.

It is highly recommended that you make strong passwords for you account and not leave yourself logged on when you are not using a computer because people can simply change your password so only they can get into your account and you can’t.

Also you shouldn’t reply to any emails from strangers because sooner or later they will find a way to hack into your account and take all your personal data.
