The Difference between gif, RAW, JPEG, PNG, etc

-


There are many differences between these file formats. For example, RAW files are processed directly from the camera’s sensor, which makes them not use compression due to the fact that they are loss less and makes the images extremely high-quality. They show more shades of colours and better representation of white balance, contrast, exposure  etc. In addition, changes made to RAW files are non-destructive. Only the meta data that controls the rendering is altered, but the original file data remains untouched.


GIF, or Graphics Interchange Format, is great  for graphics and visuals with animation and many web designers use them to create a sharp-eyed line artworks such as simple logos and banners. Unfortunately there's a downside to using  GIF files, the data compression makes it an extremely loss,which makes it not recommended for photos.
PGN or better known as Portable Network Graphics, was originally created as a replacement for GIF and is mostly used by photographers and graphic designers. When you save and reopen images, a lot information is retained and that's because the format supports loss less data. You can easily overlay a PNG image into a background which helps it maintain transparency and give the overall photo or graphics a 3D quality. 
JPEG, or Joint Photographic Experts Group, is mostly used by most digital cameras as their default format, Its  the most common file type which can be used online or for hard prints. A drawback of JPEG files is that unlike PNG files, the layers of a JPEG file are flattened. That means you have very limited ability to fix past edits. Even worse, if you edit the same file several times, the edited image may become worse than the original.

Difference between 300ppi and 72ppi

-
Image
   When you need to print a picture, you need a 300ppi resolution in order for it to have a high resolution and for it to look professional. When you are inserting a picture in a webpage, you need a 72ppi resolution so it doesn't look too bright. For example, when printing out the two pictures, the one with 300ppi resolution was a good picture because since it had a high resolution, you were able to see the picture clearly as if it was a regular picture and not something that was printed. Compared to the 72ppi resolution, which was too dim and you weren't able to distinguish things very clearly.

Lab 6 Reflection

-

For lab 6 we had to use what we learned in lab 4 to animate a box in the same way. I t was basically like a redo of lab 5 but with a stop button included. Although, in this lab we had to include a “stop” button which, when pressed, will stop the animation currently in progress. For example, if you clicked on the move animation, originally, the box would move from its initial position to wherever it’s ending position is. With the stop button you can stop the animation halfway through so the box only moves halfway to were it was supposed to be. The set up for this is the same to the lab 4. First, we create the stop button in HTML whilst giving it an ID so that we can call it with a JQuery selector. In your javascript file you add an event listener to the stop button. Then if the button is pressed you use the built in JQuery function “.stop()” which stops the animations.

CTE Expo

CTE expo is a way for communicating to the freshman. As well as to show the freshman what we do in the web design academy. To prepare, we created a board showing off the business cards which is one of the many projects that you do In the first year of the web design academy. I presented my board a few teachers and some students in order to receive their attention.  I was able to convince a few students into joining the web design academy. And I was able to present without surprisingly having a anxiety, hehe. In order to improve, I can include more information about what the academy is about and how it is based on my current experiences. I felt that it went very well and a bit as planned
