Document Summary

Differences: pixel vs points (don"t memorize table comparison- just understand trends) Design considerations: do"s and dont"s: body of text, # of fonts used, serif vs. sans serif, crap principles. Lecture #3 - using graphics in multimedia: what is sampling and quantizing mean with images, digitization and bits, bytes: definition. Pixels: colour models: rgb vs cmyk, for web vs. printer. Rgb vs hexadecimal: types of graphics: bitmapped vs vector-based. What happens to file size and quality with bitmapped vs vector-based: resolution pertaining to cameras vs screen monitors. File extensions: which file formats are bitmapped vs. vector-based (know a couple of each) File formats to fit the task (jpg- photorealistic; . gif-clipart) Graphics software: drawing programs vs paint programs: design considerations: file size, format, colour resolution, file transfer (uploading, panther and publish area syntax for urls, file. Lecture #4 - using graphics in multimedia: optimization techniques: (a lot of information)
