Ezine Interview brief

Today i was asked to create designs and content for the MAPA student e-zine. I have been asked to research and write articles the success and interests of MAPA students.
I will have to gather relevant content and conduct interviews and submit my work into the electronic magazine. I will also have to create my own version of a layout for the information i find.
I will study interview techniques and note down ways in which to interview people and create a set of questions to ask.

Photography for forbidden planet

I have been asked to work with several people in my class to take photos for the forbidden planet website.
We arranged with the students to meet them to take photos of them to add to the ' Cast page'
This would contain head shots of the students. Photos would be also taken of the characters performing and practicing which would be added to the ' exclusives' page.
Once the photos had been taken we added them to the website. The photos came out as planned and looks great.

E-Media brief

We have been asked to create a website for the bath college performing arts production of ' The forbidden planet'.
We will be creating the website together as a class and each have individual roles to play to create it.
We have analyzed other websites made for musicals before so we have ideas of what works and what doesn't.
'The forbidden Planet ' is set in a space , sci-fi style and therefore the website will have to reflect this.

Online Gaming

Online gaming has developed greatly over the years. Most people used to associate online gaming with just logging onto a website and playing a simple flash game by yourself for 5 minutes. Now we are surrounded by all types of online gaming on different consoles and games. We can now play online games with people across the world and interact with them via typing and even speaking to them via head sets .

I've always been interested in gaming since i was very young, starting with a SNES, ps1, ps2, xbox then PS3 (Currently). I didn't know online gaming existed on consoles until the ps3 and xbox 360 consoles came out and i never used to play games any proper games on PC either as i thought coles were much better.
I remember when i had my ps3 and wasnt really interested in setting it up online however all my friends said that i HAD too get it online as it was so much fun. I set it up and for quite a while became addicted to it. I only played one game online which was CALL OF DUTY which was also the game all of my firends played online also. The fact you could play agasint your firends and other people across the world was fair different to playing a computer and a lot more fun , you got a buzz from it. Call of duty is a first person shoter and there are various games u can play online agasint people such as team deathmatch, Free for all and many more. In each of the games you earn points and move up class's which becomes addictive because you want to be better than friends and other people.
The way in which you can intereact with people makes it like a friends social network. You can add friends and send messages and chat to them through the head set.
I think online gaming is now more popular than ever and hundreds of thousands of people love it ( maybe a bit too much ) Flash games online seem like a thing of the past i think the online gaming community will contiune to grow and develop.

Today i have matched up protocols such as HTPP, VoIP, Skype etc to their descriptions and then learned about them , how they work etc.
We also learned about what happens when we click a hyperlink to another page and how each object has their own job etc the Router and how they all combine together to allow us to view the selected page.
Furthermore we learned about cloud servers which will soon possibly be becoming a large part in internet use.

Lesson 2 on the blog

What is meant by the following;

Raster: Raster graphics image or bitmap, is a data structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, viewable via a monitor, paper, or other display medium

Vector: Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based upon mathematical equations, to represent images in computer graphics .Vector graphics formats are complementary to raster graphics, which is the representation of images as an array of pixels, as it is typically used for the representation of photographic images

Metafile: Metafile is a generic term for a file format that can store multiple types of data. This commonly includes graphics file formats. These graphics files can contain raster, vector, and type data.

What are the differing features and uses of the following;

.jpeg: In computing, JPEG (pronounced JAY-peg; IPA: /ˈdʒeɪpɛg/) is a commonly used method of compression for photographic images. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality.

.gif: The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format. The format supports up to 8 bits per pixel, allowing a single image to reference a palette of up to 256 distinct colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of 256 colors for each frame.

.tiff: Tagged Image File Format (abbreviated TIFF) is a file format for storing images, including photographs and line art. TIFF format is widely supported by image-manipulation applications, by publishing and page layout applications, by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition and other applications.

.png: Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a bitmapped image format that employs lossless data compression. PNG was created to improve upon and replace GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) as an image-file format. PNG was designed for transferring images on the Internet, not professional graphics, and so does not support other color spaces (such as CMYK).
