8 Clubs

Basically this is my creation....



Create 8 of clubs in Paint.


I saved my work first as a 24 bit map and then as a monochrome.


The file size of these files are:

• 24 bit map : 7.56KB



• monochrome: 180KB

Why do you think there is a difference in the file size?

The 24 bit map uses a wide variety of colours whereas monochrome uses just black and white so that is why the 24 bit map is the largest one.

The icons of Paint

Select

The select is the anti free-form select because this makes a selection of a picture in a rectangular shape.




Eraser/Colour Eraser

The eraser basically erases your mistakes as on a image or text.




Fill with colour

Fill with colour means to fill a gap with your wanted colour in your wanted spot.




Pick colour

For this one you can basically pick the colour you desire.




Magnifier


The magnifier makes the picture bigger. You can also use the magnifier to erase. What you do is you click the eraser and then click the magnifier and your eraser turns bigger and it saves time erasing with a small rubber.


Pencil

The Pencil draws whatever you would like it to draw, but you control it via your mouse.


Airbrush

The airbrush is basically a brush but it is lifted in the air and painted.

Text

For text you would have to insert the box where you would want writing and then you can put your text.


Line

Line is basically drawing a simple line in however way you want it to.


Rectangle

A rectangle is a recatngle drawn on paint.

Monday 9 February 2009



1. How many forms of digital media surrounds us?

Some forms of digital media that surround us are:

• The Internet



• Digital Television



• Cellphones



• compact disc



• e-book
  

2. What number system is digital media based on? What two digits are used to code all digital data?

Digital data is based on Binary numeral system and the 2 digits are 0 and 1.

3. What is a bit? What is a byte?

The terms bit and byte are common in computer networking. Both terms refer to digital data transmitted over a network connection. A byte is the memory capacity of a typical personal computer that runs from millions to billions of byte.

4. What is "sampling rate"? Find an image from that explans how sampling works.

Sampling rate determines the sound frequency range which can be represented in the digital waveform.

5. How does colour depth or bit depth effect the appearance of an image? Find some images to illustrate the effect.

Higher colour depth or bit depth gives a broader range of distict colours.

6. Colour depth effects both still and video digital media. Sampling rate only effects video but not still media. Can you explain.

The difference between colour depth and sampling rate is that sampling rate doesn't have the effect to video digital media. The reason for this is that colour depth has more of a variety.
