-i used the blur tool to blur the skin because alot of the edges are Sharpe and so now i have blended it into the picture.

-i used the robber too to make the original picture come through so it look like my real picture.

-i used the flip tool to get the face i wanted to insert was not the right way, this then made the effect look more realistic.

-i used the text tool to make the name of my band stand out, i used pink for the love heart to make it more colourful and to make it stand out.

This is the colour depth options I choose the default option although it is simple it has the best effect for the picture other options distorted the picture and effected the overall picture quality. Although a slight change in colour maybe would have looked better i felt the option i chose offered the best picture quality. It also has a good download speed which is very important on websites as if it takes to long then it will be ineffective on a website. It also has a good colour resolution. It also depends what you are using the photograph for if i where to have used it for a black and white book then there would be no point having fantastic colour resolution and on a website it is important to have both good download speed and good colour resolution.

courtney said to me that on my poster it didnt look good and proper because it had the names wrote just anywhere along the page, so i have edited my work and removed names.

Intellectual property is divided into two categories:  Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source but the copy right law involves novels, books etc. Also it is a legal concept; it is enforced by most governments. It gives the creator of the original piece of work exclusive rights. It is normally only for a limited of time. The copy right law also enables protection over work. Having rights over your work means that people cannot copy your piece and use it. The length of copyright protection may vary from country to country, but it usually lasts for the life of the author plus 50 to 100 years. For example if i used someones album cover on my website it would be against the law.

Htc Specs:

4.7inch screen

highly responsive touch screen

8mp camera

6 hour battery life

I also think that the HTC sensation xl is a very good phone and it could also be used by the student but I chose the Samsung galaxy s2 as the battery last longer so the student can access the internet while he has long days at school but otherwise they are very similar.

 nokia tablet specs:

3 hour battery life

width 3inches

bluetooth

I think the nokia tablet could also be used by the reporter because it is small light and would take photographs and he could just simply send them but the only problem is that the iPod 2 has a better camera and seeing how this is so important to the photographer I chose the ipad 2

 Ipod touch specs:

highly responsive touch screen

apple aplications

8gb memory

internet acssesable

camera

The ipod touch is a very good choice and I would have chosen this over the Sony walkman but I had to take the owner into consideration and the factory worker could be not very good with technology and the walkman has a larger memory

 Apple laptop specs:

camera

quick internet

you can link with other apple products

video calls

I chose the hp pavilion over the apple laptop as the pavilion its easier to work and it has a better camera for video calls this is overall better for the builder as he does not know a lot about technology
