 A local band would like a logo designed for their website this needs to be combined with their band photo.

-bitmap would be great for this, you can create the logo on adobe photo shop then save it for a website site and changing the type as a jpeg which changes the logo into an image making it easier to add to a website.

 A builder wants some eye catching text for the side of his van to improve business opportunities.

for this, you should use a vector because you can create the text in adobe firework/photoshop but when you put it onto the van the quality is still as good as you created on the computer comes out clearly. you can also edit each word if it doesnt look as good big, even if you enlarge or shrink the words they do not loose quality.


The nursery on your estate would like a flyer designed to promote the facility.

-for this you should use a portable document format (pdf) so that if you create the flyer on microsoft publisher the updated version using pdf people who do not have the updated one will still be able to access the file.

Mines was changing your password regulary to insure it is safe. he negative things about this would be, if your changing your password so many times and you have so much you might  forget it because you will have other passwords in your head, so make sure you write it down every time and it is something simple. 

The positive things about this would mean this is a safe way to have your password, and if you do write it down then you are good and you should be fine, but it really helps to change your password regularly in-case anyone knows it or try and gets on to it.

What mechanisms have been put in place to prevent or control the implications described for P6?


For P6 the problems were back ache, head ache and all of that.
So the methods to prevent all those problems could be measuring the chair so you can sit right and so that you are comftable where you sit and how you sit. Health and safety issues sorted, so that you are happy and you are not getting aches. Also other health and safety issues making sure the computer is in the right position for you to see so it is clear and you can understand it probably. 
Also- Spending too much time on the computer can also affect your social life.  Many people spend less time actually taking to their friends and more time texting and on social networking sites.  Using your computer vast amounts every single day can also cause problems to the environment. It uses electricity which could be used for something more productive. Also many people leave their computers on standby which wastes electricity. 
Spending to much time on the internet can cause cyber bullying, this has been provented because it has all been said so less people have been using the internet.  And this will lead to less cyber bulling across the internet.
Also spending too much time on the computer can seriously damage your eyes, so now less people have came across to using it as much, also making the screen duller than it is can help your eyes, so the computer right infront of you is not lighting through your eyes.

How do protocols and devices keep data safe?



The way to keep your devices safe is very simple you just need to follow very simple steps and be careful what you do, for example you should change your password regularly so ifn a case that you do get hacked or someone discovers your password, you will still be safe and they can not do as much damage as they would have done if they knew it permanently. Also be wary if you give out your vital information that no one is around that could use against you or you do not trust.(i would recommend not telling anyone at all.)  Be careful when you access your email or whatever you need to keep safe make sure you log out because some websites will leave you logged in for the future but someone else could access it.

Most Wi-Fi hubs are encrypted so that you will not be hacked and your information will not get stolen or seen.(Encrypting is a way on concealing information to keep you safe.)
