- Introduction:
This coursework aims/targets at producing a poster, leaflet and a headed letter using Microsoft Word for making a good headed letter and a good leaflet, and Microsoft PowerPoint for making an effective poster. These few pages are divided into five main parts:
- Identify: Describes all the software and hardware used to complete this task.
- Analyze: Describes what is needed and why. It also views some comments and ideas.
- Design: Appropriate designs are drawn with all the features described. It is also divided into PC Design, Flow Charts, and Hand Drawn Designs.
- Use/Implement: A part where the design become true, the work is produced, and tested.
- Evaluation: How effective the work is and who do you think is going to use your work.
- Identify:
The place below describes the hardware and software that I will use to have my project done:
- A monitor is an important output hardware, a monitor screen consists of very tiny dots called pixels, these pixels are divided into three colours (Red, Green, and Blue). When a specific amount of electricity goes through these pixels, they change colours; these colours are shown on screen as images, writings, programs, windows, etc.
- I will use a scanner to transfer real images into the computer. A scanner works when rays of light are reflected from the paper to a small camera that is sensitive to colours, and transmits all the colours in a data format to the computer.
- A keyboard is the second most useful item, when you press a key; the keyboard gives a coded number (such as o11ooo11). The CPU receives that number and changes it into a letter (01100011=a), and I will use it to include writings into my database assignment.
- The most useful hardware I will use is the mouse, it is very useful and simple to use. A mouse cursor moves when you move a mouse, the ball in the mouse moves which controls a laser beam that flashes into a device similar to an LDR (Light Dependant Resistor) to give orders of moving the mouse, and it will be used to control my cursor and build up my database.
- A Hard disk stores information when data are travelled through cables in the CPU.A Hard Disk consists of several surfaces, which are divided into tracks magnetically sensitive. The read/ write head writes on these tracks magnetically. So, you can obtain data from Disk whenever you want.
- A floppy disk is a good way of back-upping my files in case of loss or damage. It works in a way similar to the Hard Disk, the read/ write head writes and reads to/from a floppy disk’s tracks.
- I will use Microsoft Word for accomplishing my work and text writings will be mixed with images, and Microsoft PowerPoint for the poster because it has a lot of good tools, such as drawing, background effects, etc.
- I can use Microsoft Word for my poster but I preferred Power Point because it’s a lot easier and more powerful.
- I will use the command insert, picture, from file, to transfer the Outlook logo to my project, as well as I used font size 14 and 16,some are bold and normal with abit underlining. In addition, I used the Times New Roman writing style because it’s very clear.
- I used a laser jet printer because it prints out better than any normal printer, but I was only able to print black and white.
- I used the tabs to separate writings in a clear way, e.g. Leaflet.
