Monitor : For the monitor a LCD monitor would be best used for the high resolution images. Since most images these days are 5 megapixels or higher, it would be better to have a new and a monitor capable of holding high resolution images. This is why I think I would need a liquid crystal display monitor when working with digital images.

HDD: When storing the image I would not need a large hard drive since images are usually a maximum of 1.2 MB and the usual hard drive on computers are 120 GB minimum. The software wouldn’t be a large amount of space needed so it shouldn’t be a problem. You can either store the image by either an internal or external drive like the hard drive below

For the logo I used the outer glow in photoshop to give the glowing effect to the image this makes the image stand out. The image above shows the outerglow process. The logo meets all the requirments that the client and the user specified.
This image shows the logo on a lava lamp, and the logo really stands out on the lamp which was required in the user specification. Also the image is a jpeg and under 5mb.
In this image the logo really stands out because it is on a white lamp again which was required in the user specification, the image is also jpeg and less than 5mb.
