A01 Task 1
I am an ICT specialist. I have worked for Dixons, Curry's, Comet and PC World. I have worked for many years and I am still working as an ICT specialist. I am a friend of John's dad, and he has asked me to get a computer to assist him in his A-Levels. He is currently decided to do ICT, Art/Design, and German for his A-levels.
For ICT, a computer is a necessity for doing his work. For Art/Design, a graphic tablet and art programs are needed. For his German pronunciation of words and phrases, Rosetta Stone(r) is required; A German translator is also required.
As John likes playing online games like Runescape, A fast and simple Internet connection is needed, so that John's games can easily and smoothly run. As he likes emailing, Microsoft Outlook and Windows Live Messenger are needed.
Microsoft Publisher is needed to make the flyers that he makes to hand out to people that he makes and a printer to print them out.
He needs a Music Generator, like FL Studio, to produce his original music. He also likes to listen to Girls Aloud, Windows Media Player 11 would be sufficient to play all his music.
He likes photography, a digital camera and Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended will assist him in editing his photos. ULead Video Studio 11 Plus is needed so that he can create home movies, upload the videos, then edit the videos he has made with transitions and effects and background music to his videos.
His college uses Office 2007 and Office Professional 2007 is the best one so an installation CD is needed.
