OCR GCSE Business & Communication Task 7 Report

Task 7 Reports Task 1a: Logo Software: The software I used was Adobe Fireworks CS3. I used Fireworks because it offered a wide range of tools and textures. For my logo to stand out and be able to have anything it required I had to use this programme. I also have a lot of background use and knowledge of this programme, which meant I could use it more efficiently and effectively. Other programmes such as Photoshop or Microsoft Word do not offer such tools and would degrade my logo altogether. I could have used a variety of programmes such as Photoshop or Freehand, these are both programmes, which could have fulfilled my requirement, but lack in certain tools and effects. These programme lack in quality tools and would overall reduce the professionalism of my work. Photoshop offers tools for changing and editing pictures, this is not suitable as my logo had to be original and have new ideas published into it. Freehand does not suit the needs of my task as it is based upon opposite targets of my logo. My logo had to be original and incorporate a lot of professional and advert sable ideas and I think using these programmes, I would not be able to achieve these targets. I am confident I used the right programme, as 'Adobe Fireworks' is very effective in creating new ideas and adding personal preferences towards it. It also has a wide range of colour effects and variety

Different types of technology How I use ICT at home and at school

Unit 3a - Different types of technology How I use ICT at home and at school In our current generation, the advances of mankind have been significantly massive. With technology such as laptops, iPads and such, old fashioned technology has been deemed insignificant. Just an iPad would have the capability blowing away the greatest technology from, for example, 10 or so years ago. And thus, technology is constantly being used; from ways to help advance and develop the world further on to being used for personal relief/enjoyment. But what benefits can we gain from using these technologies and why do we constantly use and depend on them over and over? Well, there are many different advantages to using technology and well as different uses the basics being - personal usage, social usage and home usage and each of these uses have their different benefits. Personal usage covers uses that benefit mostly the user him/herself, whether that may be at work, at home or even on the road. Social usage covers uses which are not only beneficial to the user him/herself, but also involves society with different interactions with the user and other members of society, whether on a social networking site or an instant messaging service. And lastly, home usage covers uses which are simply used at home whether that may be for comfort, general purposes or just for entertainment. Technology

Database Hajj&Umrah travel agency

DATABASE PROJECT ANALYSIS Identification THE PROBLEM In the past few weeks there have been a few complications and problems with the database in the Hajj & Umrah travel agency called Elkadi Tours. This is the problem that the manager at the agency in Central London has approached me with. These agency chains have been running for roughly fifteen years and this particular agency has been running for ten years, with hardly any complaints. The manager, Mr. Osman Yusuf has suggested that I make a database, which could hold all of the various parts of the information needed for everyday applications for various visas and tickets. There have been various problems concerning ticket and visa application. This is what I am here to try and sort out. The problem is becoming quite serious now and the respectable agency chain is starting to lose business because of the businesses faults. At the moment, the chain is using a filing cabinet, which is not a very good idea because people cannot read each other's writing and then the staff are trying to book tickets when that particular airline is fully booked or visas have been re-applied for this is becoming time-consuming for the respective company. This cannot keep going on as complaints have been now encountered. Another problem is that the file paper is easy to lose and the booking sheets often become dirty and then illegible.

This is because it Is quicker and more efficient. the booking software needs to have valid, up-to-date patient records with their doctors. It needs to have a valid date and time for booking an appointment. The software needs to also be protected to ensure that outsiders do not obtain these records and/or change details. .1 Identifying Problem and Solution a) Identify the problem to be solved (A02.11) There are several problems, which need to be solved. The centre does not have the correct hardware of software that should be used. The health centre requires an electronic system rather than one on paper. The receptionist cannot keep writing out appointments, as it is very time consuming. It is hard to correct invalid date and the receptionist's handwriting may not be legible. This is why computer-based software is better and more efficient. The software that will be used also needs to be a new one as it is difficult using the older, less developed software.
