  Selection and Justification: Logo Option Selectio Justification s n Logo File Type Jpeg Gif Although Gif has limited colour Gif pallete, in this situation, where we PNG will use limited colours, this Psd limiting factor is irrelevant. Gif produces better sharp lines than jpeg for images of this type. PSD is not a suitable iamge type as it is not standardised enough. PNG would be another suitable option, as it has similar features to gif, however, is not as standardised as gif. Therefore, since gif would produce a better quality, sharper image, which is highly standardised, this format will be

  Options Selection Justification Logo A analogou Although the Contrasting colour Colour (analogous) s scheme seems to be more fun, B the analogous theme is more (Contrasting proffessional and easier to view. ) Most people (90%) that we surveyed regarding this preffered the analogous one over the contrasting. As part of our SOI, one of our goals was to appear proffcessional, and in line with this, the analgous logo scheme is more suitable. analogous Contrasting Images from Beaird, J (2007) Principles of Beautiful Web Design, Site Point

  Options Selection Justification Logo CYMK RGB As most of the companys Colour RGB business is done online, with Profile little in print, RGB is a more appropriate colour profile, due to its’ closer reflection of colours on computer monitors than CYMK, which is designed more for print. For those elements that are printed, we will still stay with RGB, as we do not want to have two different colour versions of our logo for practical usage reasons. Since most of our business is online, the slight improvement in quality of colour by using CYMK for print is not relevant to us. RGB will be used whenever the logo is used.

  Options Selection Justification The Draw by Draw in Illustrator is the best option here, production hand and illustrator as it creates the best solid line of the logo scan vector art. A sketch will be drawn Draw in for communication and as a illustrator template for the higher quality Draw in illustrator file, which will be photoshop imported into illustrator to trace by hand. This will be done as this allows us to more freely and easily focus on design in the process of hand drawing. Tracing this in illustrator allows for better reproduction of straight lines, and will look more proffessional than a sketch, and will also be better for production of text.

  Options Selection Justification Text Use existing Create Creation of our own font will font own font allow us to get the exact font Create own that we need. Since our logo is font what people will recognise of our company, the text is a major contribution to that, and we want the text to be recognisable to our company (like the Disney font is to disney) Process of Font Lab Font Allows more control over font creating Studio Forge creation than the online font font (US$600) generator, and FontLab, Font Forge although industry standard, is (free) beyond the budget for this Online Font project.

  When formatting textfor a website a developer must use a font size that is easy to read and not too small. They must also consider the font colour as it may be hard to read against certain background colours. Font types may not be available to some users, so a common font type is safer to use. Some font types can be hard to read unless large in size. Use a font type that is easy to read in a small font size, preferably in serif fonts, as it is easier to read on screen
