The 5 Types of Digital Files

TIFF( Tagged Image File Format)- creates large files sizes and contains detailed image data. They are very flexible when it comes to color and content such as layers and image tags.


JPG( Joint Photographic Experts Group)- images that have been compressed to store a lot of information in a small size file. They can take more photos on one camera card than you can  with other formats.


GIF( Graphic Interchange Format)- compresses images and is different to JPG since the compression is lossless


PNG( Portable Network Graphics)- created to replace GIF since no company wanted to pay for licensing fees and provides a better range of color and compression.


RAW- contains data from digital cameras and it's called RAW because the files haven't been processed which means it can't be edited or printed. Also it the files contain a vast amount data that is uncompressed.

Windows vs. Mac

                Both Windows and Mac have their own strengths and weaknesses. today we learned their differences and with that knowledge it helped us compare both softwares and which is better. Mac is better because it's more organized and easier to multi-task. This is because when a tab is closed it doesn't stop running which means you can have work not saved and when close it and reopen it the work is still going to be there. Windows has also certain advantages against Mac like price and compatabilities towards other devices.

Who am I? And why am I here?

                 My name is Jason Jerez and I am 14 years old. I am Ecuadorian and Mexican. I have a family with 2 sisters and a dog. I am a determined and hard working when it comes to school and helping my family. I've worked hard and kept my GPA high so that I have the chance of being part of the Web Design academy.                                                                                                                                          I am here so that I can learn something about technology for my future. Being in Web Design is a huge opportunity in which only selected students have a chance of being a part of. Also in the Web Design academy I would like to learn how to create Webpages professionally and earn experience. In addition, I would like to understand the no copy right system and analyzing photograph.
                                   
            
                 During my time at the Web Design academy I will try my hardest and put all effort  towards assignments and classwork. Furthermore, I am eager to work with my classmates and help each other when needed. I'm hoping to progress in skill and learn something new that will benefit me in my future.
