This report is intended to inform you of the hardware and
software required for a prosperous and efficacious graphics business also
expressing the advisability in providing our business with a loan. The
following will also consist of the price of each individual product in addition
to the purchase location along with many different reflective reviews
concerning this product.
To begin with, our Graphics Company will need the basic
necessities such as a USB, the USB comes in many different dimensions, some
based on how much they can hold. The USB is reliable due to how portable the
device is, as well as its storage capacity to hold various different files.
Overall a USB is needed for the portability to take files around with ease, and
to store files, for example those of upcoming projects for clients of the
graphic design agency. The product that is beneficial to purchase is the
SanDisk flash drive which features burst write speeds up to 10MB this then
reducing the time employees spend waiting for files to save. In addition with
up to 64GB in storage capacity and its compact design to support
portability specifications, its ability to accommodate the high-resolution
photos, HD videos, scanned documents, and other data that is specific to the
Graphics Industry, it is needed. The price of this product is £39.99 which is
available on Amazon.
Secondly the IMac is required due to factors like the
Apple’s font and colour handling and bright displays which make the Apple IMac
ideal for design work. The apple IMac’s properties make its quality from screen
to print impeccable; this sort of standard would be needed to start the
business on good terms, and would be beneficial economically. This would be
needed in our business to promise high quality work to our customers, and has
long term benefits despite the cost, which is that of £1,699.
As well as the iMac, the MacBook Pro is also need; this has
all the qualities of the apple iMac but can be transported as it is a laptop,
software can be opened and edited on the go with the security of files being
backed up on the other apple device at the workplace. This is important as
meetings can be held with clients for future investments; therefore the
business’s work would need to be presented wherever , whenever. With running a
graphics design company the MacBook Pro offers a faster hard disk and more Ram
with the quality of the device , the reliability of the MacBook including
other favoring prospects, represents the reasons shown previously as
to why this device is needed. This coming in at £1,249.To add to these
product's reliability and productivity the Mac time machine has a built in
backup which can also work with your external drive, this will ensure
that the entire Mac will be backed-up , including system files ,
applications , accounts , photos , email messages, preferences and documents.
Due to the time machine making a copy of every file it enables employees to be
sure that work is available if a possible technology device is apparent.
The Mac Magic mouse, as part of other apple input devices is
a wireless mouse that enables employees to move with ease for things such as
editing logos to other specific requirements, to add, in case of loss from the
graphics tablets stylus, the magic mouse can be used just the same. This is
also beneficial for quality of work and presentation to possible clients,
including advertisements due to its smooth running. In addition, as part of
apples products, software such as IPhoto, ICal and other useful software could
be used on both devices. As this shows , the properties of apple's products are
reliable , well -functioning and quality pieces of hardware , perfect for a
upcoming design business. This product individually costing £59.
The Wacom Graphics Tablet is actually used to create the
graphic designs; digital drawings are produced by drawing on the tablet with a
stylus that then transfers that drawing onto a laptop or PC monitor at the same
time, this creates the ease of drawing with a pencil, rather than the
unfamiliarity of drawing without that. This is needed because it’s the basis of
the graphics design, without the tablet and means of drawing digitally; it
limits the types of designs that can be made. This is £1678 at its lowest.
For quality images , the EOS 100D Canon Camera would be
ideal with its abilities to produce 'High- Quality low noise photography'
, due to it being highly compacted , it is almost limitless as to where it
could be taken , widening the range and ease of taking equipment to
design destinations. Describing the use the canon can also automatically
analyse your scene and selects the best setting which is beneficial when time
is concerned, especially within business. The price of this being £450.
Obviously in Graphics design a good quality printer will be
needed in this case the Canon Pixma MG5350, this can print good quality rich pictures,
with all different types of ink settings for different situations, this is also
a basic necessity as ideas and actually completed work will need to be
printed out , depending on the customers format choice. This is £89, worth the
price.
Overall, the hardware i have chosen is those of high
quality and high abilities in terms of running software and other prospects. In
the overall working process of a graphics design business, the
Graphics Card will need to be sufficient enough to function high resolution graphics,
taking this into consideration i have chosen the devices that will be able to
run properly and sufficiently. To run a prosperous graphics business these are
the necessary requirements, I hope that the points made in this report
will highlight as to why the hardware that is desirable will be chosen, in
terms of the loan that may be given.
