These are different types of file formats. File formats are orderly sequences of data used to encode digital information for storage or exchange. Digital media files may be large. By compressing them, it makes storing them much easier. When you compress some of the files this may lead to losing the quality of the the media. 

Vectors images are made and displayed within drawing programs. Most vector images include 2 and 3-d drawings, logos and fonts. They are made up of lines, curves and shapes with editable attributes such as colour or fill. Vector images are "resolution independent": they can be reshaped or rescaled without losing quality. 

Bitmap images are created when you take a photograph using a digital camera or scan an image from a magazine.
A bitmap image is made of many parts, called pixels, which are often many different colours. its is possible to edit each individual pixel.
As the computer has to store information about every single pixel in the image, the file size of a bitmap graphic is often quite large.
Resizing a bitmap graphic tends to lose quality.

THE FLASH BANNER
 I've composed my flash banner in After Effects with each section having its
fade in and fade out time, this was made just in case if i decide to put in user control
in, in order for them to select the slide they would like to see.  After exporting the video
in .flv format I've placed it into Adobe's flash, did a bit of coding and exported it to .swf
Later on it was uploaded on joomag.com for my magazine.

THE MAGAZINE

For my Magazine's Title i used dafont.com to find the suitable font for the style i was going for.

The overall design of the magazine is based on black and white theme

with elegant fonts and decals.

 

Sponsor page leave a blank space for the advertisments (flash banner).

The only page that is covered in pictures is the Contents Page.

But it also features black and white theme.

 

The first article should give out that "wow" effect.

Bentley Continental GT and darth vader really do give out

that dark image.

 

I used the double page to make a comparison between Nissan GTR

and Ferrari 458. I made the two pages merge together and split the content

between the pages.

 

The back page. I kept it simple with the magazines logo and a bar code.
