Line: This tool allows you to create straight lines. there are different thickness to choose from.

Curve: This tool allows you to draw smooth curved lines with the thickness of your choice

Rectangle: This tool allows you to create perfect rectangles. (holding shift whilst using this allows you to do perfect squares)

Polygon: This tool allows you to create any polygon.

Ellipse: This tool allows you to make perfect ovals. (holding shift allows you to make perfect circles)

Rounded Rectangle: This tool allows you to create rounded rectangles

my awesome digital art.

In draw programs (e.g. inscape) you can seperate and move objects so you can always edit your artwork. Usually these artworks tend to be cartoon-like.
Whilst in paint programs (e.g. Paint) you edit each pixel and there is no objects. However these artworks can tend to look photorealistic.

btw all my artworks are copyright © LOL :)

I created this artwork on http://imagination3.com/ :)
It was fun to play around with the shapes and stamps to make picture and yeah this is what I came up with (Y) I would say the tools here are pretty limited compared to photoshop or inkscape but a pretty cool site :)

I created this artwork on http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/. It was fun playing with the bucket of paint tool because it just puts a splodge of paint where ever you click (as you can see ^) I would say that the tools here a pretty limited aswell but still a fun site to go on (Y)


I created this artwork on a program called Inkscape. Inkscape is an AWESOME program because it can turn any amateur drawing into a good one with its wide range of tools. Aswell as all the cool tools there's a wide range of colours and effects to choose from too. Thumbs up (Y) LOL.
I made a cow :)

Digital Media

Many forms of digital media surround us each day. These include:

-Digital audio --> like the songs from an mp3 or ipod
-Digital video --> e.g. from a dvd
-Digital pictures --> like from a digital photo frame
-Digital games --> e.g. Wii
-Digital data --> e.g. USB drives, internet
-Digital signal -->TV programs

Digital data is based on the binary numeral system. This uses a series of "0"s and "1"s to code all digital data.

A bit is single numeric value that programs a piece of digital information. ("1" or "0") A byte is a sequence of bits (usually 8 bits = 1 byte).

A sampling rate is the rate that samples of an analog signal are received to be converted into digital form. A sampling rate is typically expressed in samples per second.

Colour depth (also known as bit depth) can affect the clearness or the definition of an image. Colour depth describes the number of bits representing the colour of a single pixel in an image. As the number of bits increase so does the variations of colours thus making the image more clear.

Colour depth affects both still and video digital media. This is because both video and still deigital media possess shades of colours. Sampling rate only affects video but not still digital media. This is because video media can send signals whilst still media can't. ---> not sure about this answer
