Consist of blank pages for drawing or painting that is often used by artists and designers as part of their creative process. It is concerned with documenting what was observed from the real world that that can be translated into an art form, an inspiration, or basis for a project.

With the advent of technology, computers are now used to translate imaginations and creativity in digital format that may be used in a variety of projects. It preserves creative output and it speeds up distribution via internet.

After a series of conceptualization and designing, the layout design may be printed to check whether the font style, size, color scheme and the smallest details you have included matches the overall theme of your project.

In terms of design and graphics, Adobe is the current leader and shows no sign of decreasing popularity. For digital prints PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign are leaders in this area. For motion graphics, effects and mobile design, AfterEffects, Animate and Xd are popular choices

was once dominated with the use of pencil and hand-drawn drawings, but now computers play a major role in the industry. Artist working in the field are not only required to have creative skills in drawing but also computer skills. The idea is automate or play specified images at a faster pace in order to project a continuous motion.

The use of computers has benefited the design industry in terms of speeding and creating a more appealing visual content for advertising and other promotional materials. G

An artist may create digital illustration under direct manipulation with the use of a some computer peripherals.

product of CGI or computer generated imagery.

With the use of computers and photo editing software, it’s possible to restore and enhance captured images to better attract clients and sell the product faster

Also known as the CPU or Central Processing Unit, and is considered as the brain of the computer that carries out the instructions of computer programs stored in the memory

4 primary operations of the CPU

carries out arithmetic and logic operations

a coprocessor designed to carry out operations on floating-point numbers

a location built to a computer’s processor that speeds the execution of computer programs by providing quick access to data of specific calculation

also called the primary cache is a memory built into the processor responsible for storing recently accessed information

also called Level 2 cache stores data that are not stored in L1 cache

needed to preserve variety of files during the development process.

Only the data and instructions for which the machine is actually operating are stored in primary memory.

It uses constant power supply to store data in transistors.

sram

Capacitors are used to store data in this type of memory.

dram

Common Types of DRAM

a computer memory developed by Rambus

supports data transfer on both edges of a clock cycle (rising and falling edges) double the data it transmits.

a type of memory that synchronizes itself to the system clock that the CPU is optimized.

Types of Memory Modules

has a 32-bit data bus where pins present on either side are connected.

both sides of this memory module is consist of separate electrical contacts that doubles the 32-bit data bus of a SIMM to 64-bit.

small outline of the regular DIMM use for netbooks and notebooks

A non-volatile computer memory use to store multimedia files, and install applications. In a computer system it may refer to hatd drives and sold state drives

An electro-mechanical data storage system abbreviated as HD or HDD that uses magnetic storage and one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material to store and retrieve digital data.

Modern computers often use SSD as its primary storage, leaving HDD as the secondary storage

Any peripheral device used to provide data and control signals to an electronic device, such as a computers, tablets, and mobile phones.

Devices that displays or deliver processed information to users. Processed information/data may be in a variety of formats which includes audio, video, displays, and even hard copy media for physical reproduction.

a types of printer that sprays tiny dots of ink onto paper to form images, and texts

uses a laser unit that fires to a mirror to draw the shape of an image (text, shapes, images, etc.) generated in the computer

an impact printer that prints images, or text using a pin that strikes an ink￾coated ribbon

The actual processor responsible from the rendering of 3D graphics, creation of visual effects and computer generated scenes

Types of GPUs

Does not come on a separate card and is embedded alongside the CPU. E.g. Intel Iris Plus and Intel Iris X graphics

is a distinct chip typically mounted to a PCI Express slot
