P2 Unit 35.

Local band: Bitmap graphics, file type .png - I choose this file type because it is usually used on the internet. I choose ".png" because its the newest graphics in bitmap format & quite basic.

Builder: Vector graphics, file type .svg - I choose file type because you can put flat colours and simple graphics into a logo in a compact vector form.

Nursery: Bitmap & Vector graphics, file type .PDF - I choose this because most Nursery Logo's have writing and a image yet the writing looks very detailed this would be good for a nursery.
