3 Read the text and answer the questions.

Greyscale is an image-editing tool. You can convert colour images to black and white. It gives the image a
classic, timeless look. Sepia is another technique, but this provides warm brown tones. Originally it was
a method of film developing that removed the silver from a negative to prevent the image from fading.
The result was that instead of providing a black and white image, it produced a sepia one instead.

1 Read the text and answer the questions.
The term graphic design is said to have been
created in 1922 by the designer, illustrator
and artist William Dwiggins (1880-1956).
Today graphic design can be art itself, or more
commonly the creating of attractive designs,
particularly for advertising and marketing.
Graphic design aims to enhance knowledge and
visual messages by improving the overall layout
of text and images. Computers have become a
vital tool, but many creators still prefer to use
traditional methods.

Pre-press jobs have been greatly affected by changes in technology. Many of the older methods
have been replaced by computerized digital imaging technology. This technology allows pre-press
technicians to receive material via a computer file. After that they can format the material into pages
using an electronic page layout system. A copy of this can be generated and used as a proof for checking.

Logos need to be able to be reduced in size and still be recognizable. It should be possible to photocopy
them or reproduce them in greyscale (in black and white). The shape is important; it should normally
have the same height and width. Logos should be representative of the organization and the employees.
They should also appeal to the target market. Logos represent the identity of the organization, so it is
important to know how and where the logo will be used.

When a business enters into a relationship with a designer they must both agree a number of important
items. A prime consideration is the budget available to the designer. The business will have to take into
account their internal resources required, as well as agreeing with the designer how any additional costs
will be handled. The designer will provide an estimate, but it will have to be agreed whether this is a fixed
price, an hourly rate or a ‘price not to exceed’ figure.

Graphic design employers often provide in-house or external training in specific aspects of the job, such
as presentation skills. Graphic designers are expected to keep up to date with the latest trends in the
industry. Junior designers can progress in a number of ways in a business, or they can join a creative
agency. Graphic designers can also specialize in a particular field, such as packaging or magazine design.
Many designers work on a freelance basis and there may be opportunities for experienced designers to
work in different countries, for example in Europe or the United States.
