Legal Issues and Copyright If another person has taken a photo, drawn a drawing, made a movie or made some sort of graphics on their computer, then they have copyright to their works. And unless they give up all copyright (as in they state that others may use their work), what other people can do with the work is limited. Doing something, which could be colouring, distorting or changing it in anyway, does not make it a new creation, and therefore will breach the creator’s copyright. This also ties in with plagiarism, which is the act of stealing another’s work and passing it off as their own. Unless it is obviously meant to be a parody, then taking an image and passing it off as your own, such as the Mona Lisa, you’d be breaching copyright. You can’t copy a website either, even if you change the graphics (such as the colour scheme) or draw your own graphics (as long as you’re obviously copying the other website) or make your scripts, stylesheets or HTML-documents. If your website looks almost exactly like another, it’ll become illegal. This applies mostly to exceptional web-sites, which someone has spent a lot of time and money developing, not the sites you get using standard PHP-package that many other use. These sites will all look quite similar, but you shouldn’t try to copy original graphical elements. This also applies to intellectual property. Under the law for intellectual property, owners are given certain exclusive rights to a variety of assets, like music, literary works, and art. Inventions and discoveries, and words,phrases, patterns and symbols. Although many of the legal principles controlling intellectual property rights have changed over the years, it was not until the 19th century that the term 'intellectual property' began to be used, and not until the late 20th century that it became ordinary in most countries. A trademark is a recognisable

The printer is limited by the size and thickness of the paper it takes. It is also limited by the amount of ink the ink cartridges use. A limitation of a scanner would be the resolution, which will become lower the less you spend on it. Another limitation is the size of the bed, which will then determine how big the item you want to scan will be. Scanners also work very slowly, which will slow down production. Licensing cost lots of money if you put the software on a lot of different computers. Also, the software becomes outdated, so you would need to pay to update it. A limitation for a vinyl cutter is the cutter heads. They are very hard because they are made of diamonds. But after a while they go blunt and will then need replacing. This means that they are very expensive to replace.

Brochure: For a brochure and leaflets, I would use both Bitmap and vectors. I would do this because they usually contain both logos and texts and pictures. Bitmaps are made up of little blocks called pixels, and they have their own colour information. If you enlarge it, they will become blurry. But for the logos on the website, the vectors are made up of shapes. This means there are no pixels to worry about, and you can make them as big and small as you want them to be and they will not become blurry. Vehicle: For the logo on the side of the vehicle, you would need to use vector software. The logo needs to be really big, so you’ll need to be stretched and large. If you try to expand a Bitmap on the side of a van, then the logo will become pixelated and blurry. Website: For the website, you would use a Bitmap. This is because websites are viewed on screens. Screens are made up of pixels, and so are Bitmaps. Also, Bitmap files don’t take up a lot of space, so uploading them, they wouldn’t be big files. PDF: PDF (portable document format) are good because you don't need the original software to open a file. It will open in Adobe Acrobat.
