Pixel Per Inch (PPI) is a metric typically used to describe the pixel density or also known as ''sharpness'' for all displays such as cameras, mobile devices, computers, ETC. Basically, this is how many pixels can fit in one inch, which will make the image look way better in quality. When you compare 300 ppi VS 72 ppi, it's pretty easy to tell which one will look better, specially when you print it, which is one of the clearest ways to find the real difference. Here are two images rendered by me with 300 ppi and 72 ppi using Photoshop CS6.                                   300 PPI                                               72 PPI

1. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image that was created by US-based software writer Steve Willhite while working at the bulletin board service provider CompuServe on June 15, 1987 and now days is used by a lot of people for different purposes. 2. A raw file is the image as seen in the camera's sensor, this allows you to process the image to your liking. 3. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) have two sub formats called JPG/Exif usually used by photographic equipment and JPG/JFIF are often used in the WWW. 4. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression and it was created as an improvement, non-patented replacement for GIF.

I decided to join this academy because i like designing..... anything...... and i think this is the place where i belong, but this is not the only reason why i picked this academy, my dad is a Graphic Designer and he is basically my inspiration to this ''designing world''. I feel like this academy will help me in the future like with college credits and if i get a Web Design diploma (which I'm getting for sure) i will be able to get a job doing what i love to do and also, get into college. I have a lot of hobbies like talking and playing with my friends, it can be videogames or a sport. I am a very curious person and i always like trying different stuff (that's why this year i will try to get i...
