Digital Camera Product ReviewWritten by Jem
The Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D, priced at $1,599 (body only), is Konica Minolta’s bet for high-end digital SLR market, competing against likes of Canon’s Digital Rebel and EOS-20D, Fujifilm’s S3 Pro, Olympus E-1 and EVOLT-E-300, and Nikon D70. What sets it apart from competition is its Anti-shake system, which is designed to reduce blurring effects caused by unsteady grip of camera. The system detects outside movements and produces an inverse motion from CCD, which is set on a movable plane. The 6.1-megapixel SLR uses Li-Ion battery and comes with a battery charger, LCD protection panel, wireless remote control and neck strap. However, you will need to purchase a memory card since this is not included in package. The Maxxum 7D supports both RAW and RAW+JPEG modes and comes with a 25-inch LCD display with 207,000 pixels. The camera is sturdy and firm to grip with its rubberized grip. Minolta is introducing two new lenses specifically to complement Maxxum 7D’s Anti-shake feature, which does not work well with some macro lenses. Other optional accessories available for this SLR are flashes, AC adapter, remote cable releases, focusing screens and angled viewfinder. It has loads of features that enthusiasts would ask for in a D-SLR. Photographers would be excited by numerous mechanical controls this gadget offers.
| | Comment on the Creation of a Logo Design for Design CaféWritten by Maricon Williams
The purpose of in-house competition to create a logo design is for Design Café to have a unique mark of identity. It should reflect a place for friendly, approachable and helpful discussion amongst graphic designers, publishers, illustrators, photographers and others who are inclined in creation of visual communications. The logo that will be chosen will be printed on coffee mugs and embroidered on shirts.When we make a business logo it should reflect business itself. It should reflect products and services business is catering. It starts with conceptualization process – where you think of right words, color and design. Your logo is most important design in your business because it is basis of all other materials. In connection with Design Café entries, all of them are made with striking concept. I prefer #11 and #12. Number 11 entry depicts elegance. It is simple yet regal. It sends out a message that this establishment is of superior class yet approachable. Number 12 entry is artistic, which you can gauge word creativity. From logo you can be acquainted that business is all about designing.
