Task 6b (M2)
So the marketing director can make an informed decision about the system the design team will purchase you are required to suggest an alternative system for example an Apple Mac. The report needs to compare this system with the system in P4 and you need to make a decision on which system should be purchased and why.
(For M2, learners must justify why the system set up was chosen eg cost, and suggest alternative set ups (at least one) and discuss why these could also be appropriate. The reasons for the choices should be clearly explained and referenced to the user need. Any optional extras must be justified).
To: Marketing Director From: The Design Agency.Date: 13th May 2013.Subject: A report justifying the comparison between alternative systems.
In this report I will be discussing and informing you of the differences that are present between an Apple Mac computer system and that of a Windows computer system and why and Apple Mac would be preferable for your business. I will be familiarizing you with particular aspects that feature within the different computers and how the specification of an Apple Mac system will be more beneficial for the purpose it will be having.
Apple Mac systems are particularly designed for graphics purposes, through built in software to the designed of the PC and tower the features it entails are perfect for any format of work. An Apple Mac is perfectly designed for specific graphic creations for example Photography, 3D Modelling and animation, Video editing and much more. This computing system is perfect for creating highly detailed images. Apple Macs have been widely known as 'designers computers' due to this the makers have focused on particular aspects to improve features such as fonts and colouring. Mac has an advantage against PC's for this one reason, the fact that Mac systems have specifically improved to fit the image of being a designer's computer whereas PC systems are for all round usage mainly and not one aspect above the rest. However a PC is also able to improve fonts and colouring just not to the same standard Mac is able to produce on their computers.
If price is the main decider on which system should be purchased then the Windows is considerably cheaper than a Mac computer this is due to the manufacturer Apple introducing new complex software systems with new and improved graphics and many other aspects and have been rapidly improving with the generations. Apple has been changing and advancing their computer software whereas Windows has remained virtually the same with slight improvements over the decades with Windows 7 + 8 adding an edge.
Regarding the computer system itself Apple has deliberately enabled there operating system to be of ease to use with enhanced features which can improve the users overall experience and end result of what they may produce. Each change to different applications and software that may have been installed onto your device is quick and flows easily onto the next application. It also only offers particular features that Apple owns and offers to its users for example iPhoto and iVideo with professional tools which allow you to edit your graphics. Windows (PC) has also improved the experience that it offers to the user with the update of Windows 8.1 however Mac computer systems have the edge when in regards to the purpose your design team shall be using the system for.
In relation to the purpose this computer system will be having aka graphic design and animation there is not a lot of differentiation between the two when regarding graphics. The software between both the computer systems are virtually similar and available for both types of systems, there will slight variation but they shall entail the same aspects and features. Major graphic software for example Adobe Creative are available for both systems so it will ensure that the graphics that are produced will be of the same standard and depth. Mac computers are widely known for graphics and designer's computers this is due to there being specific tools which are complementary to Mac computing systems which will allow the user to create and edit graphics in different manners as they would when using a normal PC. The main variation between Mac systems and PC systems is that PC's have software that mainly enables you to focus on particular graphics such as architecture whereas Mac's allow you to make any graphics that may be desired. There is always the option of whether the budget is too high to purchase a smaller system or Windows product to start as it will have similar software but will not produce as equal graphics but graphics that are adequate but not exceptional as that a Mac will allow you to create.

In culmination I believe that through evaluating the performance of both a PC and an Apple Mac, the Apple Mac computer system is certainly the better product for these purposes. Within my report it displays that an Apple Mac computer system will be the most beneficial system that would help the business and design team create graphics that are detailed and precise. Overall I believe the evidence supports that an Apple Mac system will be best for your design team and will help create spectacular graphics. Mac systems have excellent graphics and create as equally excellent graphics from scratch, and the font capabilities are very advanced and useful for any graphic design work.
www: Larissa you have clearly justified the choice of computer system to meet a given business purpose. M2 achieved.
