Rushabh asked: I am planning to buy a camcorder with range not being an issue. I am looking with minimal manual control and heard Sony has best of the point-and-shoot camcorders. Also I would prefer HardDisk format. What amongst the above model would you suggest. I heard that high definition video is the latest in the market. Can someone help me deicde where SDR or HDR to opt for? Also are there any major difference between SR5 & SR7, apart from HDD capacity and still image resolution. As i already have a digital camera, I prefer this as video capturing device. Still image quality is not an criteria. Other than that, does SR5 and SR7 fall into same league in terms of video quality? Would really appreicate if someone can throw some light on it? Thanks in advance.

Graphic Design is something I have always been interested in and I have never even thought to do anything else as a career. I love clever strap lines, beautiful images and clean crisp looking final pieces. In most graphic design briefs you have to work within a client’s boundaries, however in my opinion within these constraints you have the flexibility to put your own stamp on the piece and to unleash your creative flair. I take pride in my work and enjoy the developmental process from initial idea to finished piece. I feel graphic design is a necessity and without it the world would be a very dull colourless place. I am a very creative person and this subject lets me use my imagination to create stimulating pieces of work which are visually pleasing to others, and that communicate a message to the viewer either via an image or type.

Graphic Design is a passion of mine and I would love to turn my passion into a successful career. My favourite aspects of the subjects are typography, photography, image manipulation and advertising.

I studied for a National Diploma in Graphic Design which I achieved in 2006. During this course I gained knowledge and skills in various aspects of graphic design and enjoyed every minute of it. I also gained skills that I can apply to everyday life: I am now more confident in my work, but also in myself. I learned how to manage my time effectively and how to work under pressure.

After I finished the diploma I progressed to a degree course at Bradford College but unfortunately had to leave this programme as I became pregnant. Since then I have been raising my son in my home in Wakefield which is where I would like to stay whilst I am studying as i can get childcare here.

I have a great range of interests but my main ones are art/design and photography. I enjoy being creative and letting my imagination run wild. At the moment I am planning a mural of an undersea world on my son’s bedroom walls.
In the past I have done a lot of art/design related projects: I designed a series of flyers and album covers for a friend’s band and have designed tattoos for friends. I created a wall display of my grandmother’s old photographs by re-conditioning them by removing scratches and creases and touching up the lighting or contrast etc. I visit a website called www.worth1000.com where I take part in photoshop competitions and indeed I have won a few of them.

I am an outgoing person who enjoys meeting new people.
I am organized, good at time management and am, neigh, have to be, very reliable, as I manage my 6 month old son, my own home and my own personal goals.

I am really looking forward to studying this subject as I really enjoyed the national diploma course and I think this course will give me the skills I need to progress into a successful career in this field, whilst being an enjoyable and productive experience.

tri1104 asked: I’m sure it’s been asked a million times…. which is better Plasma or LCD?

According to consumer reports, both have about the same life span with average use. It says Plasma TVs can be watched from most any angle without blurring, but LCDs have “hot spots” you have to watch from…

Then the guy at the store told us the opposite… we’re more likely to trust consumer reports, but just looking for any feedback anyone can give us about how the two compare! Thanks! PS - we don’t play games, though we do watch DVDs. Also, we don’t have cable, but we will eventually. Finally, we want a smaller size TV - about 30″
