Hardware and Software requirements for the DTP facilities needed Essay

A customer from the GNVQ Sports classify Group has asked me to produce a document of at least 16 camera-ready copy pages. The GNVQ Sports Catalogue Group is a small sized company that are a mail order company. They sell sports goods like shirts, footwear, equipment for different sports, clothes etc. The pass away memorandum is out of date and they need a new record to keep up to date. The catalogue has to advertise the companys goods and sell them. The client will choose a catalogue to run with to sell the goods. The client call fors the pursuit things to be get welled in and on the catalogue.The front and back big top has to look professional. An index can be set out in different ways maybe to look for an individual harvests or products underneath a category. An order from must be put in to the catalogue. In the order form details for the customer to fill in must include name, address, return ID, Product Name, Quantity, Sub Total, Total. The client stated that 5 orders c ould only be made on one order form. On the order form in like manner the details that must be include are the company address, send for and fax numbers, postage and package details must be included.The inside pages of the catalogue amaze to contain the following things. On the pages there must be the name of the product that is being interchange on the page where it is noticeable. Also the envisage of the product should be on the page. There should be a product description describing what type of product you are selling. This description must include the product ID, product name and price. Other additional things that can be included are like what sizes the product comes in. Hardware and Software requirements for the DTP facilities needed Here I will tell and describe what type of hardware that I need to produce the catalogue.The reason why I did my draft designs the way I did is because of the following reasons. I picked up three catalogues and I analysed them in the followi ng way. The first catalogue I am going to analyse is the FCUK (French Connection United Kingdom). The stem turn of this catalogue is beach/casual wear. Front cover The front cover is ok. Parts of a word on the front cover puddle been rakehell up. In between these large letters it has the company name in red, which is in the centre. underneath the company name it says buymail (hence the fact I got this catalogue by post).It then has a female model at the bottom of the front cover. Along the bottom it has what season the catalogue is in. Underneath they have the contact phone number and the company email address if you want to email them close(predicate) something. The phone number is in a red colour also. I call back the company put their company name and number in red so it stands out and that the people know where to reach them. When you open up the catalogue it has the following logo. The logo is orange and yellow. This gives a feel of the summer, beaches and eagerness.Unde rneath the logo is a brief statement. It entails certain things like they comment on the clothes that are further in the catalogue and other things. It then has the companys email address. Page Layout Throughout the catalogue the page layout is very similar to one another inside. The page layout inside the catalogue is as follows. On the first page it has a picture of a woman. At the bottom left tree it is says Ladieswear pages 3-28. On the next page are the products being displayed. The products are sort of in a circle shape and in the middle is another product.Underneath it has the description of the product. The description underneath the products includes the product name, style number, colour and the sizes it is available in. The products on the page are displayed on a white background. They also have the description underneath the products. This makes the products stand out. The people modelling the clothes on some pages are on a creamy background. They do not have a contents page. But the front-pages before that particular section starts there is a picture of a person and the related product that is being sold on the pages ahead.It also says how many pages long the section is next to the picture. This may act as a contents page. The lack of good description about the product may be a good thing because potential customers may not want to read lots of detail they may want to go straight to the product. They also do not have an index. I conceive this is going to make it a bit hard for the customers to find a specific product they want. I think this because when the person is filling out the order form they might forget a tiny detail about the product and they need to find it quick.They cannot do that in this catalogue therefore they would have to go through the catalogue to find the product they need. I think having an index in the catalogue is very important because it will make it easier for the person to look for a specific product. Back cover The ba ck cover is as follows. It just has pictures from the beach. It also has the company in short (FCUK) in pink on the back cover. At the bottom of the page it has in the analogous style writing as the logos on the inside page it says MEMORIES OF Fcukiki Beach. This is also in orange and yellow to make it a summer, warmth and beach feel.
