Jobs/VacanciesGraphic design by TESTIMONY34(op):
Graphic design is the process of visual communication and problem-solving through the use of typography, photography and illustration. The field is considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "graphic design" is used synonymously.

The 8 types of graphic design
1. Visual identity graphic design

A brand is a relationship between a business or organization and its audience. A brand identity is how the organization communicates its personality, tone and essence, as well as memories, emotions and experiences. Visual identity graphic design is exactly that: the visual elements of brand identity that act as the face of a brand to communicate those intangible qualities through images, shapes and color.




Designers that specialize in visual identity graphic design collaborate with brand stakeholders to create assets like logos, typography, color palettes and image libraries that represent a brand’s personality. In addition to the standard business cards and corporate stationary, designers often develop a set of visual brand guidelines (style guides) that describe best practices and provide examples of visual branding applied across various media. These guidelines help to ensure brand consistency throughout future applications.



Visual identity graphic designers must possess a general knowledge of all types of graphic design in order to create design elements that are suitable across all visual media. They also need excellent communication, conceptual and creative skills, and a passion for researching industries, organizations, trends and competitors.

2. Marketing & advertising graphic design

When most people think of graphic design, they think of designs created for marketing and advertising.

Companies depend on successful marketing efforts to tap into their target audience’s decision-making process. Great marketing engages people based on the wants, needs, awareness and satisfaction they have about a product, service or brand. Since people will always find visual content more engaging, graphic design helps organizations promote and communicate more effectively.

Marketing designers work with company owners, directors, managers or marketing professionals to create assets for marketing strategies. They might work alone or as part of an in-house or creative team. Designers can specialize in a specific type of media (vehicle wraps or magazine ads, for example) or create a broad assortment of collateral for print, digital, and beyond. While traditionally print-centered, this role has grown to include more digital assets, especially for use in content marketing.


Examples of marketing graphic design
Postcards and flyers
Magazine and newspaper ads
Posters, banners and billboards
Infographics
Brochures (print and digital)
Vehicle wraps
Signage and trade show displays
Email marketing templates
PowerPoint presentations
Menus
Social media ads, banners and graphics
Banner and retargeting ads
Images for websites and blogs

Marketing designers need excellent communication, problem-solving and time management skills. In addition to being proficient in several graphic design, layout and presentation apps, they must also be familiar with production for print and online environments. Entry-level positions in this area are a great way for new designers to learn processes and acquire valuable skills and experience.

3. User interface graphic design

A user interface (UI) is how a user interacts with a device or application. UI design is the process of designing interfaces to make them easy to use and provide a user-friendly experience.

A UI includes all of the things a user interacts with—the screen, keyboard and mouse—but in the context of graphic design, UI design focuses on the user’s visual experience and the design of on-screen graphic elements like buttons, menus, micro-interactions, and more. It’s a UI designer’s job to balance aesthetic appeal with technical functionality.



UI designers specialize in desktop apps, mobile apps, web apps and games. They work closely with UX (user experience) designers (who determine how the app works) and UI developers (who write code to make it work).

Examples of user interface graphic design
Web page design
Theme design (WordPress, Shopify, etc.)
Game interfaces
App design


UI designers must be team players backed by both serious graphic design skills and an excellent understanding of UI/UX principles, responsive design and web development. In addition to graphics apps, they need knowledge of programming languages like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

4. Publication graphic design

Publications are long-form pieces that communicate with an audience through public distribution. They have traditionally been a print medium. Think books, newspapers, magazines and catalogs. However, there’s recently been a significant rise in digital publishing.


Graphic designers that specialize in publications work with editors and publishers to create layouts with carefully selected typography and accompanying artwork, which includes photography, graphics and illustrations. Publication designers may work as freelancers, as creative agency members or in-house as part of a publishing company.

Examples of publication graphic design
Books
Newspapers
Newsletters
Directories
Annual reports
Magazines
Catalogs
Publication designers must possess excellent communication, layout and organizational skills. In addition to graphic design expertise, they need to understand color management, printing and digital publishing.

5. Packaging graphic design

Most products require some form of packaging to protect and prepare them for storage, distribution, and sale. But packaging design can also communicate directly to consumers, which makes it an extremely valuable marketing tool. Every box, bottle and bag, every can, container, or canister is a chance tell the story of a brand.

Packaging designers create concepts, develop mockups and create the print-ready files for a product. This requires expert knowledge of print processes and a keen understanding of industrial design and manufacturing. Because packaging design touches so many disciplines, it’s not uncommon for designers to find themselves creating other assets for a product such as photography, illustrations and visual identity.


Packaging designers may be a jack-of-all-trades or specialize in a specific type of packaging (like labels or beverage cans) or a specific industry (like food or children’s toys). Their work requires top-notch conceptual and problem-solving skills in addition to a strong working knowledge of print and industrial design. They must be flexible to meet the demands of clients, marketers and manufacturers and be aware of current trends.

6. Motion graphic design

Simply put, motion graphics are graphics that are in motion. This can include animation, audio, typography, imagery, video and other effects that are used in online media, television and film. The medium’s popularity has skyrocketed in recent years as technology improved and video content became king.

“Motion graphics designer” is a somewhat new specialty for designers. Formally reserved for TV and film, technological advances have reduced production time and costs, making the art form more accessible and affordable. Now, motion graphics can be found across all digital platforms, which has created all sorts of new areas and opportunities.

Examples of motion graphic design
Title sequences and end credits
Advertisements
Animated logos
Trailers
Presentations
Promotional videos
Tutorial videos
Websites
Apps
Video games
Banners
GIFs


Motion graphics designers begin by developing storyboards and then bring their concepts to life with animation, video and traditional art. Depending on the industry, a strong working knowledge of marketing, coding and 3D modeling can be definite assets.

7. Environmental graphic design

Environmental graphic design visually connects people to places to improve their overall experience by making spaces more memorable, interesting, informative or easier to navigate.

Examples of environmental graphic design
Signage
Wall murals
Museum exhibitions
Office branding
Public transportation navigation
Retail store interiors
Stadium branding
Event and conference spaces
Wayfinding is a specific type of environmental graphic design that consists of strategic signage, landmarks and visual cues that help people identify where they are and where they need to go so they can get there without confusion.


Adobe Summit 2018 via Angela Fisher and Steve Gustavson

Via Artur Busz
Environmental graphic design is a multidisciplinary practice that merges graphic, architectural, interior, landscape and industrial design. Designers collaborate with people in any number of these fields to plan and implement their designs. Because of that, designers typically have education and experience in both graphic design and architecture. They must be familiar with industrial design concepts and able to read and sketch architectural plans.



Traditionally, environmental graphic design has produced static print pieces, but digital interactive displays continue to rise in popularity as a means of creating a more engaging experience.

8. Art and illustration for graphic design

Graphic art and illustration are often seen as being the same as graphic design, however they’re each very different. Designers create compositions to communicate and solve problems, graphic artists and illustrators create original artwork. Their art takes a number of forms, from fine art to decoration to storytelling illustrations.

Even though graphic art and illustration are not technically types of graphic design, so much is created for commercial use within the context of graphic design that you can’t talk about one without the others.



Examples of art and illustration for graphic design
T-shirt design
Graphic patterns for textiles
Motion graphics
Stock images
Graphic novels
Video games
Websites
Comic books
Album art
Book covers
Picture books
Infographics
Technical illustration
Concept art

Graphic artists use any combination of media and techniques to create their work as they collaborate with writers, editors, managers, marketers and art directors across all graphic design types. They’ll often have a foundation in fine arts, animation or architecture. Overlapping skills and apps make it possible to find graphic designers who also work as graphic artists and illustrators (and vice versa).

Use the right types of graphic design for the job

Graphic design is an ever-growing field, and the demand for specialized and skilled designers is on the rise. When you’re looking for the right person to take on a design job, knowing the different types of graphic design will help you identify the specialist you need.

PoliticsComputer Virus And Anti-virus by TESTIMONY34(op):
What is a Computer Virus?
The computer virus spreads by itself into other executable code or documents. The purpose of creating a computer virus is to infect vulnerable systems, gain admin control and steal user sensitive data. Hackers design computer viruses with malicious intent and prey on online users by tricking them.

What cause the virus:
1. Email causes the virus to spread to your system.
2. removable storage devices, such as USB drives also causes virus
What it easier for virus
Dodging the defense systems.

A successful breach can cause serious issues for the user such as infecting other resources or system software, modifying or deleting key functions or applications and copy/delete or encrypt data.
There are two types of ways in viruses operate, as soon as they land on a new device they begin replicating, while the second type plays dead until a particular trigger makes the malicious code to be executed. Thereby, it is highly important to stay protected by installing a robust antivirus program.

What are other names for a virus?
You may have heard of malware, spy ware, Trojans, trackers, hijackers, ad ware, etc... These are just subsections of viruses.

20 Common Types of Viruses Affecting Your Computer

When we talk about computer security, the virus is the leading threat. It can destroy a single program or the whole computer system instead. The very first virus was created in the 1970s and was called the Creeper virus, affecting computers on the ARPANET. In 1981, the first hacker-made virus came into existence and spread through Apple floppy drives.
According to Information-Technology Promotion Agency, the numbers of viruses ballooned to 52,151 in 2004. However, due to certain programs that completely eliminates viruses, their numbers decreased to about 14,000 in 2010.
57% of the threats affecting your computer security is viruses. Other threats include Trojans, adware, worms, and malware, among others. Now, viruses are still widespread, affecting PC performance. Viruses are also tools of hackers to gain unauthorized access to your system and steal private information. It is important that you are aware of the different types of viruses that are affecting your computers.
Resident Virus
Resident viruses live in your RAM memory. It can interfere with normal system operation which can lead to the corruption of files and programs. The most popular examples of resident viruses are CMJ, Move, MrKlunky, and Radix.
Multipartite Virus
This type of virus can easily spread in your computer system. It is very infectious, performing unauthorized actions in your operating system, in folders, and other programs on the computer. They have the ability to infect both the executable files and the boots sector.

Direct Action Virus
Direct action viruses attack certain types of files, typically .exe and .com files. The main purpose of this virus is to replicate and infect files in folders. On the lighter note, they do not typically delete files or affect PC performance and speed. It can be easily removed by antivirus programs.
Browser Hijacker
This type of virus infects your web browser in which it will bring you to different websites. Typically, if you key in a domain name in the internet address bar, the browser hijacker will open multiple fake websites that may harm your computer. On the other hand, most trusted browsers have built-in features to block them ahead.
Overwrite Virus
From the name itself, this virus overwrites the content of a file, losing the original content. It infects folders, files, and even programs. To delete this virus, you also need to get rid of your file. Thus, it is important to back up your data.
Web Scripting Virus
This virus lives in certain links, ads, image placement, videos, and layout of a website. These may carry malicious codes in which when you click, the viruses will be automatically downloaded or will direct you to malicious websites.
Boot Sector Virus
Boot sector viruses affect floppy disks. They came to existence when floppy disks are important in booting a computer. Although they are not very common today, it is still causing other computer units, especially the outdated ones. Some examples include Polyboot.B and Antecede.

Macro Virus
Macro viruses target applications and software that contain macros. These viruses can carry out series of operations affecting the performance of the program or software. Some examples of macro viruses are O97M/Y2K, Babbles, Melissa. A, and Relax.
Directory Virus
Directory viruses change file paths. When you run programs and software that are infected with directory viruses, the virus program also runs in the background. Further, it may be difficult for you to locate the original app or software once infected with directory viruses.
Polymorphic Virus
Polymorphic viruses use a special method of encoding or encryption every time they infect a system. With this, antivirus software finds it hard to locate then using signature searches. They are also capable of replicating easily. Polymorphic viruses include Satan Bug, Elkin, Tare, and Marburg.
File Infector Virus
This virus also infects executable files or programs. When you run these programs, the file infector virus is activated as well which can slow down the program and produce other damaging effects. A large block of existing viruses belongs to this category.
Encrypted Virus
This type of virus uses encrypted malicious codes which make antivirus software hard to detect them. They can only be detected when they decrypt themselves during replication. Although they don’t delete files or folders, they can badly affect PC performance.
Companion Virus
This is a type of virus that doesn’t survive without accompanying an existing file or folder. In order to carry out damages, the file or folder being accompanied by companion viruses should be opened or run. Some examples of companion viruses include Terrax.1069, Stator, and Asimov.1539.
Network Virus
Basically, this type of virus spreads out through Local Network Area (LAN) and through the internet. These viruses replicate through shared resources, including drives and folders. When network viruses enter a computer, they look for their potential prey. Dangerous network viruses include Nomad and SQLSlammer.

Nonresident Virus
Nonresident viruses replicate through modules. When the module is executed, it will select one or more files to infect.
Stealth Virus
Stealth viruses trick antivirus software by appearing like they are real files or programs and by intercepting its requests to the OS. Some antivirus software cannot detect them. Sometimes, it temporarily removes itself from the system without deletion.
Sparse Infector
Sparse infectors use different techniques to minimize its detection. They are viruses that infect “occasionally”. For example, they may only want to infect a program every tenth execution. Because they are occasional infectors, antivirus software has a hard time detecting them.
Space filler Virus
Also known as “cavity” viruses, space fillers attach themselves to the file and can alter the start of the program or change the encrypted code. They also implement stealth techniques so that users cannot determine the increase the file code. The most popular Space filler is the Lehigh virus.
FAT Virus
Basically, this type of virus ruins files allocation system where the information about files, including the location, exist.
Others
Other threats are not technically called as “virus”, but they also have the same damaging effects as viruses. This includes worms, adware, malware, Trojan, and ransom ware.
To prevent these viruses from affecting your computer, it is important that you install the best and the most competitive antivirus software that can detect, blocks, and eliminates all types of computer viruses.

How Does a Virus Infect Your Computer?
Threat level
When you see pop-up a on your computer coming from your antivirus software that says “virus,” you know that there is some type of issue. However, not all viruses are extremely dangerous, and they are often categorized according to the threat level they carry. Some viruses are simply annoying, but others are quite dangerous, and there is no such thing as a ‘good’ virus.
If you download a file with a virus attached, you still might be able to run the program, but now you have an extra ‘bonus,’ and this is a bonus that you do not want.
How Do You Know If There Is a Virus?
If you are using a computer that has the most current version of a reputable antivirus program, it should know when there is a virus on the computer or can warn you if you are about to download one. It is important that you scan your computer regularly, and make sure to schedule scans and downloads through your antivirus software. Though there are always new viruses that appear every day, most antivirus software is good at keeping up with these threats.
When a good antivirus program recognizes a virus, it will immediately quarantine any associated file that it finds. Once the virus has been isolated, it may ask if you want to delete it immediately or put it aside. It is a good idea to take a look at the file, as sometimes the program may consider a legitimate file a virus and attempt to delete it. The quarantine feature allows the computer’s owner the opportunity to either restore the file or delete it.
What Is the Best Way to Get Rid of One?
To delete the file from your computer, your security software will typically give you step-by-step instructions, or some will do it for you. If you have a Windows-based computer, Microsoft offers a number of tools to fight and remove the virus or malware. If you have antivirus software and operating system protection, you should be able to protect yourself from most viruses.
Here are some steps that you can take to ensure that your system is virus-free:
• Scan for viruses on your computer first, and make sure it is scheduled on a regular basis. If you can run a quick scan every day and a deep scan once a week, that should be enough.
• Make sure that you use the antivirus program’s settings to schedule automatic downloads and updates. If you do not do this, make sure to update your software each day manually.
• Set your e-mail program to let you know if you are downloading a file or picture when opening an email. If possible, try to set your e-mail to only display plain text and not anything else. It should prompt you before it loads any links or pictures that may be contained within.
• Do not ever click on a link or attempt to download a file that is from an e-mail address that is unfamiliar to you. If you do want to access the link from someone unknown, access the website from your bookmarks, manually type the web address into the address bar or browse for the page on an Internet search engine.
Technology does not have to be overwhelming or scary, but it does force you to increase the amount of security you use if you want to keep your information safe. Remember, there are bad guys out there who are doing all they can to access your data and obtain your personal information. In response, you should always be proactive when keeping your security and antivirus software up to date.

What is a worm?

A worm is computer code that spreads without user interaction. Most worms begin as email attachments that infect a computer when they're opened. The worm scans the infected computer for files, such as address books or temporary WebPages that contain email addresses. The worm uses the addresses to send infected email messages, and frequently mimics (or spoofs) the "From" addresses in later email messages so that those infected messages seem to be from someone you know. Worms then spread automatically through email messages, networks, or operating system vulnerabilities, frequently overwhelming those systems before the cause is known. Worms aren't always destructive to computers, but they usually cause computer and network performance and stability problems.

What is a Trojan horse?

A Trojan horse is a malicious software program that hides inside other programs. It enters a computer hidden inside a legitimate program, such as a screen saver. Then it puts code into the operating system that enables a hacker to access the infected computer. Trojan horses do not usually spread by themselves. They are spread by viruses, worms, or downloaded software.

What is spyware?

Spyware can install on your computer without your knowledge. These programs can change your computer’s configuration or collect advertising data and personal information. Spyware can track Internet search habits and can also redirect your web browser to a different website than you intend to go to.


What is rogue security software?

A rogue security software program tries to make you think that your computer is infected by a virus and usually prompts you to download or buy a product that removes the virus. The names of these products frequently contain words like Antivirus, Shield, Security, Protection, or Fixer. This makes them sound legitimate. They frequently run right after you download them, or the next time that your computer starts. Rogue security software can prevent applications, such as Internet Explorer, from opening. Rogue security software might also display legitimate and important Windows files as infections. Typical error messages or pop-up messages might contain the following phrases:

Warning!
Your computer is infected!
This computer is infected by spyware and adware.

Note If you receive a message in a popup dialog box that resembles this warning, press ALT + F4 on your keyboard to close the dialog box. Do not click anything inside the dialog box. If a warning, such as the one here, keeps appearing when you try to close the dialog box, it’s a good indication that the message is malicious.

Are you sure you want to navigate from this page?
Your computer is infected! They can cause data lost and file corruption and need to be treated as soon as possible. Press CANCELS to prevent it. Return to System Security and download it to secure your PC.
Press OK to continue or Cancel to stay on the current page.

If you see this kind of message, then don't download or buy the software.


What is malware?

Malware is a term that is used for malicious software that is designed to do damage or unwanted actions to a computer system. Examples of malware include the following:
• Viruses
• Worms
• Trojan horses
• Spyware
• Rogue security software

How to remove malware such as a virus, spyware, or rogue security software

Removing a computer virus or spyware can be difficult without the help of malicious software removal tools. Some computer viruses and other unwanted software reinstall themselves after the viruses and spyware are detected and removed. Fortunately, by updating the computer and by using malicious software removal tools, you can help permanently remove unwanted software.


For more information about how to remove a computer virus and spyware, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Microsoft resources and guidance for removal of malware and viruses
Note If you cannot access the Internet on your computer, use another computer to help you follow the steps in the “How to reset your Internet Explorer proxy settings” section on the computer that may be infected.


To remove a computer virus and other malicious software, follow these steps in order.

Install the latest updates from Microsoft Update

Note: A computer virus may prevent you from accessing the Microsoft Update website to install the latest updates. We recommend that you set the Automatic Updates service to run automatically so that a computer is not missing any important updates.
