  • Example of search engines: GOOGLE, YAHOO, BING
  • Example of browsers: CHROME, SAFARI AND FIREFOX
• ONLINE PLATFORMS

  • Since the invention of the Internet in 1984, there had been many innovations like online platforms such as:
  • PRESENTATION PLATFORMS
  • CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORMS
  • FILE MANAGEMENT PLATFORMS
  • MAPPING PLATFORMS
  • SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
• • Presentation platforms allow you to present and share presentations and videos with other people, and are used to communicate information clearly.
  • CANVA, GOOGLE SLIDES AND POWERPOINT
• Cloud computing platforms or “The Cloud” is the practice of using remote servers hosted on the internet to store data and programs.

  GOOGLE CLOUD, ICLOUS, AMAZON
• • File management platforms are used for storing, naming, sorting, and handling computer files and allows you to convert and manage files without downloading the software tool.
  • GOOGLE DRIVE, ONE DRIVE, ICLOUD AND DROPBOX
• • Mapping platforms uses GPS (global positioning system) to detect location and used for navigation.
  • GOOGLE MAPS, WAZE, APPLE MOP, MAPQUEST
• • Social media platforms are computer-mediated tools that allow large group of people to create, share, or exchange information.
• INFOGRAPHICS is the combination of the words “information” and “graphics”. It means information from graphics. It can greatly enhance how you present your information.
• BAR GRAPHS are primarily used in comparing sets of data. They visualize the difference between values in a table and shoe rate of change over time.
• LINE GRAPHS are similar with bar graphs in terms of use, with a difference that line graphs are more suitable in showing trends.
• FOREST GRAPHS are used to visually represent values and compare them to other groups.
• RADIAL GRAPHS are similar to a forest graph in many aspects but are presented using a circle.
• PIE CHARTS are a type of graph that represents the data in the circular graph. The slices of pie show the relative size of the data, and it is a type of pictorial representation of data.  
• VENN DIAGRAM uses overlapping circles or other shapes to illustrate the logical relationships between two or more sets of items.
• Design is a plan of creating an idea through a combination of texts, images, and other elements that are placed together artistically.
• Layout is a term

  used as the process of organizing and arranging the elements in a design as you

  plot it in a paper.
• BEFORE WE CAN DESIGN OR CREATE A LAYOUT, WE MUST NEED TO LEARN ABOUT THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN AND LAYOUT.
• Balance

  It refers to the proper arrangement of the elements, which gives a visual

  weight for the design.
• Symmetrical balance is where the elements are

  equally distributed on both sides of your design, technically a mirror-based design.
• Asymmetrical balance is a free layout where the elements can be placed in any order or the opposite of symmetrical.
• Emphasis refers to something that needs to stand-out or emphasize. When working on emphasis, you can change the color, size, or even the element itself to lead

  the eye to the focal interest.
• Pattern, Repetition and Rhythm

  The use of repetitive elements such as lines, shapes, forms, textures, space, colors, font, style, and the like to create texture, movement, continuity, and consistency of the design. It also makes the design formal and more comfortable to read because of its uniformity.
• Alignment refers to the proper placement of an element to your design, just like invisibly placing or aligning your texts or images diagonally, vertically, and horizontally. The standard texts or paragraph alignment we apply are center, right, left, and justified.
• Hierarchy refers to the proper arrangement of the details such as text, characters, numbers, and symbols. Changing its character size, thickness, spaces, or even font type to stand out is its most critical features.  
• Contrast refers to the use of different or opposite elements such as sizes shapes, spaces, form, colors, texture and values (light or dark). The contrast gives visual weight to an object or design. You must consider and limit the use of different elements, color, style, and typography to avoid cluttered design.
• Unity and variety refers to the relationship of the elements or the contents when you place them together. The elements of the design must work together and agree to its meaning, theme, feeling, or mood.
• Unity and variety refers to the relationship of the elements or the contents when you place them together. The elements of the design must work together and agree to its meaning, theme, feeling, or mood.
• COLOR CONTRAST it is used to drive viewer attention and make your design more visually interesting. Use complementary colors to create contrast but avoid too bright combinations that can produce strain on the eyes
• TYPOGRAPHY OR FONT CONTRAST in graphic design consists of pairing two different fonts with a clear visual differentiation to focus, the main information on the most notorious font.
• SHAPE CONTRAST when you have a repetition of the same shape in your graphic design layout, It's a good idea to add a different shape to drive the viewer attention to that specific part of the design as it's different from the previous shapes.
• SIZE CONTRAST it makes your design more interesting visually and help to assure the key ideas of it, being the big item more important than the smaller, by paving with this type of contrast you can be sure to move viewers eye on the right area of the design layout.
• UNITY same color, same size
• VARIETY different colors, different sizes
• ILOVEYOU, sometimes referred to as the Love Bug, was a computer worm that infected over ten million Windows personal computers on and after 5 May 2000. It started spreading as an email message with the subject line "ILOVEYOU" and the attachment "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs".
• Opening the attachment activates the Visual Basic script. First, the worm inflicts damage on the local machine, overwriting random files (including Office files and image files; however, it hides MP3 files instead of deleting them), then, it copies itself to all addresses in the Windows Address Book used by Microsoft Outlook, allowing it to spread much faster than any other previous email worm.
• Onel de Guzman, a then-24-year-old computer science student at AMA Computer College and resident of Manila, Philippines, created the malware.
