Flyers and posters 1

Page 13: IGCSE ICT Communicating Ideas.  identify the advantages and disadvantages of using common applications to communicate ideas:  Multimedia presentations.

DTP software is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get - meaning that the document looks the same on the screen as it will when it's printed).

Flyers and posters 2

Most web authoring packages are WYSIWYG, too.

Document layout is produced using 'frames' - areas of the page that can contain text or images.

Flyers and posters 3

Text in frames can 'overflow' into other frames. Images can be added from scanners or digital cameras, then cropped, rotated, resized, etc. Where text and images overlap, text can be 'wrapped' around images.

be expensive) training to know how to use a computer (you don't

need training to use paper!) Websites can be hacked into/contain viruses Websites need maintaining once they have been set
