PNG: I use pngs when making projects on photoshop and they are extremely useful as it provides a transparent background  WAV: I use this in music as this provides the highest quality sound when exported from softwares. This also largely increases the space the file uses Mp3: This is the basic file format that is used when providing projects that require sound and that is the format it usually plays in across all platforms. It is lower quality and significantly smaller than a wav file Jpeg: This is the file that is used for most pictures and does not provide a transparent option. This is the basic picture format across all platforms Mp4: This is an audio visual format that is used for projects such videos and movies. This is the format these are usually exported in Gif: a gif is a 7 second clip that is meant to loop and repeat itself and I use this in the background of my music instead of just keeping a standstill background for it.

LO1. 1.4 repurposing

Image
I often link my digital media work to my musical work and these are album and song covers that I have created independently in correlation to my music with what I have learned on photoshop. These are the types of projects that I would put into my main portfolio.
