Research : Screen Resolution and Color

Screen resolution is the number of pixels. An image is built up from many pixels. 
The screen creates the image you see by changing the colors of these tiny square elements.

The screen resolution tells you how many pixels your screen can display horizontally and vertically.

300 pixels per inch is a standard size for printing in a magazine, but since we are using web images so 72 pixels per inch of resolution would be acceptable.








The two basic combination of colors that we use for printing are;



RGB: Red, Green & Blue — The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green and blue colors  are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors.


CMYK: Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black — CMYK is a color model in which all colors are described as a mixture of these four process colors. CMYK is the standard color model used in printing for full-color documents. Because such printing uses inks of these four basic colors, it is often called four-color printing.

As we will not be printing the final product we will use RGB instead of CMYK which is originally used for printing.
