CD-Rom
• CD-ROM (Compact Disc, read-only-memory) is an
adaptation of the CD that is designed to store computer
data in the form of text and graphics, as well as hi-fi
stereo sound. The original data format standard was
defined by Philips and Sony in the 1983 Yellow Book.
Other standards are used in conjunction with it to define
directory and file structures, including ISO 9660, HFS
(Hierarchal File System, for Macintosh computers), and
Hybrid HFS-ISO.
E-Book
•
An electronic book (variously, e-book, eBook, eBook, digital book, or
even e-edition) is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of
text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on
computers or other electronic devices. Sometimes the equivalent of a
conventional printed book, e-books can also be born digital. The Oxford
Dictionary of English defines the e-book as "an electronic version of a
printed book," but e-books can and do exist without any printed equivalent.
Commercially produced and sold E-books are usually intended to be read
on dedicated e-book readers.
Electronic journal
• Electronic journals, also known as e journals, ejournals, and electronic serials, are scholarly journals or
intellectual magazines that can be accessed via
electronic transmission. In practice, this means that they
are usually published on the Web. They are a
specialized form of electronic document: they have the
purpose of providing material for academic research and
study, and they are formatted approximately like journal
articles in traditional printed journals. Being in electronic
form, articles sometimes contain metadata that can be
entered into specialized databases, such as DOAJ or ,
as well as the databases and search-engines for the
academic discipline concerned.
Online Magazine
• An online magazine is a magazine published on the
World Wide Web.
• Some online magazines call themselves webzines. An
ezine (also spelled e-zine) is a more specialized term
appropriately used for small magazines and newsletters
distributed by any electronic method, for example, by
electronic mail (e-mail/email, see Zane). Some social
groups may use the terms cyberzine and hyperzine
when referring to electronically distributed resources.
Similarly, some online magazines may refer to
themselves as "electronic magazines" or "e-magazines"
to reflect their readership demographics or to capture
alternative terms and spellings in online searches.
Flyers and leaflets
• These are both used to promote events or
products. Leaflets are created on
Photoshop to add affect and catch the
audiences eye
E-newspapers
• An online newspaper, also known as a web
newspaper, is a newspaper that exists on the World
Wide Web or Internet, either separately or as an online
version of a printed periodical.
• Going online created more opportunities for newspapers,
such as competing with broadcast journalism in
presenting breaking news in a more timely manner. The
credibility and strong brand recognition of wellestablished newspapers, and the close relationships
they have with advertisers, are also seen by many in the
newspaper industry as strengthening their chances of
survival. The movement away from the printing process
can also help decrease costs.
Adverts
• Advertising or advertising is a form of communication for
marketing and used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an
audience (viewers, readers or listeners; sometimes a specific group)
to continue or take some new action. Most commonly, the desired
result is to drive consumer behaviour with respect to a commercial
offering, although political and ideological advertising is also
common. In Latin, ad vertere means "to turn the mind toward.“ The
purpose of advertising may also be to reassure employees or
shareholders that a company is viable or successful. Advertising
messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various
traditional media; including mass media such as newspaper,
magazines, television commercial, radio advertisement, outdoor
advertising or direct mail; or new media such as blogs, websites or
text messages.
