what is a deadline?
A deadline is a task that MUST be done on time, we usually think of deadlines as paying bills or submitting assignments or tasks for a job.
What's involved in making a deadline?
To meet a deadline it usually takes organising, for example if you had an assignment due you would have to research the information needed, gather people who can influence or help you. prepare the material needed and set time aside to get the job completed. If this was not organised you have the risk of not doing the task correctly and ending up with a poor result or an incomplete project.
What are the consequences of breaking a deadline?
The consequences of breaking a deadline means that your image to the person who set the deadline is going to an image of unreliability, laziness etc this may lead to less tasks being set to you, failing a subject, or getting fired from a job.
How do you prioritise deadlines?
set them in order of most important to least important.
how do deadlines alter perception of business and individuals?
not meetin deadlines gives a negative effect on a company because if something is not done on time the person you are doing the project for will not come to you again and will loose business themselves if its something like a function that involved posters flyers etc, they will then pass it on not to go to that company and eventually you may go out of business. On a individual level your boss will think less of you and not have a great deal of respect for you and if it is a re occurring thing you could loss your job and gain a bad reputation in the community.
How do general business deadlines differ with Graphic Design deadlines?
In Graphic Design a client gives you a "deadline" as they usually need that piece of work for something they need for their job such as flyer for a upcoming event, if these do not get printed on time then there clients will not be advised of the function which they may loose thousands of dollars for and they can sue you for lose of business.

How do the major platforms affect technical approaches to projects?
- Mac is much more expenisve for equipment
- layout is easier to operate on a mac (in my opinion)
- web design is better on a PC and most people in general use a PC
When researching this subject on the net is has a huge debate between the geeks but these are some of the things i found
