Week 7 - Operating Systems and Digital Color

     In order to run our company and complete all the necessary tasks that come with creating, distributing, marketing, and selling this new line, we will obviously need computers to help us achieve those tasks. An operating system manages hardware and software resources and has many functions including CPU management, process management, memory management, file system management, device management, and user management. We will incorporate all these functions of an operating system to help us succeed in the creation of this new line.
    In terms of which kind of operating system we will be utilizing, we will definitely be using one with a multi-user and multi-tasking capability to ensure maximum efficiency. This allows us to not only have multiple users access a computer system simultaneously but also allow the execution of numerous tasks at one time. We believe that this will greatly enhance our ability to perform our business functions, such as marketing/sales, updating our Accounting books, creating ads, tracking our sales performance, etc. We will be using the popular Windows 7 operating system in our offices and headquarters as we see the simple user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface) to be very practical.
     One challenge in the process of creating, marketing, and advertising this new clothing line is deciding which colors we are going to produce it in. Starting from scratch in the digital word, this means there are literally millions of different colors we could go with but we decided to narrow it down to eye-catching bright pastel colors. In our attempt to be error-prone, we have made sure that all our design, marketing, and advertising teams are on the same page about what color scheme and which exact shade we are going to launch. It is crucial that all the colors we will be using match up because it is very easy to make a mistake with all the different possibilities out there in digital color. For example, we will make sure that in our web HTML, we are consistent in the use of the correct hex-triplet while designing our website and advertisements.
