Different Types Of Business / Public Limited Company

A public limited company differs from the private version in that it is able to sell its shares to the public, and may be quoted on the stock exchange or alternative investment market etc. A public company must satisfy Companies House that at least £50,000 worth of shares has been issued before it is entitles to begin business or borrow money, and two directors must be appointed.

The cost of running a public limited company are considerably higher, and so this form is better suited to large organisations.

As are nearly all banks and any other company on the FTSE 100

Different Types Of Business / Private Limited Company

A private limited company is a legal entity in its own right, separate from the people who own it, those being the shareholders. The limited liability, potential tax advantages, and the simplicity of running this type of company make this the most common business type in the U.K.

As a shareholder of a private limited company your possessions remain separate (unless they are secured against the business for borrowing), and your risk is reduced to only the money you have invested in the company and any shares you hold which you have not yet paid for.

In addition to limited liability this form of company is also considered to be more prestigious by other companies and the general public due to its legitimate nature and the way important information at Companies House.

Different Types Of Businiess / Sole Trader

Sole Trader

This is the simplest type of business, requiring no other registration other than the notification of your local tax office, but it is also the business that is exposed to the greatest personal risk.

Sole traders are responsible for all aspects to the company, and have unlimited liabillity to all debts and legal actions. This makes it harder to attract  outside investors or partners which will in turn hinder the expansion and progress of your business.

As a sole trader you are effectively the business, for example Joe Bloggs trading as JB Design. If the business were to fold with depbts you have to settle these debts from your personal assets

Jack Spratt

Jack Spratt is a Cafe and continental style bar located in a town called Devizes. It is a single entitity that is owned completely by the owners.

Businesses of this size and sector are typically of the Sole Trader business type.

Adaption Info-graphic / Data Flow 2

These images have all been taken from a book called Data Flow 2.

This particular info-graphic has taken my interest simple because of the intricacy and detail that the designer has gone to make this. 

The information has been taken from a film and maps the character interactions throughout. It demonstrates brilliant understanding of the designers knowledge within this field and has inspired me to try and make something of equal quality and style.

Even they way that the data has been collected has encouraged me to start recording the things that I do in my daily routine, so that maybe I to could turn it into something interesting. 

This design has really inspired me and is one of the best pieces of work I have seen all year.

Motion Info-graphics

This info-graphic has been made to persuade Canadians to eat Canadian. It is primarily centralised around a ding ing table that has been shot with a normal camera with graphic information being added afterwards.

This is a good concept because it does not alienate the viewer from the subject they are trying to get across and at the same time the viewer is not swamped with an over flow of information.

This is a video that is easy to digest (no pun intended) and I think that this simple face makes this video successful.

EAT CANADIAN!! (if your Canadian) 

This information relies heavily on what the viewer can see and also what they are being told by the narrator. Instead of utilising words and diagrams to get a message across it acts more like an animated story.

This again is a clever concept because it enables it to get a more emotional response from the person watching it. The soundtrack is also very fitting and creates an atmosphere of suspense and urgency.

It is a video that also relies practically all on pre drawn illustrations rather than digitally rendered images    and text.

This video is a very slick piece of design. The information and text moves extremely fluidly from one point to the next and also makes it very easy and clear for the viewer to understand, what is a pretty boring and complicated subject.

This info graphic shows the amount of asteroids that have been detected orbiting in our solar system from 1980 to 2003.

As the years tick by in the bottom left hand corner it the amount of asteroids increases until there is a thick green ring of hundreds of thousands of asteroids. 

The idea behind it is simple and the information alone is enough to shock the viewer.

This inforgraphic is about the struggles and and joys of becoming an adult and growing up. I have blogged this because I felt that it was change (in terms of the information) to the other infographics I have been looking at.

It is light hearted and informative at the same time. The animation is also very well professional and it has been strung together very well. 

Info-Graphics 1

This is an info-graphic of the different types of cafe commonly found in Italy. According to the person who posted this piece, it is not uncommon for the italians to be particularly fussy about their coffee and many of the barristers have to put up with what we would see as over the top.

It caught my eye because of he varied usage and subtle changes of the colour brown. I can almost smell the coffee as im looking at it. The only criticism I would have is that the text towards the top of the design could have been better placed and at a better scale.

Although I am not massively into typography I am into the way information is categorised and stored. This is lovely way of storing type faces in a 2D format. Avery clever concept.

I also like the way that they have kept the same style of the normal periodic tables, and that the only difference is the type.

This design is of a creative C.V. It os a clever way of showing to someone what you are interested in and how often that interest is expressed. It also show to that person how much time you spend on the necessities in life that may not be as interesting as the things you want to be doing.

Although it is clever idea, I would not attempt to design a C.V like this for real unless I was sending to someone in order to obtain a creative job.

This info graphic is very excellent piece of design indeed. Although I am not particularly interested in the actual meaning behind the content, it has still struck a chord with me in terms of aesthetic value.

The way the information is displayed is very graceful and it flows very well together. The way it forms an arrow that points towards the title is also a very nice touch.

I also like the fact that it is quite minimal....now that might not sound right when it comes to talking about an info-graphic but the usage of just one colour plus stock really makes the image clear, and this is achieved by not cluttering the rest of the image with unnecessary colour or patterns.

This info-graphic mainly caught my eye because of the range of colours that have been layered together. It shows what people are mostly doing at certain points in their lives. It is a nice idea and shows accurate data, but I also think that it is data that people, to a certain extent already know.

with statistical data, like this, the main thing to try and to is to show as much contrast between the data as possible to really hit home the message.

BBC

The BBC started in 1936 when it became the worlds first broadcaster of television.

There first logo (above) was designed by a man called Abram Games who had made his name previously designing the Festival of Britain Logo.

Several years later thi logo was changed to incorporate the lettering of the BBC. This as then placed within a circle.

In 1963 a year later, the emblem changed again. This was to fit in with the BBC's launch of a new channel, BBC 2 that would be broadcast in colour. The logo was changed to blue to make people change from black and white sets to colour.

By the 1980's , the channel adopted the futuristic stripy lettering and BBC Ones's clocks became digital entities. By 1985 the new computer originated word or COW was introduced so the globe went virtual. It wasn't until one year later that BB2 got a new identity, designed by BBC Senior Designer, Alan Leapes.

In 1988 a new logo designed by Michael peters began to be used on such products as paper cups ,videos, books and stationery.

The nineties brought a new approach of BBC'c visual identity, as Martin Lambie-Nairn's design company started a highly successful series of identities including the large numeral 1 and 2 for the two BBc channels.

Six years later, Lambie-Nairn would also tackle the BBC's corporate logo as to make it look more modern.

The BBC is obviously one of the most regognised brands in the entire would. At first I was surprised at  the number of times they had changed and adapted their logo. But after taking into consideration just how long they have been around for and the fact that they and their identity is always on show, I realised that this was not strange. 

The BBC's logo design has alway been very plain and conservative, a reputation that these days they are fairly eager to shake (in some areas of their corporation).

The logos are also different to the American news corporations that tend to have a more contemporary design with a lot more colour, the same could also be said for some of the other British networks like channel 4.
