Graphic Design

When we create a website we use various graphic design techniques to achieve an attractive and appealing template. Graphic design is used in most aspects of the website build from the basic theme to the more complicated flash banners. We feel that this aspect of web design is one of the most important and so receives extra attention from our web designers.

Using graphics for web design

We integrate graphics into as much of our web design work as possible. This requires a lot of skill and technique and sometimes we will bring in a specialist graphic designer just so that you get the best outcome. If you wanted to try designing some graphics yourself then we would recommend using a mixture of the following programs:

• Adobe Illustrator - this application is perfect for drawing illustrations, creating unique graphics, using free hand and editing images.
• Adobe Photoshop - a great application for editing images by adding styles and unique effects.
• Macromedia Fireworks - easy to use all round application for creating all kinds of graphics.
• Microsoft Paint - standard windows application, well-known fast and easy to use.

You can buy these programs and download them online or find them in your local computer shop. Try a demo and then the one you feel most comfortable with. We would recommend Fireworks if your more of a web designers looking to do some graphic design and Illustrator if your going to be focusing on pure graphic creation.

We are always creating new graphics so if you need some design work done for your website then contact us and we'll be glad to offer our services to you.
