stock & customizable graphic art

This year, we will be uploading a section of stock art that you can buy for less cost than having us design your project from scratch. Options will include having us customize it for your print project or your website. Look for this section sometime in June or July.

OUR SPECIALTY GRAPHICS
We specialize in middle to high end graphics for print and web applications. While we do a certain amount of vector imaging, we prefer raster images because most of the work we do is true color, high end, photo quality graphic art.

OUR CLIENTS
Most of the people we do graphic art for are on a budget. They are individuals or small budding companies who need professional work at reasonable prices.

WE TRY TO MAKE IT EASY
Many people using our webart are uploading it themselves or need us to insert it in their pages.

Those clients ordering printable art usually are printing it in-house. Because they are doing small volume and running on a limited budget, it is more cost effective for them to buy a good color printer than to pay for professional printing. So, to save us all frustration, we save to .TIF format without margins or margin indicators and at the highest ppi and dpi possible for them to download and handle. With careful instructions, they learn to either print straight from the file, or can bring it into their favorite publishing program, printing at "BEST."

Of course, sooner or later, they decide to go for a large run and contact a professional printer with their file. That's usually when we get a call from the printer asking for their favored format.

PRICING:
Web graphics are usually low-priced, starting around $39. Projects where extensive detailing and heavy rendering are required can run into the thousands, however.
