Graphic Design

Graphic Design is the creation of visual media. This is generally used for marketing, business cards, logos, publications, brochures, mailings, and invoices. Just about anything which can be used to inform others about your business.

Sloppy or fuzzy images hurt! No image is better than a poor one. Content, style, and crisp, clear images help to promote your business.

ShaBruCha Graphics is particular about the images we produce. We want them to be the best possible. We will work within your budget to produce logos, banners, web page images and advertising images which reflect your company, its products or services, appeals to the targeted audience, and provides recognition for your company.

The image on the right was from a scanned black and white drawing and then the image was "painted" on the computer using Photoshop.

Already have a logo? We will incorporate your current logo and any company motto in our designs. If you have the ability and skills needed to design your own graphics, we will be happy to work with the graphics you provide.

ShaBruCha Graphics uses several programs in designing Web sites. These include authoring software and graphics programs. The images and pages produced are saved in various formats according to need.

We want you to be proud of any web page we design, and we especially want you to be satisfied with our work. We will place your pages on a site which is accessible to you so that you may view our progress, tell us what you like and don't like, have changes made, and give you the chance to see how your pages will look before they are available to the public.

Flash and Animations

Flash entry pages and the extensive use of flash images, excessive animation images, and music can be annoying to many people. This can also cause an increase in loading time - time in which your potential visitor goes elsewhere. Your Web site should be inviting, pleasing, fast loading, and easy to navigate. Flash and animations are excellent when used correctly - to inform and/or emphasize those points you want your visitor to note. They should not distract your visitor from your main points nor should they drive the visitor away. At present search engines do not read text well on flash sites. This means that when they search flash pages, there is nothing for the search engine to read.

Animations should be kept within reason. Lots of blinking and moving images detract from your message.

Banners and Advertising

Banners are one method of advertising your site and ShaBruCha Graphics can design static or animated banners for you. Outside links to your page are another method (along with search engine submissions). We urge both methods in helping you to market your site. We will help you find Internet sources which will provide a link to your site and, which may also show your small ad banner. Additional advertising should be done in your local paper, magazines, and other printed media, such as, brochures, business cards and direct mailings. Always be sure to list your site address in any printed material or advertisements!
