Art to Define Your Unique Identity

Evolution of Graphics

Concept Stages

Graphics, or computer-generated artwork like logos, designs and images start with a concept. How can we best represent your products or services? What kind of message do we want to convey? Who is the target audience? How can we best appeal to them? This is the solution-providing approach used by the 3 Wave Studio.

Graphical Development

After the rough draft has been scanned in to the computer, it becomes a background template on which to create the final piece. We use Adobe Illustrator to develop the Vector Artwork.

Vector Artwork differs from rasterized or bitmap files in that they are Scalable. Vector Art Files are a series of mathematical equations that tell the computer, or printing device how to display the graphic. That way, if you want to blow up your graphic so that it is large enough to cover a billboard along the highway, or shrink it down to put on a ball-point pen or custom cuff links, you can be assured that it will look the same.

Bitmap Images are files that are composed of thousands of square blocks of colors called pixels. No doubt, in this day-in-age of digital cameras that you know what a pixel is. Bitmap images like JPEGs or GIFs or PNGs are not scalable, but are the preferred files for display on the World Wide Web.

Integrated Digital Design

Here is where it all comes together. The beauty of technology and its advances that allow this all to take place on a single computer. Thanks to the gifted and talented folks at Adobe, we have the Creative Suite. Now we can take your logos, images, graphics and designs and deliver them in whatever format you might want:

• On the World Wide Web in the form of a web site.
  
  
• In Print format to be delivered in the form of a brochure, flyer, business card or anything else you can think of.
  (Note: We outsource our printing needs to local printing professionals who can handle any of our printing requests.)
