Graphics

Static and animated graphics samples.

Pictures are a basic form of communication. We used them long before printed words appeared. They bring life to a website, and help visitors find what they want.  There's a problem, though: Pictures can take considerable time to transmit over the Internet. You don't want to leave your visitors waiting around for them to load.

Compunet Services designers understand the importance of good graphics. Using state-of-the-art hardware and software, they create professional-looking graphics that are optimized for online use. They've mastered the balancing act of producing graphics that look good and load fast.

Here are some attention-getting banners, icons, and other graphics created by our digital artists. (Please note that these are examples only, and will not link to other sites if clicked.)

   

ANIMATED BANNERS
Graphical banners are the most popular advertising method on the World Wide Web.  Banners can be targeted for specific audiences to deliver your message with maximum impact. On your website, banners can announce new products and promotions, and can quickly draw visitors to a specific page or area. Here are some samples of animated banners in standard and small sizes.

     



     

 
 
ICONS
Icons are a universal part of modern computing. Used correctly, they make your website easy and fun to navigate.

LOGO ADAPTATION
Here is a logo supplied by one of our clients. This design worked well for print media, but did not migrate well to the computer screen. We took advantage of modern graphic "depth" techniques to make it considerably more vivid and attention-getting on screen, while still capturing the look of the original.

Image Scanning

Scanning samples of prints, slides, negatives, and other artwork, plus samples of our image manipulation techniques.

At CompuNet Services , we take scanning seriously. Our imaging experts can make bad photos look good and good photos look great. Your logos, line art, and other business graphics will look sharp and accurate on the computer screen. Here are some examples:

COLOR PHOTO
This photo was scanned from a 35mm color print. It was then color-corrected, reduced, and sharpened. Our specialized image-sharpening process avoids the "halos" associated with standard processes.

BLACK & WHITE LINE ART
This high-resolution image was scanned from a public-domain art book. Imperfections in the paper were removed, and the image was reduced and sharpened.

BEFORE & AFTER
These images demonstrate how our graphics experts can take your existing printed materials and prepare them for your website.

The image of the vase was scanned from a client's product catalog, which was printed in the standard four-color process. High-resolution scanners pick up tiny details of the four-color process, causing the common distortion problem you see here. In the "after" image, the distortion was removed by a multi-step clarification process. The extraneous items in the photo were removed digitally, and the final image sharpened.

 

Multimedia

Streaming audio, video, MIDI, and more.

Depending on your website's focus, you may wish to include multimedia elements. If you're in the entertainment industry, multimedia is a must—but other types of businesses and organizations will benefit as well. Streaming videos—videos the visitor can watch in real time—can show off products in ways that static pictures can't.

We have extensive experience creating multimedia for all types of websites. Used properly, multimedia is an effective sales tool that generates word-of-mouth advertising and lures people back to your site.

 

MIDI AND MP3 MUSIC SAMPLES
Here are some examples of original music from the CompuNet Services

 Music Department. Click the links to hear them.

INTRODUCTION - This short MIDI file can be embedded in a home or "splash" page, where it will play automatically. Because MIDI is a very efficient data format, the file takes only a second to download over a standard modem.

WESTERN THEME - This extended-length MIDI is an example of a custom theme. We can create MIDI arrangements for you in almost any style.

FUNKY THEME - This is an MP3 file, a format for playing music over the Internet at near-CD quality. This format is most appropriate for music demos.

     

ONLINE VIDEO
PARA-CYCLE PROMO - This client's video was digitized for use on their website (used here by permission). The streaming RealMedia format plays in real-time; the visitor doesn't need to download the entire video before viewing
