Adobe Photoshop and graphic designing spell almost synonymous. The contribution of Photoshop to a graphic design firm has been manifold –right from designing to editing. A graphics designer who works on Photoshop is well-aware of the advantages of Photoshop over other designing tools.

Photoshop’s Paint Tools consist of four tools – Airbrush is one among them (Pencil Tool, the Paintbrush and the Paint Bucket are the rest). The Airbrush Tool of Photoshop stimulates an airbrush and it’s ideal for soft, delicate and subtle editing. A creative graphic designer even uses this function for removing dark circles from under eyes while merging or incorporating images onto their projects to make the graphics look for stunning, more vibrant.

The Airbrush Tool of Photoshop is similar to the Paintbrush only difference being its softer edge. Using the function is quite easy. You just need to click on the tool and then select the desired options from the Option Bar that includes brush size, shape and pattern. The Brush pull-down menu on the Option Bar helps you select a new brush. You can also load more brushes by clicking the circle button with the black arrow. Create brushes, save modified brushes, delete brushes, rename brushes and reset brushes are the other functions which can be initiated using the button. You need to select the layer on which you want to paint in the Layers palette. Then dragging the mouse you are all set to draw.

A graphic design company can harvest the maximum in designing using the Airbrush Tool of Photoshop. The tool comes with a Pressure slider function that modifies how much paint is sprayed when the mouse is down. The spraying of paint using the function is pretty easy and interesting. You just need to choose the airbrush tool and then click on the canvas holding the mouse down while dragging. In a custom graphic design firm, this function is frequently used. And results have been just terrific!

Graphic design expresses the creativity of the website’s brand and increases its professional look. You need the best services of a corporate graphic design company, if you are starting a project from scratch, or even planning to redesign an existing website. Most corporate graphic designers offer flash multimedia design, logo & graphic design, and web hosting. Some assure extended services, including domain registration and other marketing strategies.

Before choosing a professional graphic design company, it is very important to understand the different aspects of web color. In general, there are two types of colors used in web graphics: RGB and CMYK. These colors determine the background page elements and photographs. RGB and CMYK colors are generally associated with GIF and JPEG graphic file formats.

Graphic designers use web colors for web page backgrounds, HTML text, table and layer backgrounds, web links, GIF and JPEG files. Most designers employ web safe palette (Web 216 palette) in all computer graphics, web development applications and multimedia. These graphic designers use the following rules:



Flat graphics employing web 216 palettes are saved as GIF files;



Photographs and full color images employing RGB palette are saved as JPEG.





Moreover, a standard web page should be of 600×800, 620×480 or 1024×768 pixels. These important factors make a website look professional and attractive. A professional graphic design firm follows these rules and displays samples, both printed and online, in its portfolio. Always look for portfolios with diverse samples. Also, ensure that the portfolio boasts quality graphics and not poor quality images or basic clip art graphics.

A corporate graphic design company should have a proper background or reference. If you are looking to have a long term project from your graphic designer, check the company’s project report card. Make sure the graphic design company has any long term repeat clients and is not a startup company. Hence, determine whether a corporate graphic design company suits your business!
