Design Tools Used at Studio-Connect

KEEPING UP TO DATE WITH PROFESSIONAL-QUALITY DESIGN TOOLS

At Studio-Connect we know a site that maintains professional appearance will reflect well upon your business. To accomplish this we use professional design software that produces quality images and layouts with a minimal footprint.

Adobe (and formerly Macromedia) continue to be a leader in design tools for the web and print. Studio-Connect uses Macromedia Studio MX 2004, including these products for design:

FIREWORKS MX 2004

Fireworks MX 2004 is a proven leader in photo and image editing software. We perform all photo touch-ups and bitmap image editing using Fireworks. Fireworks also provides vector image editing tools, and while not being our primary software for print or large web images, it works superbly in almost all cases.

When creating your site we typically use stock photos containing content related to your site's stated goals. We can also do custom photography for your site for a minimal additional charge. Custom photos are also available via Web Select.

FREEHAND MX

Freehand MX is Macromedia's primary vector image editing software and is commonly used for print illustrations and complex web images. When working on a site this software works best at splitting large stock vector images to create custom arrangements.

While we do not do custom illustrations in-house at Studio-Connect, we can set you up with a graphic designer if you need one!
