The Importance of Product Illustrations

June 15th, 2009

When designing a website, there are so many thing one has to look after, that sometimes important details get overlooked.  For example, when a client asks for a site, usually the thing they focus most on is design and color, and one of the most ignored things is product illustration.  Professional illustration is one of the best and easiest ways to make a website or advertisement much more effective and that is why at Whack Media Design, that job is left to professionals.
When launching a new website, product or advertising campaign, the client must make sure the image shown is near perfect.  Your ideas can be shown in a flashy, professional way with a great illustration, especially a digitally enhanced one.  Digital illustration is the perfect tool to enhance a product’s visual impact on customers.  It is better than photography in many ways because it can be perfectly colored and it can be shown before the product is actually manufactured.
Details nowadays are more important than ever due to the great deal of technology everyone is exposed to.  Using 3D illustration can give customers a perspective unlike any other they could experience in the past.  The 3D experience provides details of a product in every possible angle and an up-close look from every possible perspective, to a point where the customer can almost feel the product in his/her hands.
Whack Media Design provides all the professional tools a business needs to provide customers or clients with the most complete experience in product illustration.  Realistic, digitally enhanced, and 3D illustrations are all done by experienced and talented artists capable of taking your product to the next level.

Fred Williams Homebuilder – website re-design

June 10th, 2009

Fred Williams Homebuilders is one of the leading Home builders in the state of Georgia.  They came to us with the task of giving their website a more up-to-date look that would give them a better overall image online.  We were also asked to develop a property listings module that would allow them to list their available properties on the site.

#1 Reorganization and Functionality

We gathered all the information that was given to us by the client and reorganized the navigation, as well as how the sections would link to one another in a smart and efficient way.  Another challenge with this site was the property listings area.  Here we had to dynamically get the system to display the correct properties in the specific “Communities” where they were located. All in all it was a very challenging project that we tackled in a smart way with a very satisfying outcome. (more…)

Tips on choosing a Chicago Web Design Company

June 10th, 2009

If you are looking for a Chicago web design company, it is very important to have several key things in mind.  When you’re new to this world, many times you’ll get caught up in the sweet talk and great offers that are thrown at you from all directions.  However, it is always important to keep your cool and choose wisely, with no hurries.
The first step is to always be skeptical.  Chicago web design companies will many times offer unreachable results and make impossible promises.  These types of promises include things like making your website number one on search engines.  Realistically speaking, getting to number one on a search engine like google is nearly impossible.  A high rank is always possible, but when you are promised number one, don’t believe it.
Another tricky subject when talking about web design is marketing.  Many Chicago web design companies will offer you unbelievable marketing tactics and charge you thousands of dollars for them.  What you should know is marketing on the internet can always be free if you have enough time.  The only reason to hire a design firm for marketing is if you don’t have time to take care of it yourself, and even then, the prices shouldn’t be too high.
Finally, history and portfolio are always a must when picking a web design company that fits your needs.  No matter how new the design firm is, it should always have a portfolio.  The people who belong to the company should have experience, even if it is before they started their own business.  A portfolio, more than anything, allows you to see the quality of the designers’ job and lets you picture what your site will look like.  Knowing about the history of the company is also key because it lets you find out about its reputation in the past.
So always remember, when choosing a Chicago web design company or any firm in general, never disregard false promises, high marketing prices, a full portfolio, or a bad reputation.
