Graphic Design

Graphic design and web design are often thought of as interchangeable. We do not see things that way. We consider graphic design an entirely separate discipline that goes beyond merely placing graphics on a website. Graphic design covers a variety of elements, from logos to advertising images. The keys to great graphic design are knowledge and creativity. One without the other produces less-than-effective results. The WebTek team has both – which is just what you need.

WHY GRAPHIC DESIGN IS IMPORTANT?

Graphic design is important for the simple fact that human beings are visual creatures. Our brains take in information through our eyes before we even begin to read content or listen to audio. Visual information is powerful enough to inform, educate, and create impressions even without any additional data to work with.

At WebTek Interactive, we approach graphic design from a number of different angles:

Information Visualization

A single image can provide viewers with a ton of helpful information. Something as simple as a company logo plants a seed in the minds of viewers as to what that brand is all about. More detailed images – like infographics, for example – provide more specific information but in bite-size chunks. Well-designed graphics help viewers visualize information in ways that text cannot.

Branding

A company's brand is more than its logo and color scheme. Branding is the process of presenting a specific image to customers. Graphics are undoubtedly part of the package. Graphic design for branding purposes starts with a company logo and color scheme. Designing other graphics thereafter includes incorporating logo and color scheme whenever possible. The end goal is to create a cohesive presentation that reminds viewers of the company's brand with every exposure.

Content Diversification

Text-based content is still the primary form of content online. However, graphical content has its place as well. In some cases, graphics do a better job of conveying information than any other form of content. Infographics and videos are perfect examples. Infographics provide detailed information in a clear, concise, easily understood format. Video combines graphic images with audio and text to drive home complicated messages that might not be as clearly conveyed through other forms of content.

Graphic design allows us the opportunity to diversify content across many forms. Best of all, image-based content is easily shareable on social media channels.

WEBTEK’s DESIGN PROCESS

Effective graphic design is not limited to quickly drawing sketches on paper. The design process is a multi-step process that begins with a need and ultimately ends with publishing graphic images that get results. Our process is as follows:

Review

Graphic design starts with reviewing the customer’s needs and budget. We need to know what the client expects, how much the client has to spend, any pertinent delivery deadlines, how graphics will be utilized, etc. The review process provides the framework on which everything else is built.

Research

Research is necessary to understand how to best utilize graphic images. We research the client’s industry, its target audience, its website, and the competition. We also research the client’s company culture and brand influence.

Conceptualize

The third step is to combine the information gleaned from review and research to begin coming up with ideas. For example, we may start with basic concepts for a company logo and work from there. We may pull the best elements from multiple concepts to produce a particular design.

Create

The ideas we created in the Conception stage are ‘put to paper’ in the Create stage. This step involves justifying each conceptual idea that goes on to be further developed. The step of creating is about concentrating on doing something with the most effective concepts.

Evolve

Even the creation process doesn’t ultimately drive us to the finished product. Each created graphic goes through an evolution process as we try to combine our vision with the client’s.

Finalization

After graphics have gone through their evolution to the point that everyone agrees, it is time to finalize. Now the graphics are ready for use – be that digital, print, or both.
