Giving Back to the Community is One of our Top Priorities
Every year or two since 2015, CryoDragon has been choosing one nonprofit to donate a website to. Although we receive many applications for our website donation contest, only one winner is selected to receive a free custom website from our team to help give them a stronger online presence.
CryoDragon is so proud to have partnered with the following charities and not-for-profit organizations throughout the years and give back to various communities around the world.
Great question! There are several key differences between designing graphics for online/digital assets and print material. First of all, you’re working with different types of media, so the design approach will have to be different. Digital assets need to be captivating to an online audience, whereas print assets need to cater to the type of audience each design is made for (like the readers of a magazine, or visitors to your tradeshow booth, etc.). In other words, one type of design is made for viewing on the web, while the other type of design is made so that the finished product can be held in your hand.
Secondly, the adaptability of your design will be different based on your application. If we are doing a print graphic, we are restricted by the dimensions of the specific material you choose to print our graphic on. If we are doing a web graphic, we are still restricted by dimensions, but we have to prepare graphics for different dimensions of screen sizes, social media advertisement dimensions, etc. Web graphics becomes a bit more complex because you may want to apply the graphic to various similar applications, all of which have different dimensions and require an adaptation of the original graphic.
Thirdly, the colour spaces that you have to work with are different depending on whether you are creating graphics for web or print use. For print design, you’ll be using CMYK colour spaces that are suitable for printers. Meanwhile, for web graphics, you’ll be using RGB color spaces or hexadecimal colour schemes to create an image that can be displayed well from screen to screen .
There are many other minute differences between the two, but it is a good idea to always keep in mind what your end goal is, and how best to achieve it using a good balance between web and print graphics. At CryoDragon, our Kitchener-Waterloo graphic design experts will work with you to determine the best solution for your needs.
