Did you have a question?
Do you have a question about something on our site? Perhaps you are looking for custom and unique graphics and would like to know more. It does not matter what the case, if you have a question, check out the frequently asked questions below. If you can find what you need below, feel free to contact our friendly service here

Q: Do I need to hire a "local" web site designer?

A:   We create web sites for clients who are local as well as out of state. By using the Internet, email and the telephone, it is possible to communicate effectively with clients in any location.

 
Q: I don't know where to start. Can you help me?

A:   Contact us! We'll listen to your needs and tell you what your options are.  A job may seem overwhelming until you have the right experts helping you out. We can put things in perspective and offer solutions that you may not have even considered.

 
Q: Who owns the copyright for work Nsane Graphics has done for me?

A:   Copyright is yours upon receipt of final payment. We do, however, reserve the right to use any work for promotional purposes.

 
Q: How will I receive my design once it is finished?

A:   A finished project is yours upon receipt of final payment.  At your request, we will supply the electronic files to you on CD or through e-mail. We also keep a copy of your project on file for later updates or should you lose your copy.

 
Q: What is RGB?

A:   The RGB color model or RBG color standard (often spelled RBG in historical engineering literature) is an additive model in which red, green, and blue (often used in additive light models) are combined in various ways to reproduce other colors. The name of the model and the abbreviation ‘RGB’ come from the three primary colors, red, green, and blue and the technological development of cathode ray tubes which could display color instead of a monochrome phosphoresence (including grey scaling) such as black and white film and television imaging.
   The term RGBA is also used, to mean ?Red, Green, Blue, Alpha. This is not a different color model, but a representation; the Alpha is used for transparency.
   These three colors should not be confused with the primary pigments of red, blue, and yellow, known in the art world as ‘primary colors’, as the latter combine based on reflection and absorbstion of photons whereas RGB depends on emission of photons from a compound excited to a higher energy state by impact with an electron beam.
   The RGB color model itself does not define what is meant by ‘red’, ‘green’ and ‘blue’ (spectroscopically), and so the results of mixing them are not specified as exact (but relative, and averaged by the human eye).
   When the exact spectral make-up of the red, green and blue primaries are defined, the color model would then become what is known in science and engineering as an absolute color space, such as sRGB or Adobe RGB; see RGB color spaces for more details.
   This article discusses concepts common to all the different RGB color spaces that use the RGB color model, which are used in one implementation or another historically in color image producing electronics technology.

 
Q: What is CMYK?

A:   CMYK (short for cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (Black)) is a subtractive color model used in color printing.
   A common misconception is that this color model is based on actual mixing of pigments, however when seen under a microscope you will see that the dots are printed next to each other and there is very little mixing. This is how a printer is able to reproduce rich red and blue from cyan, magenta, and yellow. By combining small enough ink dots next to each other an optical illusion is caused, for example, humans perceive tiny magenta and yellow dots placed next to each other as red.[clarify]
   In this way the mixture of ideal CMY colors is subtractive (cyan, magenta, and yellow printed together on white result in black). CMYK works on an optical illusion that is based on light absorption. The colors that are seen are from the part of light that is not absorbed.[clarify] In CMYK, magenta plus yellow produces red, magenta plus cyan makes blue and cyan plus yellow generates green.

 
Q: What are raster graphics?

A:   A raster graphics image, digital image, or bitmap, is a data file or structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of colour, on a computer monitor, paper, or other display medium.
   A bitmap or a raster image corresponds bit for bit with an image displayed on a screen, probably in the same format as it would be stored in the display's video memory or maybe as a device independent bitmap. A bitmap is characterised by the width and height of the image in pixels and the number of bits per pixel, which determines the number of colours it can represent.
   In the printing and prepress industries raster graphics are known as contones (from "continuous tones") whereas vector graphics are known as line work.
   The colour of each pixel is individually defined; images in the RGB colour space, for instance, often consist of coloured pixels defined by three bytes — one byte each for red, green and blue. Less colourful images require less information per pixel; for example, an image with only black and white pixels requires only a single bit for each pixel. Raster graphics are distinguished from vector graphics in that vector graphics represent an image through the use of geometric objects such as curves and polygons.
   A coloured raster image (or pixmap) will usually have pixels with between one and eight bits for each of the red, green, and blue components, though other colour encodings are also used, such as four- or eight-bit indexed representations that use vector quantisation on the (R, G, B) vectors. The green component sometimes has more bits than the other two to allow for the human eye's greater discrimination in this component.

 
Q: What is print quality?

A:   Print quality is 300 dots per inch (DPI). Up to a point, printers with higher DPI produce clearer and more detailed output. A printer does not necessarily have a single DPI measurement; it is dependent on the print mode, which is usually influenced by driver settings. The range of DPI supported by a printer is most dependent on the print head technology it uses. Dpi is also referred to as pixels per inch.
   Pixels per inch (PPI) or pixel density is a measurement of the resolution of a computer display, related to the size of the display in inches and the total number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions. This measurement is often referred to as dots per inch, though that measurement more accurately refers to the resolution of a computer printer. PPI may also be used to describe the resolution of an image scanner or digital camera; in this context, it is synonymous with samples per inch.

 
Q: What are vector graphics or what is vectoring?

A:   Vector graphics, also called geometric modeling or object-oriented graphics, are the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons, which are all based upon mathematical equations to represent images in computer graphics. It is used in contrast to the term raster graphics, which is the representation of images as a collection of pixels.
   

Example showing effect of vector graphics versus raster graphics. The original vector-based illustration is at the left. The upper-right image illustrates magnification of 7x as a vector image. The lower-right image illustrates the same magnification as a bitmap image. Raster images are based on pixels and thus scale with loss of clarity, while vector-based images can be scaled indefinitely without degradation.
