Welcome to the SCC blog

As with every designer we colaborate with, mentions the Photoshop CS5 problem. The key difference between Photoshop CS4 and CS5 is that  CS5 is a full 64-bit application. This is what Adobe says caused it so much work and delay; rewriting the user interface from Carbon to Cocoa.

Photoshop CS5 does have new features, but for those working with huge files, the 64-bit part is essential. It means that working with bigger files can be much faster, because operations can be performed in RAM.

The days of the scratch volume are over for Mac Pro users with adequate memory (excepting really monster jobs exceeding 60GB or so).
Memory usage
Memory in 32-bit CS5 is limited to 2100MB, nearly 1GB less than with Photoshop CS4 (3072MB vs …

The first impression any potential customer will have of your brand is through the image it projects. We create logos for businesses that are solid, trustworthy and exude professionalism.

When executed perfectly, ‘the logo’ is an extremely powerful asset to a client’s brand that should shine through with prowess. However, creating a brilliant visual representation of a brand requires much more than just graphic-design and a copy of Adobe Illustrator.

It’s not all Mac, Adobe and technology at SCC. We are also able to create hand rendered artwork in a comic-esque style (see above).

The image is an ‘Elite Bouncer’ (Big Daddy) from the popular video-game Bioshock.

The only Photoshop work is at the footer of the artwork and typed-name. Everything else is hand-rendered.

Design is not art
Every designer will tell you ‘we do not create for self-expression’, we use graphic design to evoke a service to solve communication problems within a B2B or B2C marketplace – this therefore helps market a product or service.

Graphic Design – The World’s most underrated profession
Clients always think graphic design is easy and will want us (designers) to work for nothing. Purchasing Adobe’s Creative Suite will not make you a designer, nor will it make you a better graphic designer. Most clients will not appreciate good design, marketing or advertising. What good designers do is lengthy and poised with problem solving – getting the end user to be evoked into a call-to-action is not easy.

Designers are always on the move as the world in which we live in is constantly changing and a designers …
