Snagit...A great tool for any graphic and web designer!!



In order for any website or design project to go smoothly you need the right tools. There is a great tool that alot of designers may not know.....its called Snagit by a company called Techsmith. What snag it does is let you capture anything you see on your monitor, desktop, software or video and captures it into an image...like taking a photograph of your screen. Far more advanced then your print screen option. It also lets you capture portions of video. Its a pretty powerful tool and its only $49.99.


Check it out at http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html


The image above is an actual image I captured through snagit!!

Attention Restaurant Owners: SHOW YOUR FOOD on your website!!

I have delt with alot of restaurants over the years! Some really good and some just ok. But how can you really tell if the restaurant produces a good product based on their website. I mean yes the website can look appealing but is that it?


Consumers often think with their eyes first...especially restaurant consumers. So if your building a website, why not feature pictures of your food? If a new customer goes to your website and sees a beautiful dish shot CORRECTLY....that's the best drawer...even better than a coupon. They are gonna say...."WOW, that looks good....I gotta try that!"



The pictures featured show two dishes I shot for 2 different local restaurants and you can see how appealing this is visually. This has to be done with the right lighting, camera, and photo editing software. Be creative with the shots...do some staging if possible and feature the best shots for the website. Definitely make a photo gallery of both the food and decor!!


A really good photo can go a long way to help your business!!
