Photos2Art/Image2artBusiness Owner
Apr. 2013 - Aug. 2018Grahamstown Area, South AfricaPhotos2Art/Image2Art primary focuses include:
1. digitally restoring, editing and enhancing (and printing if required) old and damaged photographs,
2. creating canvasses and wallpapers from individual personal photographs, and
3. developing fabric products in the form of cushions, quilt patches, throws and others using your personal photographs. From these basic skills we can offer you a finished product in the form of a digital image, or an image printed on photographic paper, in poster format, in a photobook, as a beautiful durable block-mounted canvas, wallpaper or various fabric items including cushions, quilts and throws. Hundreds of your memories and emotions are captured on camera, printed and never looked at again. Do you have boxes or envelopes full of photographs that you haven't looked at in ages? Don't just toss them aside - why not scan them them and keep them in a digital format so you can keep them safe. And what about all those beautiful old photographs that you found in a box in the attic or the garage - black and white, or sepia photographs going back 100 years and recording your family history. Are you fascinated by who is in them? But they are damaged with age, or damp. Let Photos2Art scan and repair them. And you can also have them re-coloured in the colours of the times. You can share them in a number of ways that are fun, beautiful to look at and long lasting. In a choice of sizes and prices, with customised layouts to suit the photographs - you can recreate the emotions of those memories where you can see them on a daily basis in a Photobook or on a calendar. And in this age of digital technology, you can share the restored or scanned images with all your friends on Facebook and Twitter.
Designs Unlimited, SAOwner/Designer
Jan. 2001Grahamstown Area, South AfricaMy business slogan is "Intelligent Websites for Visionary Minds," and this is particularly relevant to my website and logo design business. The objective is to take a client's ideas about depicting their business online and create the best possible visual image of that business in an efficient, attractive, authentic website. I showcase the very best you can be through the visual creations of websites. I create websites and logos for individuals and big and small companies. I also write articles for printed publications. I even help companies build their content, drive SEO, and create their website information architecture. Over the last 22 years, I have developed a wide range of skills through working in and around the design of websites and corresponding graphics. These skills include the design of all the relevant graphics including logos where needed, as well as using CSS, HMTL, DHTML, PHP, and MySQL to design upmarket, fast loading and efficient websites. A good command of English and knowledge of writing content for websites in the form of interesting and informative short prose is also required. I have also been working extensively on SEO for a White Label company and can now add that to my skills set. A superior knowledge of Photoshop and its tools enables the creation of these logos for clients. I also completed creative writing courses as well as various design courses and have recently joined Shaw Academy where I’m learning new skills in design work, and various other programmes. These are all skills enabling me to constantly add to the range of products and services offered to clients. I continuously up-skill myself in terms of staying up to date with the skills I need to complement the services I offer. This includes attending courses, or participating in online training on various aspects of design, the internet, web practices, and developing new products
