finding the right image
COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
The quality of professional photography always shows, and it is worth investing in these services to give the professional image you undoubtedly want to project to your market for your business.
Blue Violet works closely with local photographers, and we use our own skills to edit and optimise the original photographs to the size and style required for each project. In the example to the right, we edited the original photograph of the fenland windmill so that the end result had the appearance of a painting.
Alternatively, we have access to millions of cost-effective library images, such as the lower image shown to the right, and can show you a suitable selection to choose from for your project, whatever the subject.
PHOTO EDITING
Blue Violet has years of experience in editing and optimising images — this can start from a simple retouching process, perhaps for your company’s staff photos, which can be thought of as the equivalent of studio make-up for a tv appearance!
Another example of how we can bring out the best in your photos is shown in the example opposite — we toned down the background in the original image of the car so that the important element of the photo has the impact it deserves, and sharpened and brightened the overall tone of the image to enhance it further.
PHOTO RESTORATION
However, for more challenging projects, we can also help. Many people have precious family photographs that have either faded or become damaged over the years.
We have experience of restoring these prints digitally to create a new photograph that is fresher and free of blemishes, as can be seen in the example opposite of an excerpt from a family photo where the original print was creased and torn. The restored image created by Blue Violet removes this damage.
Contact Blue Violet if you have any precious photographs in need of some attention to help restore them to good health!
ILLUSTRATION
Illustration and creative original artwork are extremely important elements of Blue Violet’s work. Every project we work on is unique and requires different styles, techniques and approaches to bring it to optimum success. Within Blue Violet, we have a range of creative skills, including digital illustration, as shown opposite.
We are often asked to draw maps in clients’ corporate colours — these can then be used in brochures and also on websites. Naturally, our illustration skills can be used for more imaginative purposes than this as well, and a prime example is logo design. The example opposite shows the main artwork used within a logo (the goldcrest bird image) used as part of Goldcrest Decking’s logo.
However, we also possess skills in more traditional art, as can be seen by viewing Anne Ward’s art website.
