Photographs supplied by the Client must be of high digital quality and applicable format.

Graphic images are considered as the logo, artwork, icons, wallpaper, or anything not a photograph, but in an image file format. There is a lot of useful free images available on the internet, so you can save yourself a lot of money if you have the time to browse through millions of images. 

However, we offer graphic design services at a cost should you need higher quality professional, unique design.

All graphic image files must be supplied in digital format. There are three categories of image files, namely: static, transparent and animated. Ensure the correct file format for how you intend the image to be used.

  • Acceptable file extensions are: .png; .jpg; .jpeg; .bmp
  • Pixels for image files should not be less than 700X700 nor exceed 2000X2000 pixels (in both instances width X length indicates the maximum and not the relation of width to length).
