Escape Key Graphics is proud to announce the release of SRS Scratch Removal’s new website….SRSScratch.com

SRS Scratch Removal has been repairing windows for quite a while under the guidance of Mr. Matt Hatcher. Not long ago Matt decided it was time that SRS Scratch Removal had a bold presence on the web. Hearing Matt’s passion for what he did made me feel sure that the home page needed to show what his company did in a forthright visual manner. By using Flash animation you get the picture real quick of what SRS does and what they can do for you. We went with a simple and easy to understand navigation system and reverse text on a blue background to make the words pop off of the screen. Some sound design combined with the great photography and concise text provided by Matt produced a great site.

SRS Scratch Removal is growing and now they have a site that will grow with them. Their future is bright and it’s going to be a thrill to witness.

Bitmap and Vector Graphics; A Simple Explanation

By John Potter

A bitmap image

Bitmap graphics; sometimes called raster graphics, are made up of a bunch of different colored pixels placed into a pattern that appears as an image when seen at a resolution where the pixels are small. Each pixel is defined by the amount of three colors that it has in it, which are red, green and blue. This is the RGB value you may hear about from time to time. The computer reads three sets of numbers that describes these color values and then displays a pixel with the described characteristics on the screen. This works well for photos and things like that since it can show subtle variations in color and value (light to dark). In print this kind of image is sometimes referred to as continuous tone image. The term “rasterizing” means to taking an image that is not a bitmap and turning it into one.
