** Always use a tripod **
- Use a Tripod or something equivalent to assist you
- Set the camera to aperture mode (if available)
- Set the aperture to either 8 or more
- Set the camera ISO (if available) to lowest possible setting (ex:100) / Turn off AUTO ISO (if available)
- Turn off Image Stabilization (if available) for either lens/body or both
- Set the camera to timer “optional”
- Take the shot!
Always remember what you see on the camera screen is not always perfect, transfer the photographs to the computer to see the REAL results.

One of the more challenging obstacles in website design are the limits imposed on designers by the idea of “web fonts”. Web fonts are the few type faces which are installed on every system globally. To maintain a consistent look to all users, most designers will stick to using those few fonts (Verdana, Arial, Times, Georgia, and Palatino are most common) or use images to replace headers. This former solution causes a very stale, plain look that users see on every website they visit. The latter can seriously hurt your search engine rankings. Neither of those sound very appealing!

This week we designed a new great looking website for Concrete Central. They are based out of Grand Rapids and also have a Traverse City location. They are a supplier of concrete products for large commercial and retail development. Due to the nature of Concrete Centrals work, we wanted to put together a hard hitting design that was edgy but yet rock solid when it came to stability for web browsers. We used darker colors and transparent .png imaging to create a nice clean see through content area. The site will feature new projects in the works and also a rotating gallery of products and industry materials.
Look for www.concretecentralinc.com to launch in the next few weeks!
