After Changing Hair Color

Worried about Cost & Time? Find out Your Best Outsourcing Partner.

2009-10-31T02:36:00.000-07:00

All over the world, internet facility is getting better day by day. It has already started streamlining many businesses globally. Outsourcing or hiring expertise from offshore sources is a very common trend in business now. Especially, outsourcing of graphic and website design become very popular in the industry. Design or advertising companies, online ecommerce sites, retailers, web-development sites, textiles and printing firms are now casting their search-light around the world for an outsourcing partner. But as a new business, it raises some questions what I want to put under the microscope to make better understanding.
Two main concerns about outsourcing are Cost & Time
Cost: “A penny saved is a penny gained.” - English proverb.
Cost-effectiveness is the vital issue in any business when it has to struggle in a bloodthirsty competition. The ultimate consequence of such competition is getting ‘cheaper’. So, the unpleasant truth is that your profit lies in cutting down costs. So, companies from richer countries are looking for overseas expertise to work for them as a full-service or partial working partner. Particularly, they seek for those countries where cheap and skilled human resource is available, accompanied by a supportive infrastructure for sustainable business. Not only labor cost, outsourcing also cuts down the operating expenses of maintaining an office or workstation.

Outsourcer also enjoys some indemnity. They may not pay their overseas partner when they fail to make proper delivery. But, in their own studio, all company has to pay their employee according to their laws and contracts. So, in outsourcing, cost is confined only into finished product or delivery. As a result, one can easily predetermine his cost without facing any threat from hidden cost or system loss.

I suggest settling the job specification and price for every different task. It will reduce hassle and dissatisfaction for both part of outsourcing.

Time: “To choose time is to save time.” - Francis Bacon.
Outsourcing saves time in many ways. For a full-service outsourcing, all you need is just to provide a clear guideline about the job to your outsourcing counterpart. Apart from any exception, you will get it done by the deadline.

Also you can outsource some part of your job; it may enhance your total efficiency. Simply, fragment your job planfully. If you think to do the creative part (composition, color etc) of the design yourself you can send the skill-oriented jobs (clipping path, masking etc) to your offshore hand. It will endow you with extra time to spend for creativity. So, planned outsourcing will allow you making outstanding product within quicker time. It will also contribute to your productivity.

Another very important thing in outsourcing is to keep the production running round-the-clock. At the evening, when you are going to close your workstation leaving many jobs undone for tomorrow, the other part of the globe is going to start the day-time. Think, if you get somebody doing rest of your jobs continue from your closing time, how it would be? So, in such need you can lend the hand of an outsourcing partner. In addition, many outsourcing firms keep their service open for 24 hours in every days of a week. So, for a busy company outsourcing becomes a boon to multiply its business.

About Photo Manipulation

2009-09-09T05:45:00.000-07:00

Images-manipulation

Images usually are in need of some correction, modification or development to be better and flawless. In many cases images have some lacking or limitations, specially when they are going to serve any certain purpose. An image has the potentiality to say more realistically than any other forms of expression. So, professionals in visual medium always rummage around for perfectly serviceable images. Photo Manipulation becomes the everyday means to meet up their thirst for a perfect image.

Manipulation; now and before:

Photo manipulation was a hand-drawn process before we are endowed with computer. Retouching with ink, paint, double-exposure, over-exposure, cut photos or negatives, rearrange cuttings together, chromolithograph, scratching Polaroid and repainting are some ways to manipulate photos manually.

But now, we all know that image manipulation has become a child’s play with computer aided tools. Anyone, even a non-professional, can bring magical changes in an image. It has more photographic and realistic effect rather than the manually done manipulations.

History of Image Manipulation:

Image and Image manipulation have been walking shoulder to shoulder since the prehistoric era from when men became able to do drawing and painting. Many evidences are there to speak for archaic image manipulation.

Image manipulation, if we regard so, is observed in ancient societies. Then people used to paint their own faces to impose an extra effect on their personality, e.g. effect of power, affection, horror, anger, strength. In cave-art some peculiar images were found which were not fully realistic. Most of these were some fusion of man and animal or other species of animal, bird or fish.

This sort of image manipulation has been evolving with the development of human civilizations. Ancient civilization of Indus valley, Inca, Maya, Greek, Roman, Egypt - everywhere numerous manipulation of real-things are remaining available in art and painting. But never was it a purposeless art that came out only as a will of mind of the artist. Always image and the art of image manipulation have a supplementary role in socio-political and socio-cultural issues.

But when it is about photographs, manipulation adds further dimensions of impersonal truthfulness and mass-belief. So, image manipulation relates with some different issue other than merely art or painting.
