Testimonials
"OBS designed and developed the website on Informa’s proprietary content management system and were sufficiently flexible to adapt to our internal workflow requirements. OBS’s strong design and development skills meant that the project was completed in time to coincide with the launch date for the magazine.
The Enterprise Risk website has helped Informa to increase the magazine’s circulation and additionally provides a useful platform for marketing and providing trial subscriptions. I would have no hesitation in recommending OBS Group as a provider of online design and development services."

Technical Information - Design
We use a number of different applications and technologies to bring design concepts to life. The most appropriate application and technology is chosen according to the requirements and output necessary for a particular project.
Incorrectly created graphical elements can be detrimental to the performance of the application and impair the overall experience for the user.
OBS Group uses the following applications and technologies:
Pen and Paper
The best concepts are often designed on the backs of envelopes and beer mats. The first stages of concept development can be most fruitful if the distractions of software and electronic tools are avoided.
Adobe Fireworks
Fireworks is an image creation and manipulation package that provides good support for both vector and bitmap images. Fireworks is excellent for producing both visuals and finished artwork for electronic media, although it would not be the application of choice for producing printed material.
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator is a vector and bitmap design tool which provides better drawing tools and vector manipulation than Photoshop.
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is the longest-established image editing tool for print, multimedia and the web. Photoshop provides a huge array of controls for manipulating and retouching photographic images, as well as painting and drawing tools.
Adobe Flash
Adobe Flash is an authoring tool which is mostly used to produce animation and interactive elements of a small file size for use on the web. Flash will import audio, video and bitmap or vector graphics to produce high-impact and engaging content for website applications.
Adobe Director
Adobe Director is the industry-standard multimedia authoring tool. Whilst Director is predominantly used for CD-ROM content authoring, the Shockwave plug-in also allows Director-authored content to be viewed over the web. Director is used to integrate audio, video and graphics into fully interactive multi-media productions.
