A quick prototype for a web-based poster-design-application, proofing that graphic-design-tools can definitely be built with web-technologies. Developing web-based design-tools has many advantages:

  • They are accessible to anyone on any device
  • They restrict the user to stay in a predefined visual system
  • More or less “beautiful” output is ensured
  • Can be used for social-media-campaigns
  • “User-generated content” for brand-communication
  • They can be deployed as real desktop- and/or mobile-apps
  • High-resolution output
