Meet James Working with Graphics James now already running his online shop open. Some customers already buy t-shirt from his shop. But sometimes he receive complain from customer saying that what they get is not the same as it displayed on the web page. James realized that some pictures are too small so customer cannot see the detail. Some pictures are too dark because he took the pictures under low light environment.
Why graphics important? You can see, but you cannot touch and feel. Consumer expectation of the purchased product.
