Cloud Computing…A Hot
Topic
Cloud computing has become a hot topic in the business
world, and any company or consultant who wants to gain exposure for their cloud
computing products and/or services will need visually compelling content
whether that content is for a magazine ad, social media post, or website. A review of the pros and cons for cloud
computing is a great way to introduce the benefits of online computing and the
particular positives (and negatives) of individual products and services that
relate to online computing, networks, and Internet enterprises.
Pros And Cons
It was with the above in mind that I decided to create a
simple a graphic image that would be an obvious “cloud computing” image and, in
this case, also an obvious “pro” and “con” image. The undertaking was actually pretty simple, though a bit
painstaking. The “painstaking” part was creating a single cloud that would
represent cloud computing. I used several shots of clouds stripping out cloud
parts and assembling them in Photoshop. After that it was easy enough to past
the cloud onto a black background. I then selected half of the image and
inversed it. Presto…a cloud computing “positives” and “negatives” stock photo.
Yin, Yang And Balance
As an added plus the image also brings to mind the idea of
Yin and Yang and balance. I also believe that people who view the image will have
that Ying/Yang idea pop into their minds and thereby have a subliminal and
positive force working on them.
Unlimited Cropping
And Copy Space
The image, by being on a simple white/black background
offers unlimited cropping options and ample copy space. Copy and headlines can
be reversed out of the black, or printed black on the white areas. I think it would be fun to see a
headline that stretches across the top, reversed out of the black AND printed
in black over the white.
Because I think the image can be used often and by many, I uploaded
it to the stock agency (Getty Images in this case), as a Royalty Free (for
those of you not familiar with the term…that does NOT mean free) image.
