QA - International – temporary page QA – Digital
Our vision is to set the pace in high-end digital imagery for professionals in the communications industry. Our imagery is unique and our goal is to combine it with an outstanding level of personalized service.
A Wealth of experience
QA DIGITAL was formed in 1999 as a business unit of QA International, the main division of Groupe Québec Amérique, Canada's principal privately owned French-language publishing house, founded in 1974.
QA DIGITAL takes full advantage of the experience of its parent company by setting the pace in today's industry. A close, expert look at our images reveals that they are based on the skilled use of state-of-the-art tools such as, primarily, Adobe Photoshop©, Adobe Illustrator©, MetaCreations Painter©, Brice and Poser and auto-des-sys form-Z. However, the cookbook does not make the chef and the software alone can't do the job. It is our illustrators who make the difference, all of whom combine an extensive artistic background and training with years of solid experience.
Unique Image Bank
The illustrations in The Visual Dictionary, The Visual Food Encyclopedia and many other QA International books were developed entirely in-house and are now available from the QA DIGITAL image bank, which offers a truly impressive scope and variety. From exotic animals to everyday household items to scientific and medical images, nowhere else will you find such a wide selection of digital imagery. QA DIGITAL illustrations have a multitude of uses, such as in books and other publications, advertising campaigns and corporate communications, as well as multimedia and online projects.
In order to protect the uniqueness of our images, we license them for specific needs and uses, the traditional way. And since all rights to the illustrations belong exclusively to QA DIGITAL, we are easy to work with: all copyright questions are clear.
At QA Digital, the licensing terms, as well as the pricing, depend on the usage you require. That way, you pay exactly for what you use, and you use exactly what you need! As a matter of fact, we will establish pricing and licensing terms after having determined with you what will best set you apart. Whether you choose an image from our Portfolio or opt for our Custom services, your satisfaction will always be our main concern. At QA Digital, versatility reigns supreme!
