Design Slicer is an Open Source project for graphical usage. It's a free graphic software for web designers and can be used to customize images. The advantage of Design Slicer in comparison to the others more famous graphics software is that it keeps only the simplest functionality. In fact you can customize your images without the useless amount of information provided by the leading image manipulation softwares.
The goal of this project was to develop software for web designers. The graphic designers make a template of the website in the form of a picture without separation for the elements of the webpage like “menu bar”, article, button…
Our software lets the user cut the different elements of the picture and make separate images in order to place them on the final page for convenient browsing. The software will help the user to choose what format will be best to use and find the best way to compress the images to get the best loading time for quality rate possible.
Our software is an “Open Source” project so other developers could contribute to the project and develop other tools in the future, once the first build has been completed and documented. The final goal is to give the user fully functioning and documented software for an easy to use experience and to launch the open source project.
