Get Your Graphics in Order
Whether or not you are using jpgs, pngs or eps files, you want to make the files that you upload to your website as small as practical.When it comes to graphics and website design, you are going to need to think small. Most good photographs should be around 10-12KB per image. Whether you are using jpgs, pngs or eps files, you need to make the files that you upload to your internet site as little as practical. Giant photographs are the reason that pages load slowly.
Use the sorts of graphics that fit the content. For example, if you are putting up a domain that's all about ferrets, you don't want to put a picture of a dog on your website. The picture might be awfully cute, and you may like it a lot, but mull it over from the reader's standpoint. They're visiting your site because they need to learn about ferrets.
When using photos, try and use compressed files : tiffs and JPGs are best. Avoid using images that move, blink, flash or rotate. Research has proven that these types of photographs only provoke and distract surfers which isn't what it is all about. What they can wind up doing is cover up the flashing, blinking irritation to read the copy, or worst still, they'll just leave.
Use vector graphics instead of raster graphics. Vector images are outlined by mathematics, not pixels. They can be scaled up or down without any loss of quality. Programs like Illustrator make vector images, and Photoshop makes raster photographs. There are two reasons why you wish to use vector graphics - they are much smaller than their raster counterpart, and if you blow it up, it won't pixelate. This is good for Web 2.0 graphics and stuff like buttons or navigation aids on your internet site.
Vector formats include EPS ( encompassed postscript ), AI ( Adobe Illustrator ), WMF ( Windows Metafile ), DXF ( AutoCAD ), CDR ( CorelDraw ), PLT ( Hewlett Packard Graphics Language Plot File ) and SVG ( Scalable Vector Graphics ). Sizing down or up in Adobe Illustrator then saving the file as a JPEG makes for a tiny graphic file.
Photos are usually raster photographs, so you wish to make them as tiny as practicable. The common raster image formats include BMP ( Windows Bitmap ), PCX ( Paintbrush ), JPEG ( Joint Photographics Expert Group ), row ( Tag Interleave Format ), PNG ( Portable Network Graphic ), GIF ( Graphics Interchange Format ), CPT ( Corel PhotoPAINT ) and PSD ( Adobe PhotoShop ).
When it comes to using images on your page, you will want to wrap text around it. Usually photos and graphics should add to the overall layout and not take it over or overpower the feel and look of what is presented to the reader. The content is of primary importance with the graphics adding to the readability and knowledge of what is being presented.
