Most good photographs should be around 10-12KB per image. Whether you are using jpgs, pngs or eps files, you would like to make the files that you upload to your website as little as possible . Large images are the reason that pages load slowly. Use the sorts of graphics that fit the content. As an example, if you're putting up a website that is all about ferrets, you do not want to put a picture of a dog on your internet site. The picture could be awfully cute, and you can like it a lot, but consider it from the reader's point of view. They are visiting your internet site because they need to learn about ferrets. When using photographs, try and use compressed files : tiffs and JPGs work best . Avoid using pictures that move, blink, flash or revolve. Studies have shown that these sorts of images only annoy and distract surfers which isn't what it is all about. What they can wind up doing is cover up the flashing, blinking annoyance to read the copy, or worst still, they'll simply leave. Use vector graphics instead of raster graphics. Vector pictures are outlined by , not pixels. They can be scaled down or up without any loss of quality. Programs like Illustrator make vector pictures, and Photoshop makes raster images. There are two reasons why you want to use vector graphics - they're much smaller in comparison to their raster opposite number, and if you blow it up, it will not pixelate. This is good for Web 2.0 graphics and things like buttons or navigation aids on your website. Vector formats include EPS ( encapsulated 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 images, so you want to make them as small as possible . The usual raster image formats include BMP ( Windows Bitmap ), PCX ( Paintbrush ), JPEG ( Joint Photographics Expert Group ), quarrel ( Tag Interleave Format ), PNG ( Portable Network Graphic ), GIF ( Graphics Interchange Format ), CPT ( Corel PhotoPAINT ) and PSD ( Adobe PhotoShop ). When it comes to using photographs on your page, you will want to wrap text around it. Generally photograph and graphics should add to the overall layout and not take it over or overmaster the look and feel of what is presented to the reader. The content is of first importance with the graphics adding to the readability and understanding of what is being presented.
