How Graphical Images Enliven Web Pages

By: ereuben

Graphical images definitely help enliven your web pages, if they are used

properly. There are basically three types of graphic design images available

on the Internet these days. They are the GIF (Graphical Interchange Format),

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) and PNG (Portable Network Graphics).
The GIF graphical design images don't lose any detail when compressed or

decompressed and are thus perfect for hand-drawn art, icons, logos and

headlines. The JPEG graphic design images are more efficient than the GIFs

for compressing large images but may sometimes lose details when saved and

viewed. The PNG graphic design images are a compromise between the GIF and

JPEG formats. They are an excellent choice, but are not accepted by the

earlier browsers.
There are a few programs that are best used to create web graphical images

like Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks and Jasc Paint Shop Pro. Color

plays an important part in graphical presentations. It is always better to

use colors that go well together to produce better graphic art images.

Moreover, there are also certain colors that should be used in your graphical

designs when you want to signify certain moods or themes of the site. Like

for dignity, purple is better and for sites related to technology, silver is

the best choice.
When creating web pages with graphics, the file size of the graphical design

has to be taken into consideration. If the file is too big, it takes a longer

time to download, wherein the visitor to your site will just log off to go to

some other site! So prepare graphical designs that are reasonably sized- not

beyond 300 pixels in width or height. It is always better to avoid background

images while building a web page. This is because this slows the downloading,

and in most cases, makes the type difficult to read. It is better to have web

pages with graphics that are repeated over again as once a graphic is

downloaded, it is stored in the visitor's cache. So the next time the

graphical image is used, it loads faster. Moreover, repeating graphic design

image as logos, navigation buttons or through banners adds an element of

consistency in the site.
When creating a web page with graphical images, you can easily get free

graphical images from numerous websites on the Internet. All you have to do

is to visit the website, and you can choose some nifty animated graphical

images to liven your web pages and even a service to 'crunch' your websites'

graphical images to help them load faster.
