Most good pictures should be around 10-12KB per image. Whether or not you are using jpgs, pngs or eps files, you need to make the files that you upload to your internet site as tiny as possible . Large pictures are the reason that pages load slowly. Use the sorts of graphics that fit the content. For instance, if you're putting up an internet site that is all about ferrets, you do not want to put an image of a dog on your internet site. The picture might be very cute, and you can like it a lot, but think about it from the reader's viewpoint. They're visiting your site because they want to find out about ferrets. When using photos, try and use compressed files : tiffs and JPGs are best. Avoid using pictures that move, blink, flash or rotate. Research has proven that these types of images only provoke and distract internet surfers which is not what it is all about. What they will wind up doing is cover up the flashing, blinking annoyance to read the copy, or worst still, they'll just leave. Use vector graphics rather than raster graphics. Vector pictures are defined by maths, not pixels. They can be scaled down or up without any loss of quality. Programs like Illustrator make vector pictures, and Photoshop makes raster pictures. There are 2 reasons why you wish 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 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 very small graphic file. Pictures are typically raster images, so you want to make them as tiny as possible . The common raster image formats include BMP ( Windows Bitmap ), PCX ( Paintbrush ), JPEG ( Joint Photographics Expert Group ), tiff ( Tag Interleave Format ), PNG ( portable Network Graphic ), GIF ( Graphics Interchange Format ), CPT ( Corel PhotoPAINT ) and PSD ( Adobe PhotoShop ). When it comes to the use of images on your page, you will want to wrap text around it. Sometimes photograph and graphics should add to the layout and not take it over or overwhelm the feel and look of what is presented to the reader. The content is of first significance with the graphics adding to the readability and understanding of what is being presented. ![]()
