Most good images should be around 10-12KB per image. Whether you are using jpgs, pngs or eps files, you want to make the files that you upload to your internet site as tiny as practical. Large photographs are the fact that pages load slowly. Use the sorts of graphics that fit the content. As an example, if you're putting up a domain that's all about ferrets, you do not need to put a picture of a dog on your internet site. The picture may be awfully cute, and you may like it a lot, but consider it from the reader's point of view. They are visiting your site because they need to learn about ferrets. When using photos, try and use compressed files : tiffs and JPGs are the best. Avoid using photographs that move, blink, flash or revolve. Studies have shown that these types of pictures only provoke and distract internet 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 rather than raster graphics. Vector images are defined by maths, not pixels. They can be scaled down or up without any loss of quality. Programs like Illustrator make vector images, and Photoshop makes raster pictures. There are two reasons why you want to use vector graphics - they are far smaller in comparison to their raster opposite number, 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 website. Vector formats include EPS ( encapsulated sequel ), 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 leads to a very small graphic file. Photos are usually raster photographs, so you would like to make them as small as practicable. The usual raster image formats include BMP ( Windows Bitmap ), PCX ( Paintbrush ), JPEG ( Joint Photographics Expert Group ), row ( Tag Interleave Format ), PNG ( conveyable 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. Sometimes photos 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 primary importance with the graphics adding to the readability and experience of what is being presented.
