Web Design Tips for Graphics

Part of the Web Design For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Graphics are a huge part of Web design. Knowing and using the standards and formats for different types of Web graphics can mean the difference between a Web page that catches attention and one that browsers glance past. Use these tips to make sure your visual elements are visually arresting:

  • Build all Web graphics in 72 dpi, the standard display resolution of the Web.

  • Save graphics that have a mix of text, flat-colored graphics, and photos, such as the one shown here, as adaptive palette GIF files.

  • Save all purely photographic images as JPEG files.

  • Always display anti-aliased graphics on the correct background color; otherwise, you see an unsightly halo around them.
