Graphic Design, Illustration
& Photography
Your graphic design is the first thing your visitors
will notice on your website. They need to be appealing
and intriguing enough to persuade your visitor to
stay.
Graphic design includes your logos, colors and fonts
as well as photos, illustrations, animations and any
other graphic design elements. These all need to work
together to give a comprehensive professional feel
to your project.
Graphics aren't just decorations. Text and
images need to work together to appeal to your visitors
and present information. Quality graphic design is
essential. Illustration and photography, colors, fonts,
banners and other design elements work together to
communicate a professional legitimate business.
All of these need to be optimized to load quickly.
Your visitors do not want to wait for bloated graphics
or artsy pictures. Your graphic design should not
be confusing. Photos and illustrations should have
something to do with your website. Your visitors should
be able to tell immediately what your site is about.
For example, if your site has nothing to do with babies,
there is no reason to put a photo of a baby on the
home page. It should be clear where to click. If it
is a button, it should look click-able.
Illustration & Photography
When creating your web site, the art, the
look and feel, is often planned before anything else.
The art you decide on helps determine the rest of
your site. If you are developing your site "art
first," you select from existing imagery,
photos and illustration and build your site around
it. Or you can imagine a picture and arrange to
have it photographed or drawn.
Illustration
Sometimes an illustration is better than a photograph.
It communicates an individual style. Illustrations
can work together to give your site consistency. Illustration
can be sketches or detailed drawings. They can be
either hand drawn or computer generated...>
