Welcome to a virtual seminar on Web Graphics - Getting the Most Out
of Your Images On the World Wide Web.
As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. It's cliche but can
be very true because we are visual creatures by nature. Images communicate
information that would be impossible or too difficult to communicate in words.
This is all the more reason to include high quality images in your web pages if
you truly have something you would like to communicate to your audience. Of
course much of this communication takes place on a non-verbal level as emotions,
mood, or feeling. Arguably text is not the main communicator - it's actually the
images and sound (what the salespeople call MULTIMEDIA). After all, the web IS
imagery or else we would all still be using gopher. In the following
"cyber-space" we'll be talking about how to get the most from your images or
pictures on the World Wide Web - in other words how to get the most bang for your
buck!
What you see to the left is an outline of the topics to be covered. You're welcome to
browse at your leisure or to follow the seminar in a step by
step fashion. To do the latter, just click the START button below. At the end of every page
you will see several buttons. The [Next Topic] button will take you to the next
topic in order without having to re-visit the page you are now on. The button
called [Terminology] at the end of each page will take you to a page describing
some possibly unfamiliar words - a glossary of sorts. To get back to the page
you're on now at any time, press the [Start Over] button.
Please make a point to check back often. I will be updating this page as new information arises and you can always see if the page has been updated by looking at the Last Update located under the seminar topics to the left of the text you are now reading. Enjoy!
