Graphics and images are an important part of a visual medium such as web pages. They help to contribute to branding and create a unified look and feel to pages. Besides being visually attractive, images can help the user to more quickly process the information displayed on a page.
For example, an image of a book next to a title tells the user they have retrieved a record for a book, and not a CD or DVD.
Here are some tips to remember when working with graphics:
- Graphics are stored in the screens directory with html pages.
- Graphics can be easily replaced.
- Naming is important for some images, especially those used to represent material-types (i.e. media_book.gif).
- Use clear, unambiguous images to represent material types.
- Keep images small in file size to help pages load quickly.
