Eps 6: Images – Talking HTML

Welcome to Talking HTML, an audio/video internet thing for web developers who are just starting out Today it’s all about images!   2 main types I’ll talk about is jpeg and png. Also SVG but that is reserved for a more in depth discussion   Images are one of the most important aspects of building and maintaining a website   Why use images? Makes site look good Visual representation of what website is about   Need to be cautious: Photos take up bandwidth   Big images can slow down site load time      Load time is arguably the most important adjective of user experience      If it takes to long to load people leave and go somewhere else   Jpeg Millions of colors Smaller file sizes No opacity blurry on zoom in   PNG Millions of colors Larger file size Supports opacity retains clarity when zoomed in   Not just photos!   Images can be used for backgrounds    From full scale image to 1px repeated pattern -ex TNPW Design portfolio page   Used for navigation buttons/ action buttons – though CSS now takes care of that unless button is specialized   Please go to iTunes and Stitcher and rate the show!
