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!
