Understanding these three elements is the first step to producing pages of your own. Any photo, drawing, graph, or chart is called a graphic.
Graphics liven up a page and make it more attractive.
But because each graphic you use adds to the slowness of the downloading page, you must have a definite purpose for each graphic you use. Graphics can attract an audience. For example, graphics can be used to draw a reader into a page. That is why you see a large photo in the center of most newspapers. The photo brings the reader into the page so he or she will want to read the newspaper.
