Then let's start prettifying that Web site of yours with some pictures. There's a lot of ground to cover, so we're splitting this lesson into two parts. Today, we'll be focusing on how to actually create an image and make sure it's ready for the Web. The Internet was all about plain text until the Web came along and, being the show-off that it is, started adding images to everything. Now just about every Web page out there has at least a few pictures to liven things up.
Some sites are entirely graphics-based.
Learning how to make images and optimize them for the Web is an important skill for any homepage builder to master. Lucky for you, it's really not all that tricky once you've been through the process a couple of times. Before you start worrying about color palettes and file formats, you need to create an image. The best thing to do is make it yourself. That way, you won't have to worry about infringing on someone else's copyright.
