Eps 6: Images – Talking HTML
Talking HTML - Un pódcast de Tom Norman
Categorías:
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
