| Introduction |
If you've spent much time
exploring the Web, you've almost certainly
encountered some badly designed Web sites. Since
almost anyone can create Web pages, it's not
surprising that many sites are confusing,
overwhelming, ugly, or incredibly slo-o-o-ow.
Tantalizing content can be hidden forever from
the world when a site is poorly designed.

| What are
Your Options |
Once you've organized your
site and designed some pages, it's time to
produce the individual graphics that will go on
each page. The two main graphics formats that Web
browsers can read are GIF and JPEG. Each is
suitable for different types of images, so it's
important to know which one to choose. There are
also several GIFs and JPEGs that you can use to
create other effects, such as animation. Once you
understand the difference between GIF and JPEG
images, you'll want to determine the size and
color of the graphics you're putting on your Web
page. You'll also need to learn which type of
software you can use to make GIFs and JPEGs--and
what you need to know about these applications.
