It is always a good idea to consider the actual point in using graphics in our website designs. Why am I using this graphic? What purpose does this graphic serve? How does this graphic serve the visitor? Where is an appropriate place for this or that graphic? Those are some questions we really need to be asking ourselves when we design our website. People want content! That means people do not want to be distracted by long page loads, nonsense graphics, and/or distracting graphics. It’s easy to smack a bunch of graphics in a page, but why are you using the graphic? What purpose does it serve? Does the graphic even serve the visitor? Sometimes less is more. As the upcoming designer, you’ll have to decide though.

If your graphics do not fit in with the message of the content on your site and/or they are not doing any job at enhancing the users interface, then it’s a good idea not to use the graphic. Cool colors and flashy graphics can be, well, cool, but if they are not serving the purpose or idea of your site then they should not be used. A computer mouse these days generally has a browser back button on it. Have you ever visited a website that does not engage you and you quickly press the back button? It’s easy to do. If the flashy graphics do not engage your visitors, then do not use them. People are not generally looking for “cool” unless “cool” is the actual message of the site. Consider graphics that enhance the message of your site and the interface of your site. |
