Tip #25
The Yale Style Manual site
If you are just beginning to work with websites, you may not have a lot of experience creating and using graphic images. The Yale Style Manual website is a good resource to help you understand web graphics, the different types of images used on a web, and other issues dealing with graphics and site design.
This is an example of one
section that talks about screen versus printed color artwork..
If you have wondered about terms like interfaced GIF, transparent GIF, compression, 8-bit, or 24-bit, this is a good site to start learning about graphics and web layout.
If you go to the main page for the entire Yale site at www.webstyleguide.com/index.html, you can find other information, such as site structure and page design. There is a reference on the main page to a printed paperback that can also be purchased through Amazon.
