Optimizing graphic Design
Later that days, we only knew several software program to create web graphic design. The most popular is Adobe photoshop or might be you using illustrator. These days, we had special program for optimizing, such as Fireworks, ImageReady, (usually bundled with Photoshop and the Adobe CS Suite). These two have certain optimization tools that will help you out.
Before we go more further, lets take a look the definition of optimization is. Optimization is a process or compression method of an image to produce smallest size of graphic output but kept the high quality inside.
Optimize graphic design is crucial, but the image quality shouldn’t be avoided. The whole compression process got one simple purpose which is the smaller the file size, the faster the image can be transmitted over the Internet and displayed on a
Web page. Even when the source file is already set to 72 ppi, the graphic must still be optimized and saved in an acceptable Web format.
As we had discuss above, there are lots of software program such as photoshop, illustrator, image ready, fireworks, etc. Those bunch of software have certain saving option which enable us to view which one is the best file compression. Lets take a look at fireworks, cause you already familiar with the other three software. Fireworks got quite similar tools with photoshop, illustrator, and image ready, the difference is it created and saved in PNG format.
Fireworks users can create graphics for JavaScript rollover buttons, pop-up menus, and other interactive features that Fireworks can generate with the optimized files. Output includes HTML, images only, or both. Even better, Fireworks integrates seamlessly with Adobe Dreamweaver for easy round-trip editing.
Which software program is the best, is up to you, which one you’re comfortable with. Always remember that more small the size more better.
