Introduction to Graphics Files

 

Overview

Graphic files are those that display graphics or pictures. You will need the right tool(s) to create them. In Microsoft Windows and Apple, one of the most popular applications to create or manipulate pictures is Adobe Photoshop. There are other applications such as Corel PaintShop Pro, etc.

Corel PaintShop Pro is cheaper than Adobe Photoshop and we can do anything that is necessary for webpage/graphics design. The cheapest solution in Microsoft Windows is Windows Paint or simply Paint. It is installed along with the operating system. Windows Paint is very limited and should serve only as a temporary solution.

Different applications are typically used in web design because it is not unusual that a certain feature is missing in one application that happens to have other good features missing from other applications. For example, because we don't know what applications you have, in this lesson, we are going to use Microsoft Office to partially work with graphics, transferred them to Windows Paint and PaintShop Pro to get the results we want.

Introduction to HTML and Graphics Files

 

Overview

Graphic files are used to embellish a webpage. Some HTML elements directly support pictures. In reality, you can use graphics anywhere on a webpage. You just need to be creative (CSS has better support for graphics and pictures; in fact, it is recommended that you use CSS most of the time). Two of the HTML elements that support graphics are the body and the table (and its child elements).

Most of the HTML elements that support pictures have an attribute named background. The value of this attribute is the path to a picture, including its extension.

Practical Learning: Introducing Graphics in a Webpage

Here are the pictures we will useé If you want to use them, right-click each and follow the options on the screen to save them. Save the pictures in the images folder of your website:

    <h3>Personal Loans</h3>
    
    <p>Our core business is based on personal loans. The simple steps to apply for a loan are:</p>
    
    <ol>
      <li>Contact us by calling our number or coming to one of our offices. We are 
    conveniently located near you</li>
      <li>Fill out a short and easy-to-follow application. Of course, our employees are 
    at your service to assist you</li>
      <li>Wait for one of our loan officers to contact you. Most applications are 
    processed the same day and the decision is time because we are very sensitive with 
    urgent situations</li>
      <li>Once a decision is made, if the loan is approved, you will sign a few documents 
    for the loan payment and then you will receive a check either in the exact amount 
    you requested or the amount we thought is more suitable</li>
    </ol>
    
    <h3>Purchases</h3>
    
    <p>As opposed to applying for a loan directly through us, you may want to 
    purchase an item (such as a musial instrument, a boat, a car, a motorcycle, a 
    lawnmower, anything). 
    <b>Watts A Loan</b> has a partnership with many local and domestic companies that sell 
    cars or various types of machines and all types of devices. The steps to apply for a 
    purchase are:</p>
    
    <ol>
      <li>Contact the seller or just go to their company</li>
      <li>Select the desired item to choose and get the price</li>
      <li>Fill out the application. All those companies have their appropriate loan/purchase 
    application</li>
      <li>Wait for an answer. Most applications are processed in a matter of minutes and a 
    decision is made right away
        <ul>
          <li>If the loan is approved, you will sign a document for the loan payment and you 
    will receive the machine or object you applied for</li>
          <li>If something did not work as expected, you will receive a response and possibly 
    an explanation</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ol>
    
    <h3>Business Loans</h3>
    
    <p>We make it convenient to apply for the right loan that will help your business meet 
    a timely requirement or purchase that valuable machine. We have various types of 
    packages or we can customize one for your particular needs. We support:</p>
    
    <dl>
      <dt>Budget Constraint Needs: We can help you to fill that sudden gap in your budget. We meet issues related to:</dt>
        <dd>Cash Flow: A whole in your cashier box is not a negative sign for us and we 
    will deal with it</dd>
        <dd>Deficit: Whether caused by slowness based on seasonal work or a decrease in your 
    sales, a deficit should not slow you down. We will make the necessary payments</dd>
        <dd>Unaccountable Business Partners: Business partners may let you down. We won't</dd>
      <dt>Payroll: We have the right amount to achieve your payroll at the last minute. We 
    are quiet familiar with:</dt>
        <dd>Employees Concerns</dd>
        <dd>IRS Deadlines</dd>
    </dl>
    
    <p>We will analyze your situation and come up with the right package for you. Just contact 
    us today. We can even come to your office or to meet with you anywhere.</p>
    
    <p>Good luck and count on <b>Watts A Loan</b> to meet your financial needs</p>

The Icon in the Address Bar

If you want the browser to show an icon in the address bar when your website is accessed, create an icon graphics file:

  • The file must be a graphic of type icon
  • It must be named favicon
  • It must have the .ico extension
  • It must have a size of 16x16
  • The file must be installed at the root (public_html or wattsaloan) of your website

The probably question is, what application do you use to create the icon? I don't know. I personnally use Microsoft Visual Studio where I start by creating an MFC application. I cannot encourage you to install the whole Microsoft Visual Studio (it is freely available from the Microsoft website) just to design a simple icon (it is not realistic to me).
