USING THE RIGHT IMAGE FOR YOUR WEB
DESIGN: Free Web Design Course | part 4
A crucial part of website success is selecting the right images and visuals. In this video, we'll
discuss how to choose the best image for your website. Firstly, you need to decide which
genre of image to use, whether it be photography, illustration or other styles.
Once you've chosen your genre, the next step is selecting the right image within that genre.
Then, you need to use it appropriately in terms of layout and composition with your text.
Illustration is a broad genre with many sub-genres, which allows for more abstraction.
Illustration and 3D are similar in that you can tell abstract stories, but 3D combines
real-world rendering to make objects look like they could have been taken from real life.
There are various skills involved in photography, illustration, or 3D rendering. I encourage
the full stack designer approach, where you learn as many skills as possible to add value.
Building visual skills can be incredibly useful if you have the time and willingness to do so.
