B. Choosing the correct image
A few points to consider when choosing images for your website:
- A strong image can catch the eye of a visitor to your website, but may also distract them from important content elsewhere on the page. Consider if you want the image to be the focal point of the page.
- Use high-resolution images (scaled down as needed) that clearly depict scenes appropriate to the page/site content. The viewer should not be confused by any image.
- Beware of the following: bad lighting, bad cropping and unfortunate background objects/scenery.
- Ensure that the images you choose can not easily be dated, or be prepared to update them regularly.
C. Image editing
The best image-editing tool is Adobe Photoshop. Some essential Photoshop skills are described in a tutorial on Reply All, the Loyola Web Team blog.
If you do not have the means to edit your own images, please submit a web request so the Office of Web Communications can assist you.
D. File Naming
Appropriate naming of images and other files is discussed on our SEO page.
