Sourcing For Good-Looking Graphics
Having cool graphic is as important as writing valuable content for your website. A website without nice graphics is like a TV show without color. It is boring and will not look very visually appealing.
To catch your visitors’ attention, one of the best ways is to have a good header graphic at the top of the page. It is an image consisting of three parts: a background, a title, and a sub-heading.
There are 3 main ways to get header graphics, depending on how much time and money you have available.
1. Hire a professional graphic designer
It may be a good option for big company that have a lot of money, but it is not so practical for small businesses or individuals who make webpages as a hobby. Sure, you might be able to hire a freelance graphic designer who will charge around $50 per image but even that is a lot of money for most people.
2. Purchase customizable set of pre-made graphics
When I design websites, I prefer to use ready-made graphics that can be bought on the internet. It is easy to find good image packages that cost a lot less than hiring a professional.
Such packages typically provide a number of different generic backgrounds and styles so you can pick one that fits the topic of your site. You can further edit the individual elements of the image, using program such as Adobe Photoshop or Paintbrush.
3. Create graphics yourself
If you have a little more time and want to make something truly original, then you can try to do it yourself. Making your own header graphics can take a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it. If you are good at it, you could even go into business for yourself as a freelance graphic designer or make your own graphics package to sell.
