Build your Flash Website
Build your Flash Website at the March Online Seminar by Ycademy and get prepared for a smashing wow effect. In a small series of posts I will provide information about the content needed at the Seminar.
Background Images
To build a great looking flash site, we need great images, namely for the backgrounds. Every tab in the menu can trigger its own background for the target page. The choice of pictures will depend on the theme of the site; your imagination is the limit.
The background acts like the setting or the stage for your content. It could be nature, places, spaces, most anything.
Some examples:
Meet me at the beach
Meet me in front of the church
Meet me at the Ouzo Place
Background Dimensions
Semiomantics Evolution will give the best surfing experience in full-screen view. The background image will therefore follow the size of the screen and its resolution and we need to load rather large pictures.
The above images come straight out of the digital camera or mobile phone. The raw file is over 3000 pixels wide. I have reduced them to about 1700 pixels wide and decreased the output quality to end up with background images of about 1700 x 1275 pixels and a weight of below 100 kb.
The above backgrounds can be seen at the Evolution Site HERE.
How to format background images as per above?
We will show step by step how to deal with a large image in order to format it for the purpose of the Evolution site at tonight’s call at yorGOtalk.
See you there.
