Now that you have a good idea as to how the finished web site will look, it's time to start generating/finding graphics and images. Usually the client will provide you with some (or most) of the imagery you will require. In our case, I have given you the client's logo and a number a photos taken at the client's actual facility. But depending on your visual solution, you will probably need to modify some of these images and perhps find or create entirely new ones as well.
Of course, in mocking-up your site you should have already begun this process. You may, for example have created a banner that incorporates the company logo, name and maybe even one or more of the provided photos. Perhaps you have mocked-up a footer, or a background. Perhaps you have created custom buttons/tabs/navigation as part of your mock-up. These are all examples of the kinds of graphics you might need or wish to use. And here's the cool part—if your mock-up is finished and represents how you want the page to actually look, all you need to do is slice it up and save the various image areas as separate jpeg, gifs, and/or pngs—ready to be dropped into your page at the appropriate spot.
That being said, you may want/need additional images. Not every page will contain the same images within the main content for example; you must determine what kinds of images (illustrations, charts, graphs, color photos, B & W photos, etc.), and then more specifically, what images you want on all of the various pages. Collect these together and convert each to the appropriate size and file type.
Due: Beginning of class, week 5 (this is an ongoing process; it's okay if you don't have ALL of your graphics collected/made by next week).
