Design Considerations
• Image balance• Image Size• Color• Compression.
When designing images consider the following:
![Page 15: Presented by the Virginia 4-H Science and Technology Committee](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813f92550346895daa82e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CompositionComposition
• No one likes to look at a lot of empty space. • So try to crop your image the best you can. • And watch out for distracting objects in your
picture. • Someone may think the wrong object in your
picture is the main attraction!
![Page 16: Presented by the Virginia 4-H Science and Technology Committee](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813f92550346895daa82e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Be careful of how bright or dark your picture is. If the picture is too bright or too dark,
then the harder it is too see.

When you are making graphics, you have to be careful about your image size.
Image SizeImage Size
The larger the picture, then the moretime it takes to load.
Don't make your graphics too BIG!
![Page 20: Presented by the Virginia 4-H Science and Technology Committee](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813f92550346895daa82e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
But if you make it too small, then no one will be able to enjoy it!
