The three examples above demonstrate the use of photography to produce quality graphics in this case "fig(s)"...gif(s) in reverse. Graphics are the fun part of web design and the culmination of hard work. Photography: three separate sky shoots, end of summer hollyhocks, mon lèvres, a cherry plucked from a martini glass, an avocado ripening on the window sill, objects all. Digital colour picking is crucial as well and, again, very much fun. What a difference a pixel makes! Figs are the ultimate in dynamic web graphics and extremely simple to create once a comfort level has been reached creating Photoshop documents. Flash is overrated, clogs the Web, crashes browsers, and should be sparsely used exclusively by geniuses.
