Sandy’s Great Graphic Tips: Why Use Graphics?
Posted by Ralf Yoffe | Under Company Profiles, Earnings, General Wednesday Mar 26, 2008What Does Learning Style Have To Do With Graphics?
We each have a different learning style. The three basic styles are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (VAK). Approximately 60-70% (depending on the source) of the general population are predominantly visual learners. They need visual aids to fully grasp a concept or idea.
Graphics are a huge reason people flock to the web. Humans are generally more receptive to things we see compared to things we hear. That means a well-placed graphic on your post can make a world of difference to their experience.

Posted by Ralf Yoffe | Under Options Thursday Jan 24, 2008What Happened to that Picture?
Sometimes you see photos on websites that look funny - too wide or narrow, tall or short. In other words, out of proportion. Some other terms used are scale, perspective and aspect ratio. One common way to re-size a graphic is using a WYSIWYG editor. WYSIWYG is pronounced wiz-e-wig and is short for what you see is what you get.
Hover over the corner of a graphic, click and drag. Depending on the program, it’s possible to lose perspective, so keep this little tip in mind.
