Micro Web Pics
 Microstock images for the web can be user defined as long as the delivery of the website composition in files. These files get uploaded into a specific architecture of files called a theme. The way the images combine visually is called a skin. Making skins and loading distributable themes can be a profitable online business and a way to establish a legitimate online career.
The terms themes and skins can be used interchangeably. Some websites have the option of the user side member being able to change the look of the site from a set of user-side choices. The choices consist of arrangements of tiny bitmap images and banners and logos and stripes and containers colored with bitmap tones. Pictures with all the colors of a certain theme can draw every color of the skin together.
The choices belong to the designer. They can be color based or image based. Compiling a theme building technique can be useful when color combinations and color wheels come into use. Designing one color combination for a theme with contrasts and complimentary color usage can be repeated by simply substituting tones. At some point, substituting one of the bars or blocks of color with an image turns a generic theme into a industry or topic specific theme.
These colors and ideas can be concept related as loosely or as tightly as the theme designer wishes. The individual organizing the files together is the theme designer, the person installing and uploading them to the website is the webmaster. Creative control of a theme or skin stays with the designer and can be sold by itself and delivered electronically.
The first rule of Website image composition is : it can always go smaller. Don’t worry about how small the picture may have to get because the eye of any website viewer will be screwed in tight to an area about four inches by eight inches. That one glance is everything you need to rope in the modern Internet browser.
The second rule of Website composition is: Clarity. make sure the very best resolution possible can be presented at the website and inside the image, banner, or page feature. An image file huge on the screen on the desktop really only merits a few square inches at best in a theme.
The third rule of Website image composition is: be original. Don’t copy or crib from another designer. There is so much originality possible in website design no person needs to do this. Finding your own design voice and launching a new online career deserves every best instinct you have. Work from your ideas and inspiration and be proud of your own work.
