Images - a bit about them - would you like to send us yours ???
Email images to admin@visitbroseley.co.uk
Images that appear on top-bars are there to "catch eyes"., rather than to display photographs in "good gallery" fashion. They aim to give visual 'life' to the page. You could say, then, that "the website drives the images - the images do not drive the website".
We may need to crop images. It's important for photographers to know this, as they might end up looking a bit different to the way they started out.
Header areas - at the top of pages
The letterbox layout, and way the title lies within it try to get the best balance between catching people's eyes, portraying something that's relevant to Broseley (or nearby) and the page's topic - and looking good in terms of colour, content, and composition.
We can place different images on each page, so we can choose images that tie in with the page's overall content. We generally have several images that scroll right to left - and we can even use an image on more than one page.
We're always open to the idea of having new images to display.
Header images should be at 72 dpi, with a width of 900 pixels - height of around 210 pixels.
Here is the image from which the top bar on this page was extracted - it shows what we can do by way of 'manipulation' - it's just a demonstration.
Send us yours !
If you come up with an idea for any of the page-headers, just email your image to us, and we'll try to fit it in
(but please do say which page you have in mind.)
Pages with themes and information - that's most of them
They present information about the battery of opportunities within the town. Food and drink, places to stay, sports and socials, places to worship .... and so on. The images don't lead directly to other pages when they are clicked, but expand in size.
These images need to be relevant to the place or the activity that they're associated with. For places, we prefer images that show the outside, since nobody who's visiting the website will be able to recognise an inside-shot until they go inside - a nice shot of the exterior could enhance the view that there are things to see during their rambles around the town.
We prefer to use images as-supplied, to avoid cropping or resizing. Composition, content, and colour are therefore important. The image does not have to look wonderful at thumbnail size, but needs to convey the place, or activity, or whatever when it's clicked and expanded to full size.
Images need to be at 72 dpi, with a width of 640 pixels, and a height of 480 pixels.
