Creating an eye-catching banner image is essential for any website. It's important to consider the contrast, color scheme, resolution, and environment when selecting a background for your banner. Color is critical to conveying the right message, and studies have found that people form an opinion about people and products in 90 seconds, with up to 90 percent of that opinion based solely on colors. Vector files are best for graphics, while photographs should be saved as a non-compressed file at an output resolution of between 100 and 200 dots per inch (DPI).
Taking your own photos can be a great way to make your banner unique and authentic. When designing a banner, keep in mind that only the central part of the image will be displayed on mobile phones, so make sure it works well as a header image. If you're using different header images for each page, make sure they have the same style, look, and colors. Additionally, banners on other websites are usually slightly lower than the home page.
If you're having trouble making your text big enough without running out of space in the banner, consider increasing the size of the header instead. When selecting a background for your banner, contrast is key. You want your products to stand out enough for the viewer to see them clearly at a glance or capture their attention with beautiful images before they move on to the next section of the page. Choosing a color scheme that helps your banner stand out is also important. Make sure to save graphics as vector files and photographs as non-compressed files at an output resolution of between 100 and 200 DPI with the full size of the image. When designing a new website, it's important to consider the environment in which it will be seen.
You don't want to design a banner with what appears to be a striking combination of red and orange colors only to discover that it hangs on the facade of a red brick building where it gets lost in similar colors. Keep your banner simplistic in its design so that every part of it helps you achieve your purpose. Additionally, consider from what distance your banner will be seen and make sure any text is easily readable from that distance.
