What is the best way to create light-weight PNG images? Pretty much. The more B&W you have, the less color info you have (and thus the smaller your images will be). Of course, don't use B&W when it's not appropriate, but a lot of the time you can skip colors without there being a noticeable impact on the aesthetics. A good trick is to view your graphics in Black and White (on a Mac you can turn on gray scale in the accessibility options, not sure what you can do on Windows). |

What is the best way to create light-weight PNG images? A lot of textures can actually be done in black and white. I'm not sure what your specific graphics are, but take a look at this screenshot from Halo 3 (toktak247.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/halo3_1.jpg) The walls that surround the game map, the single largest repeating element (except maybe the sky) is black and white. |

What is the best way to create light-weight PNG images? For instance, in Photoshop, simply click Image - Adjustments - Black and White. A screenshot of my desktop, saved as .png, goes from 318KB to 297KB - so 21KB just from color data alone. |

What is the best way to create light-weight PNG images? One thing you can do is to see how much of your graphics can be saved in gray-scale. A lot of the time that is possible and can save some space. |

What is the best way to create light-weight PNG images? Are you making mockups? Wire frames? Are you making graphics or trying to compress existing graphics for use in your own project? |

Any books or video tutorials on how to design graphic elements for an iOS app? Photoshop doesn't have anything to do with making an app (the app, not the graphics for the app). You need XCode. |

How do you build a webpage with a main text body and 2 columns underneath? Perfect! Thanks! That's way more simple than the way I was trying to do it. |

How do you build a webpage with a main text body and 2 columns underneath? That actually looks great, and is exactly what I was trying to do. I think I was over-thinking it and making it more complicated then it had to be. I've tried adding a spacer <div> but it just gets ignored by the browser. Here's the fiddle: jsfiddle.net/4vkca |

Adding visual interest to a website without cluttering it or making the visuals detract from the content I was afraid that might be the case. I would provide a link, but I'm unsure that I'm allowed to being as the site isn't live yet. A specific question I have is this: the body content is broken into columns using Javascript and CSS (because CSS3 columns aren't supported yet). I was wondering what sort of guidelines exist for multi-column text. Right now I have it such that the text draws the reader's eye to the right-side menu which is where context-specific menu items appear (there is a horizontal menu that is static with persistent items). |
