Images often account for most of the downloaded bytes on a webpage and also a significant amount of the visual space. As a result, optimizing images can often yield big performance improvements for your website—and make it look its best on any device. This course shows how to use Illustrator's intuitive toolset to save slim, smart graphics for the web. Staff author Justin Seeley shows how to master the Save for Web dialog box, choose the right image format for your projects, and optimize a variety of images, including JPEGs, PNGs, GIFs, and high-resolution images for Apple's HiDPI Retina displays. Plus, learn how to use Photoshop and the Smart Layer Export script to speed up your image optimization workflow.
