I’m working on the beginnings of a few websites for some organizations I am affiliated with, and I had this thought: I know the traditional view is that screens project at 72/96ppi, but I know this is not the case as a computer screen goes by the actual pixels and not dpi/ppi (a 357px by 423px image will display that many pixels regardless of monitor resolution…it will just look “bigger” or “smaller” depending on the resolution). So my question is, as I’m designing my site(s), does it really matter what resolution I design at? 300 so I can see more detail? Any clarification will certainly help! Thanks in advance!
After looking at some of the results without containment, I chose to put my website pages in a 720 pixel wide table and generally show images at 360 wide although I provide larger pictures in some cases with linked frames (I generally show the bigger picture in the small outline rather than have a separate thumbnail, etc.) When I want an effect, I may use smaller pictures several wide or build my own montage in a photo editing program. I use full width pictures (720) when it seems useful. http://www.mikegigi.com/firthg/2010clchs…
