Image/Resolution Sizes

Post by chris »

Hi, I looked through the forum and wiki/online documentation.
The old set of guidelines is no longer accessible.

What are the suggested best practices for image size/resolutions today?
Is it best to make a few sizes? On e for widescreen ratio and one for the older 4/3 ratio?
Many of my images have text so this affects readability.

Thanks for any advice.

According to the latest statistics, the most popular resolution is 1366x768 (according to our internal statistics, from Windows computers 30% use 1366x768, 15% use 1920x1080, 13% use 1024x768, 8% use 1280x1024).
Whether or not you need 2 versions for different aspect ratios you can try to judge by the statistics: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp or http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php
Maybe the way to go is to make screensavers that look good in any resolution (.i.e. less emphasis on text).
