	The majority of graphics on the web support GIFs because they are compact. GIF compression is typically 8-bit. The small bit rate causes the file compression format to only support 256 colors, instead of millions of colors like JPEG.		The majority of graphics on the web support GIFs because they are compact.

	GIF images consists of a set images that are displayed in a set order. ~~They~~ tend to be animated images that loop endlessly. GIFs lose compression to keep the file size at a minimum. This form of compression prevents a loss in photo quality. GIFs can be seen throughout the web, but are commonly seen on Internet forums and media coverage blogs--creating comic relief. Make sure that the GIF being used is professional and connects with what the site's central theme or message.		GIF images consists of a set images that are displayed in a set order.

It is important for college students to remember that image is everything. How a person presents themselves is what will be remembered in most cases. The same ideal applies to photos for digital media because a good photo can engage and impact what the writer is trying to convey, thus becoming a deciding factor on how the information is received.

	Photos are visual images from photographic film or digital images. These images are usually taken by a camera, and can be used to inform and direct the audience. When writing for the web, photos play a key part to attract readers. Photos heighten the audience's attention, thus making the information more credible and professional. It allows web users to better understand a particular concept, thus making photos clear, interesting, and memorable.		Photos are visual images from photographic film or digital images.
