Image considerations

Task Box Images

• Should be around 25kb or less
• Look best when they conform to these parameters:

Aspect Ratio	4 x 3	16 x 9

• There is more information regarding task boxes in the task box article and video.  

Other Images

As the saying goes "An image is worth 1000 words." be sure that your images earn their way on to the page by that standard. An image is only warranted if it adds value to the page and clarifies the point, process or subject matter of the page.  Keep in mind that images use up data when loaded on a page.  Much of the traffic to Oregon.gov sites is now originated from mobile devices and not everyone has fast internet in their region or has an unlimited data plan.  Many images or images that are too large can degrade performance for users with slower internet speeds and gobble up data for users on limited data plans.  Keep your images to a minimum, sized appropriately and purposeful to the page.
