====== Maui Now > Article Image Guidelines ======

When adding an image to your article, here are a few pointers to ensure the image fits with the template.  Images can greatly affect the overall look of the site, so be thoughtful of the featured images you choose for your article.

===== Featured Images =====
  * The "perfect" image size is** 800 pixels (wide) by 533 pixels (tall)**.   72dpi RGB (Web Standard).  JPEG, GIF, or PNG.   
  * The ideal photo orientation is **landscape** (wide, rather than tall):  This ensures that the article lists and featured article slider display the entire image, rather than cutting it off.
  * Use **Logos as a LAST RESORT**: When using logos, they can appear distorted in the article list/featured article slider.
  * Large, but not too large:  Large images are ideal, but **going to large can slow down the site**, and deter readers.   If the image is larger than 1000 pixels wide or tall, it's probably too large.   If the image is larger than 600 kilobytes (kb), try sizing it down.
  * Text in Images: If you'd like to add text to an image, make sure it's towards the middle of the image, with at least 1 inch margin. (example below)
