Web design graphics that grab your attention

Looking for web design graphics that do more than just sit there is one of more fun aspects of designing a web site. When you visit a web site, what is the thing that gets your attention first? Is it the graphics or the wallpaper? Okay, maybe it is the wallpaper because that is the first thing that you focus on as its loading, but after that it is definitely the graphics.

Websites that have stand alone graphics are always the coolest because it shows an interest in the designer to get your attention. Some graphics can be over done to the point of making no sense on the websites that they are applied to. Many people prefer to visit websites that have overt graphics that take your attention away from the wallpaper in the background. It makes sense, because the eye searches for the most obvious thing first.

Even if you are designing a web site of your own, you have to think of the site the way a stranger would see it if you want it to stand out. That is what makes some graphics stand out more than others.

The best of the web design graphics

Perhaps the most popular forms of web design graphics that are out there today are those that are animated and/or talk to the visitors. They are not like those Bonzi Buddy graphics that interact with the visitors and follow them around the website, but animated characters that move or talk in some way. These types of graphics command attention in a way that is almost human and are a lot of fun.
