Tips on creating graphics

Make it big.

You want people to SEE it. Make it big enough and flashy enough to catch their attention.

Write out your message clearly.

You don't want people to think the web author put the graphic there on purpose. Write something out to get the point across that this image is -stolen- from another server without permission and that the web author was caught doing it. Point people to the Web Guard homepage for clarification if they don't understand.

Don't get in trouble yourself.

Try not to use images that your web provider or the bandit's web provider might have banned, like pornography. While some of us may be tempted, you want the bandit to get in trouble, not you.

Ready Made Graphics:

Feel free to download any of these images and use them freely against bandwidth bandits. Just right-click on the one you want to pull up the menu, and choose 'save image as'. AOL users, please note that if you have graphics compression enabled in your browser, you will not save off the images correctly, and they will appear broken to the rest of the world (those of us not on AOL) when you use it on your web page. So please follow the instructions detailed on this page before downloading any images off this site: Web Development on America Online.

A nice guy named Joe Nadeau made an animated gif version of a bandit graphic. So go to his page here to see it!
