Material designed for print requires a higher resolution for maximum quality. Such things as the color range of the inks used, the color of the material printed on, and the calibration of the printing machine need to be considered. Terms such as "CMYK", "300dpi" and "bleed" are often used in conjunction with print design.
Material designed for display on the web usually has a lower resolution than that of print design, to save on download times and server space. Color consistency between different monitors has improved over the years and is usually not an issue. Terms such as "RGB", "72ppi" and "lossy" are often used in conjunction with web design.
Using original photography for a design project results in high-resolution, quality images. Rights-free images found on the internet or within stock photography sites could compromise design results. A unique image gives a project the edge it might otherwise be missing.
