1) No, as of yet I have not mastered the css of rollover images and valid xhtml...working on it though.
2) I like to use graphics to help sell the story. I come from a printing background and find that when there are no graphics to a piece, it reads like the wall street journal. Now provided, if the client requests no graphics, then no graphics..
3) I feel like graphics and to the page, keeps the reader interested a little more and adds that extra touch.
4) yes...I try to adhere to copyright laws and understand that as a designer and advertising agency, the importance is original work. You can use a piece for inspiration and what not. I think nowadays though, the art of doing your own graphics is getting lost in our "quick turnaround" way of thinking.
4a) I even try to hand draw my artwork on my new toy.... a graphic tablet....
