I actually try my best to have CSS formatted text instead of all graphics on my galleries...
I think it works better with SEs, makes the page load faster, and can look just as neat.
Some graphics I simply copy from sponsor tours, some I make myself (in PaintShop) taking the sponsor tour as a guidance. But then it usually takes me some 2-3 hours to get a new template done (hence I don't have as many as I should have).
Only recently have I started to make my own thumbnails by hand (PaintShop again - I hate that Photoshop wants me to buy a new computer, where it works fine all day long without running PS) - and yes: great improvement, but again time consuming (~30 minutes incl. submission thumbs).
