Lesson 3.2 (backwards) Image File Types


  1. JPG
    1. I'm Lovin' It, On a random search for .jpg examples I found this company's website that does promotional material for McDonald's Ireland. This is a 217kb .jpg file, often the best compression for gradients and rich photo-realistic images. I am guilty of visiting McDonald's in a hunger stricken fury last week on my way from Hayward campus to Foothill for class, why do I occasionally crave this stuff, I felt gross.
  2. PNG
    1. Web Designers vs Web Developers. I found this info graphic to be hilarious, and at 158kb, a png format is often the best compression for the in-between of photo realism and the super basic graphic. I mean seriously just look at the link, as a wanna-be web designer and a person who knows content developers, there is a stroke of truth and comedy to it 
  3. GIF
    1. POPA At Work This gif image is offered through wikipedia at only a small file size, 14kb. No higher resolution is offered in fear of copyright infringement. The bottom of the article explains. A basic 4 color image, without any graduating tones or perspective, is great for compressing to gif.
