Digital Imagining: LA 8 - Image Formats

This activity was to explore the possibilities of different image formats for the web. Of the three I went with the jpg at 50 quality because I thought it had the best compression to size ratio, that is this assumes that the image is meant as a high quality close up, in which case it would have been better to go with the PNG 24, which was much more clear, but the file size was a bit high for something like this. As for the design choices on the arrangement, I went with 3rds, which was a little tricky with 10 images in the space but I think the overall them was balance and stability, which is something that going green isn't always associated with, with many people only focusing on the disruptive nature of a change to their normal way of life (see the carbon tax). The type choice I thought was perfect because is sort of represented the quirky culture that is sometime associated with going green, and the background texture brought it all together.
Version 2. Better focus, better flow.
