Digital Imaging - Learning Activity # 8 Web Image Formats


Aim: To take 10 photos that reflect the notion of 'being green'. 
I originally had 10 pictures, but was naughty and removed 5 as I felt these photos were more significant and told a story alone.  
We then had to experiment with formats (jpg, gif and png) and compare the image qualities and files sizes of each.  I found the png format proved a higher quality picture, but was also the largest file at 2.78MB.  The images became slightly distorted when using the gif format, and the file was 1.04MB.  My default format of jpg proves to be the best comparison with a reasonable good picture at only 362KB, which is what I have uploaded above.

 I wasn't happy with the original 'being green' so I changed the layout a little.  Still not completely happy, but with more practice, I'll have another go in the future.
