I am sure who ever designed it used .gif's for the load speed versus heavy jpegs.. I know the owner of VanityCash and he is very particular about load speeds.. |
I'd really like to see a designer that has half a clue with "Save for Web" save out the JPEGS and GIFs and compare the file size difference..
I bet it's not much.. Since.. I've been in this situation 100x before..
I said it looked "impressive" as in "Ooo lookit the pretty colors" I don't really think it looks "badass" tho.. And yes I did want to know if someone from GFY did it because everyone here brags about how amazing they are and post nothing to show for it. So I'm just waiting for something I think looks reasonably good to be done by one of the loud mouths here.

Hahaha.. I'm just pointing it out.. see none of you are actual designers.. so none of you get it.. But using the stock tire track pattern.. is weak.. especially with the shit people are doing with custom patterns these days..
It's just funny...

What's your excuse? dumbass. I love how when people disagree with something they just say something stupid like "yer an idiot" Yah well I got 10 more years experience making stuff pretty for the screen than you.

You are right and wrong.. Most of the slices on that page can benefit from being jpegs.
I dunno what kind of shitty monitor you are on but the ENTIRE site is made up of gradients and colors blending together.... because they used GIFS for everything I see a ton of dithering and banding.
The designer doesn't even understand how to make optimized GIFs look GOOD.. Lookit the black on the girls underwear it is spotted with color..
Lookit Twisty's Animated banners.. That is a designer that knows how to work Gif optimization..
In REALITY the designer should go thru each slice and play with the quality settings till he finds the perfect medium between quality and file size..
GIF and PNG are COMPLETELY different.
GIF is *NOT* high quality 24bit PNG is. GIF is only 256 colors..

Now, the flash could have been built in vectors and better photos used, really saving on it's file size and not having to give up the quality so much then.
|
Everything i've done in flash I use PNGs exported at highest quality. That's why my shit looks soo sharp. I've never had a problem with my stuff taking too long to load..
I will use the built in text editors to do text.. Even tho TEXT png layers are usually only a few KB it just makes editing easier..

The couple minor lineup errors or spaces, isn't going to stop Webmasters from pushing the product. Now if things are way out of wack, yes - but not a 1/8 missing line gap in the bottom right corner.

Hey man i'm a designer it's my job to notice this stuff.. And it's the fact I notice and don't let stuff like that slip that keeps me UP..
You guys can just keep yer heads stuck up yer ass.. I really don't give a flying fuck.. it's not my site..
And it's better if yer stuff looks low quality cause my stuff will just stand out that much more..
