Bold: Make Your Words Stand Out

I understand the large file size is a problem, but please don't suggest anyone use JPEG for images. It's a terrible format and I wish it would go away. It ruins artwork. I see the developer changed it to a JPEG and named it *.GIF. Weird, at any rate the problem is the large size of the image 2560x1600 @24. Even on my Surface Pro the image is far too large. Does anyone have a link the the original PNG? It would make a nice wallpaper. Also, anyone have credit for the artist?

JPEG doesn't ruin art any more than MP3 ruins music. I'd never send a compressed JPEG to a printer, just like I wouldn't send an MP3 to be mastered. But most users won't be able to tell the image quality difference if you fine tune the compression level, but they will notice a slow loading page.

As a pixel artist, I can say that: yes, JPEG does ruin art. I'm an artist, not a web developer so my perspective is different.
