File Sizes - JPEG image = 303 KB, GIF 256 colours = 834 KB, PNG 24 = 2.086 MB. JPEG file chosen for use in web production as much smaller (almost 1/3 size of GIF) than other two formats.
Design Format - Background colours representing space or oceans (blue) and green rim (earth) were chosen. Photos relating to practical, everyday ways to help the environment were included in the inne rim while photos representing factors relating to government (city council), education (school sign), industry (recycled paper compliant with sustainable forestry practices) and earth's natural resources (tree) were placed outside the rim. I played around with layer effects but decided to hold off until I've learnt more about how to use it properly. I could not quite get the drop shadow effect I wanted.
Below is my first draft at the image design.
Revised Image - radial gradient applied.
Resubmitted with attention to design aspects such as hierarchy, flow and colour consistency. All photos in circular area and underlying shape pattern over them used to indicate their relative similar importance. However, the bigger images attract nore attention but I hoped to balance that out by where I placed them. I think I'm getting there.
