Why the hell are peole becoming so lazy not to compress their images when placed online? I am currently refering to http://www.georgeadams.eu/ but nearly every portfolio site I come across has huge images.
It is difficult enough using a 56k here, but when people become so slack it just fucks me off.
And don't give me the "your the only dsigner on the planet with a 56k" shit. What if I had broadband with a 1Gig limited usage. CUNTS
Fucks sake pull ya finger out.
GRRRRRRR

You're the only person on the planet with a 56K modem.
:D

Can't beleive you're still on 56k! That's like, so, 1999.

I just wish we could skip designing websites for people with 56k modems by now...
- imadesigner0
Isn't that the point - a lot of people are no longer designing websites for poor people (56k ers), hence not compressing images. Especially with photo wesites, if you've spent hours taking gorgeous photos, why compress the hell out of them:

Sorry dancer, but I no longer spend hours compressing. I compress - yes, but I dont spend hours twatting about with the GIF's colour palette or anything anymore.
JPG's are done at 70%, and I think that's dandy.

I understand that a large chunk of users are on Broadband by now but there are still people out there.
Do you build a website for only 1 or 2 browsers or do you fix bugs across all the different set ups.
Are you not worried about eating peoples bandwidth saving on webspace and genrally having a more slim line site?
You don't have to compress the images to fuck 65-70% will suffice but when I see 250k images that should be 70k it really gets my goat because no one can be arsed.
It doesn't take "hours to compress" a siple click of a button or you coud even set up an action.
pfft Lazy I tell thee, L.A.Z.Y
p.s I live in a blackhole in the UK not even my mobile phone works out here in the sticks

Try and keep up Dancer...

I see what you're saying Dancer.
There should be some parameters that all websites comply to.
Bandwith morals if you will.

Probably someone should tell Build that their 600x450 image on the homepage doesn't need to be nearly half a meg...

Build = The worst culprit. I have never seen any of his work :p

I was told yesterday that my folio was overcompressed, obviously because I was trying to please dinosaurs like dancer, I'm going to resave those images shortly so they are nice and crisp, big fuckers for real men with real connections AHAAARRRRGGHHH!

Doesn't the wait time while they download build suspense? Maybe a dramatic embeded wave file would help.
