If interested, please send email to mshep at PegasusSoftware.com.
If possible, please include a link where I can se some samples of your work and an estimate of the cost per graphic.

Thank you.

Odd… you post so much info about the project itself yet zero about compensation. How do you think that will work for you? BTW 12×12 pixel? LOL!

Unless you mean bullets… Anything smaller than the 32×32 would be almost completely illegible at standard screen resolution. You sure?

yes i am sure. very small software icons and the sort of graphic-interface buttons are often 16×16.

its actually pretty challenging work, to get something to look "good" at such a reduced size. You have to have a feel for it, thats for sure. I suck at it and I hate it.

Look at the web icons (favicons). They are 16×16 and can be very clear.

Okay okay 🙂

As you can see from the return address, I’m more a print specialist than a web-head… It just seems awfully tiny to me, but then I’m used to doing hi-res posters and signage. 🙂

I’m very interested in the project. Please email me more information regarding color scheme, icon representation, compensation and time frame.

Actually, they did ask you to state your price. So, that is not "zero about compensation."

What I find more odd is that they want the images in JPG. With files this tiny it is importatnt that you control every single pixel. Even the smallest JPG compression-induced artifact would potentially spoil the appearance. I’d want to do this kind of project as an indexed color file or an uncompressed format such as TIF. That is, of course, if I wanted to do it. As howldog commented elsewhere in the thread, I also find it tedious and I’m terrible at it.

Nope, you won’t get it. Don’t read too well do you?

Hi Tom,

I only asked for JPG’s because I didn’t know any better. It is important to me to be able to have transparent backgrounds so the images don’t always appear square. I’ve worked with JPG’s before and know they can do this, but I haven’t worked with other formats other than GIF. I’m happy to try to work with whatever format. Thanks for the tip to go with TIF or another uncompressed format!

Best regards,

Mike

JPEGS cannot have transparency.

Not on this planet.

In which applications? Not Windows

You just posted that 12 x 12 was the standard size, now you change that by over 80%? That IS a different story.

Yes, this guys request isn’t all that unreasonable.
Anything that small intended for the web should probably be gifs, though.
