Glossary
The world of graphic design, video production, and web development is full of technical terms that are often difficult to understand in everyday life. In this glossary, I explain the most important terms from the fields of print, video, and web – concisely, clearly, and without unnecessary jargon. Whether you want to learn about prepress, video editing, or web design: you'll find the right explanation here.
Missing a term you'd like explained? Just send it my way and I'll add it to the list.
JPEG
Short for "Joint Photographic Experts Group" – a widely used compressed image format ideal for photos. It reduces file size significantly but loses some quality each time it's re-saved, so it's not ideal for logos or graphics with sharp edges.
