# I like this
Why is that wallpaper a pdf though? I'm scared to download it now.

# Sorry
As a mac user I prefer PDF wallpapers. Cleaner and much smaller files you see.

Heres a JPG version.

# Oh, I see.
That seems a little odd. I've only ever experienced PDFs as an ebook medium.
Still, it's all good if it works.

# Have you drawn it
all vectory, so the PDF scales to larger resolutions without being a big file?

# Yep
I use illustrator so the PDF is smaller file size than the much smaller image size of the jpg - if that makes sense.

*goes over in head*

# Aren't vectors generally more memory-intensive than rasters though?
Or am I completely wrong about that?

# wrong I'm afraid
A circle will be made up of about 4 points while a picture will have thousands of pixels. If there are lots of effects like gradients and glows etc on a vector it might get large.
