I've been working on a new map, which is mostly polished, and would like to add another professional touch to it. A lot of maps, like DoTA and Footman Frenzy, have professional looking load screens that someone has obviously put some time into. I was wondering if I could convince anyone to do the same sort of thing for me. Of course you will be acknowledged in the game for your contribution.

For a preview of what my map is all about, follow the link below.

What is the size for the load screen? And would it be like a jpeg or gif, or like a special blizzard image thing? details please!

It would obviously be better as a .JPEG.

Long since I made a loadscreen for wc3 but if I remember correctly you have to convert it to a .blp(blizzard image map) or something like that to use it...

Maybe you should provide some details for what you want on the loading screen so it gets a little easier for the ones that will make it Morkeliph..

Aquarian, I'm new to this making images thing. So if you wouldn't mind, please explain to me why JPEG is the best?

jpgs are smaller.
if you want lossless, png. but you ought to compress them a bit for the map, where a lossless source is better. iirc wc3 does not implement jpg images.

You know, I don't really know what I want, other than something that looks nice and people will enjoy. I figured I'd leave the specifics up to the artists since they usually know best.
