Yes, Andreas, JPEG is for photos or images with continuous tone. I usually ask for PDF files if the work is coming out of Illustrator. For work specific to the web (ie. a web graphics or design class), I ask for a link I can view in my browser. It’s great to see an article develop so many ideas and comments – thanks for writing!

Great article! I just have one issue with it: Unless it's for photos specifically, please don't teach future designers to use the JPEG image format for raster graphics (line graphics, text etc). The compression artifacts will likely make the image look horrible, especially in print. PDF is great for vector images, but while it supports lossless image compression, often your PDF exporter will store raster images in JPEG format (inside the PDF file). For standalone raster graphics (except photos), what you want is the PNG format. It's supported by all modern web browsers (like JPEG and GIF), has an alpha channel for variable transparency (unlike JPEG and GIF), handles millions of colors (unlike GIF) and, most importantly, uses lossless compression (unlike JPEG), avoiding compression artifacts.
