Dithered images won't be for everyone. I'm sure if I shrunk down a full colour JPEG to a very small size I could have used those rather than my dithered images, but I figure I could have a bit extra size (dimensions) with the dithered images. Also, yeah, I was totally going for the Solar version of Low Tech Magazine's aesthetic too...
