| The world of graphic design is unbounded. PC technologies have brought numerous transformations and possibilities to the branch of graphics. Nowadays PC images are becoming more and more accurate and clear. The most widespread graphic formats are vector illustrations and raster (or bitmap) graphics. It is be useful both for expert designers and for PC users to learn more about new achievements in graphic design. Vector art constitutes the application of geometrical figures such as points, lines, curves and others, so as to form illustrations in PC graphics. It is necessary to understand the destination of this instrument to guarantee its efficient use. Vector illustrations make up an illustration like mathematical formulae with the help of lines, shapes and colors. There is specialized vector program that is designated to use this mathematical formula to built screen image of the best quality. Vector art is widely applied by specialists in graphic design and even by amateurs that need to use some images to create a certain project. Initially vector art was applied in the air defense system of America. These days vector art is still used in military and specialized systems. Amidst the most widespread modern directions of vector illustrations usage is laser shows, which include 2 perpendicular mirrors moving in order to draw text and shapes on a screen. Vector images are widely applied by such PC software as Adobe Illustrator, Coral Draw and similar programs. Though vector illustrations are known for their famous for its scalability, it does not signify that vector art is much better than bitmap illustrations. Both applications have pros and cons. In fact, they are used for different purposes. Bitmap application uses pixels, and in such a way it is great in photo editing. Furthermore, bitmap graphics provides fuller color range than vector application. At the same time vector images are widely used for drawing images from scratch. Thus, now you have great opportunities in graphic design. It is up to you to decide which software exactly is demanded for your kind of activity. |
