Some Vectors
Posted 19 January 2005 - 07:38 PM
Some of you may remember me, some of you might not. According to the note at the top of the page I haven't posted in 617 days, so I won't be hurt if you don't. Anyway, Chris IMed me and asked me to post some of my vector work on here, so I'll throw up something. Done in Illustrator CS in about an hour's time.
Is This A Good Question/Topic?

that's pretty tight, anyone in particular or just a model?

Vector in this sense refers to the fashion in which the picture was created. Vector based graphics use commands or statements to draw lines or shapes, each of which is stored as an independant object. This makes it easier (according to some) to change the digital image. That is one reason some people think it has an advantage over raster graphics (like bitmaps). Another is image size.
I'm no graphic artist, so you may want to get another opinion. To my knowledge, the usual tool for vector graphics is Adobe Illustrator, for raster graphics it's Photoshop.

raster = images made by modifying pixels.. like in Photoshop, MSPaint etc
vector = images created with curves, lines, points, shapes, gradients which all get magically transformed into pixels. These lines and shapes and whatnot are drawn and stored by the program by using mathematical equations. May sound weird or difficult , but it's not. Just the theory is I guess.
You can produce vector grafics in Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, CorelDRAW.. and probably others that I can't remeber.. but Adobe Illustrator is probably the best (easiest to learn, too)
unlike raster graphics (or bitmaps), with vectors there is no difference if your image is the size of a stamp or the size of a building... it will always be crisp and sharp, and the same file size... that's why logos are generaly created in vector form...
