Vector vs bitmap

In this post i will be talking about the unique image types and what they are used for and what the pros and cons are of these specific image types these two are known as vector and bitmap.

Vector

Vector images are mainly used for illustration purposes mainly used in forms of logos and designs for clothing brands and other devices they are often basic shapes which are used in a range of cartoons and children books this is because these vector do not pixel-ate after the size of the vector has been change this allows the artist to alter the vector so it is to fit in any canvas size or area in which the vector will be needed.

Vectors are often basic shapes converted to create any of the follow objects

• Logos
• Brands
• Cartoon characters
• Vector graphics
• Scenery

Vectors are mainly used by illustrators as they use these vector graphics to create multiple pieces of media related content for magazines and web blogs these are also used to bring more flare to a blank canvas and with there only being a few polygons so they are able to used these graphics to there advantage as they will have no limitations for size change for multiple products and sizes of products.

Below is an example of a vector graphic.

Bitmap

Bitmap images are similar to vector graphics however the file format does not allow for the image to be stretched without the image quality being lost with it what i mean by this is that when you alter the size of a bitmap image you run the rusk of pix-elating the image once the image is either enahnced in size or is shrunk as well. However the quality in the image is better as you are able to have more in the image and more to do with the image not limited to basic shapes but also full pictures instead of basic shapes.
