1. BITMAP IMAGES GRAPHICS
2. VECTOR IMAGES/ART GRAPHICS


*POPULAR BITMAP EDITING PROGRAMS

*KEY POINTS ABOUT BITMAP IMAGES:

Pixels in a grid
Resolution dependent
Resizing reduces quality
Easily converted
Restricted to rectangle
Minimal support for transparency

VECTOR ART/IMAGES GRAHICS

VECTOR GRAPHICS:
are made up of many individual, syllable objects. These objects are defined by mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they always render at the highest quality.

COMMON VECTOR FORMATS INCLUDES:

AI (Adobe Illustrator)
CDR (CorelDraw
CMX (Corel Exchange)
CGM Computer Graphics Metafile
DXF AutoCad
WMF (Window Meta file)


POPULAR VECTOR DRAWING PROGRAMS
Adobe Illustrator
CorelDraw
Serif Draw plus

COMMON METAFILE FORMATS:
EPS (Encapsulated Postscript
PDF (Portable Document Format)
PICT (Macintosh)

KEY POINTS ABOUT VECTOR GRAPHICS
Scalable
Resolution Independent
No background
Cartoon- like
Inappropriate for photo-realistic images
Metafiles contain both raster and vector data

*NOTE: DO NOT IGNORE THIS FIRST PART OF THE TRAINING, BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT BE A PROFESSIONAL GRAPHICS DESIGNER WITHOUT YOU KNOWING ALL THE FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF THE PROGRAM. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WILL BE STARTING THE CORELDRAW PROPER IN THE NEXT TUTOR.
