About Graphic Designing

Graphics are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain. Images that are generated by a computer are called computer graphics. Examples are photographs, drawings, line art, mathematical graphs, line graphs, charts, diagrams, typography, numbers, symbols, geometric designs, maps, engineering drawings, or other images. Graphics often combine text, illustration, and color.



Raster graphics, also called bitmap graphics, is a type of digital image that uses tiny rectangular pixels, or picture elements, arranged in a grid formation to represent an image. The number of pixels called the resolution affects how much detail can be depicted in an image.

Vector graphics are made up of points (or coordinates) on a screen that is connected through lines and curves called paths. Vector graphics are widely used for creating logos, line art, 3D-like renderings, and animations.


The main difference between vector and raster graphics is that raster graphics are composed of pixels, while vector graphics are composed of paths. A raster graphic, such as a gif or jpeg, is an array of pixels of various colors, which together form an image.
