| Vector | Vector graphics are based on vectors, which lead through locations called control points or nodes. Vector files such as AI and EPS can remain editable so you can open them back up in Illustrator and edit any text or other elements within the graphic. |
| image quality | dependent on Resolution & Aspect Ratio |
| raster | Computers. a set of horizontal lines composed of individual pixels, used to form an image on a CRT or other screen. |
| Resolution | amount of detail (or data) stored for an image |
| PPI | pixels per inch |
| Image editing software | used to change the resolution of an image |
| Monitors | are low resolution devices, most display 72 PPI |
| Printers | are high resolution devices (without pixelation or blurriness) DPI |
| pixelation | each pixel in the image must cover a larger space on the screen (blurry ~ distorted) |
| Compression | Compression shrinks data to reduce storage capacity or accelerate transmission. Compressing data can lead to cost savings in disk and/or flash storage as well |
| JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, TIFF | file formats |
| nodes | drawing points |
