Introduction to Vector Graphics and Adobe Illustrator
Introduction To Technology
Types of Graphics
In computer graphics, there are two type of graphics: Raster Vector
Raster Graphics
A raster image is also known as “bitmap”, which is data displayed on a grid of pixels
Adobe Photoshop
Raster images are large in file size
What are Vector Graphics? Vector Images are created
directly in the computer instead of being scanned or brought in from a digital camera or other media source
Instead of using pixels, vector graphics are created with mathematics
Vector Graphics are also called “Object Art” because all shapes and colors are created by the outlines of objects
Why study Vector Graphics? Used in Graphics Industry Found in the Real World Building Block for advanced
complex graphic projects
Advantages of Vector Graphics
Vector graphics are resolution independent, which means no mater how much the artwork is enlarged or reduced, it looks great-no jagged edges
This makes vector graphics idea for creating logos, maps, and other smooth-edged images that will be used at different sizes.
Vector Graphics can be easily modified
Unlike raster images, vector images can be easily modified
With a click of a button you can apply stroke and fill properties
Vector Graphics have smaller file sizes
The mathematics of vector graphics allow large shapes to be described as extremely small amounts of data
Examples of Vector Graphics
Logos, Business Cards, Cartoons, Animations
Hyper-realistic Vector Imaging
Vector imaging requires a new approach to imaging
Most people struggle with the concept of objects art vs line art.
Think of Bob Ross When designing Vector images! Where did Bob always
start? How did he assemble
a painting?

Any Questions?
Introduction to Adobe Illustrator
What is Adobe Illustrator? Adobe Illustrator is a Professional Vector
Image production program. Used heavily in the Computer Graphics
Industry

Your Assignments for today Illustrator walkthrough Custom Header(Moodle?)
Follow me exactly Customize this for your program
Follow the Ghostbat tutorial, -Actually read it!
Choose a second tutorial of your liking to complete –Actually read this one too, they can be tricky!
Design, create, and fabricate a custom glass using Illustrator and the laser engraver -I will explain this later.
Remaining time should be used to create custom graphics for your program, classes, website, or Moodle page.
