Raster VS. Vector

Hello Everyone,

Today in class we learned the difference between raster and vector.

RASTER                             VS                                VECTOR

Photoshop                                                                  Illustrator

Pixels                                                                         points and lines

                                                                                  type (not for large quantities of type)


We also discussed some basic icons in Illustrator. Most of the icons have arrows at the corner of their boxes; indicating that there are more icons relative to the visible one in the bar. For example:

• The pen tool
• Pen tool w/ + (adds points)
• Pen tool w/ - (deletes points)
• Square tool
• Ellipse tool
• Bevel square tool
• Star tool
• Hexagon tool
• Glare tool
