Day 3x11

Most of today's class was spent on learning about the specifics of graphics details. Mr. Tammik introduced us to Bitmap versus Vector images. We learnt that Bitmaps are the common image format (like the ones cameras capture), and are large in size, with rather low resolution. The editing tools used to edit Bitmaps include Photoshop amd paint. The code for a bitmap is very long and complicated because the code records the postition and colour code for ever single pixel in a bitmap image. In contrast, vector images are very small in size, because their codes are mathematical equations that show a program how to draw an image. Vector images are created on programs such as Illustrator, and have very high resolution due to the mathematical equation. The only draw back with vector images is that they cannot be very compliocated like a photo. Once we learnt about the differences between the image types, we were able to get some time to experiment with Illustrator. I was actually able to start a few of my characters. I found the program to be very easy to use.
