Now don’t go thinking I’m trash-talking pixels here, because pixel (raster) graphics are 100% necessary – they’re just different is all. We’ve all experienced this with photographs, right? You find a beautiful image online, print it off your computer to fit the 8.5 x 11 inch page, and it comes out looking all sad and pixelated. Pixel-based (also called raster) graphics, on the other hand, will get blurry if you blow them up too large. Even from 5 inches to 50 feet - they’ll always appear crisp and sharp. The benefit of vector graphics is that they are infinitely scalable, meaning they will retain their shape no matter how large you make them. Vector-based simply means graphics that are made of paths and not pixels (such as a photograph). Hold up a second – what do you mean, vector-based? Illustrator is powerful software by Adobe that produces vector-based illustrations and graphics. How to Make a Perfect Heart in Illustrator How to Make Chevron (Zig Zag Lines) in Illustrator
