Hello Everyone !!! Hope you all are creating new designs. Great Job!! Now, let's go to the topic.

What is Graphics ?

Graphics are visual images or drawing on something that may be a paper, a book, a T-shirt, on furniture, mobile back cover. Everything we see are Graphics. If you draw  lines that are also called Graphics. If graphics made on computer, it is called Computer Graphics. 
From Greek word " Graphikos "  that means something written , the word  'Graphics ' is derived. 

 There are two types of Graphics. 


  • Vector Graphics 
  • Raster Graphics or Bitmap Graphics

Vector Graphics 

Vector Graphics is object oriented or point oriented. Graphical elements are called Object. This object can edit any time that you can change its size , curves , colors etc. Vector Graphics is stretchable. If you stretch it that means if you zoom it more, its quality never gets distorted.

Raster Graphics 

Vector Graphics is pixel oriented. If you zoom a photograph, you can see there are a lot of dots that make the picture, these dots are called Pixel. More pixel, the clarity of the picture getting better. You can never edit this pixel. if you zoom it more and more, you can see the picture quality is getting distorted. The strechablity of Raster is low.
