We want every project to look perfect, and to do that we ask for artwork that is a high resolution vector image. So let's take a look at what these types of art files are, and why we look for these when producing high quality projects for you.
VECTOR
A vector graphic is an artwork made up of points, lines, and curves that are based upon
mathematical equations, rather than solid colored square pixels. This means no matter the
size or how far zoomed in the image is, the lines, curves, and points remain smooth. The artwork will never have jagged lines or blurriness. Also colors are separated into their own shape (vs a bunch of little squares making a colored area), which makes changing colors within these graphics as easy as the click of a button.
RASTER
Most people are familiar with .jpg images—like those you would get from your digital camera. If you have ever zoomed in very close, or blown up a .jpg image too large, you may have noticed that the image becomes blurry and the colors turn into small squares or dots. The small dots are called pixels and this kind of image is called a raster graphic. Raster images are used for web graphics that are to be displayed on the screen.
WHY THIS MATTERS?
Vector graphics produce professional looking branding. They are a big part of most printed or published materials. Logos, for example, should always have a vector format. Those smooth lines and shapes produce the best quality printed materials, having a solid, consistent color and crisp, clear text. You can use your vector logo huge on a billboard or small enough for a business card and every size in between.
