Vector And Illustrator 03

Slideshow Transcript

1. Slide 2: Brief discussion about vector graphics VECTOR GRAPHICS
2. Slide 3: Vector Graphics • a method of generating images that uses mathematical descriptions to determine the position, length, and direction in which lines are to be drawn.
3. Slide 4: Vector Graphics • an alternative to raster graphics
4. Slide 5: THE ANATOMY OF ILLUSTRATION
5. Slide 6: An ILLUSTRATION is composed of Illustration: Objects: different vector OBJECTS
6. Slide 7: Paths: Each OBJECT have one or more PATHS
7. Slide 8: Line Segments and Anchor Points: PATHS are composed of LINE SEGMENTS that usually have ANCHOR POINTS at each end
8. Slide 9: Anchor Points • … are the fundamental components of any vector image • … define the position and curve properties of a line segment Bezier Curve
9. Slide 10: • Anchor Points may or may not have CONTROL HANDLES • Each Point has one or two Control Handles
10. Slide 11: Objects • Stroke can be applied to the PATH of an object • Fill can be applied to the area enclosed by the PATH
11. Slide 12: • Stroke may have properties such as weight, color, Solid vs. Dashed, Line Caps or Corners • Fill may have properties such as Color, Uniform or Gradient, Pattern or Texture
12. Slide 13: Common Vector Formats • SWF (Shockwave Flash) • SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) • AI (Adobe Illustrator) • CDR (CorelDRAW) • CMX (Corel Exchange) • CGM Computer Graphics Metafile • DXF AutoCAD • WMF Windows Metafile
13. Slide 14: Stroke Examples: Solid Dashed None Pattern* Fill Examples: Linear Radial Gradient Gradient Pattern Texture*
14. Slide 15: Path and Subpaths • Open or Closed Open Closed
15. Slide 16: Comparison on the two types of images RASTER VS. VECTOR
16. Slide 17: Raster Image Vector Image
17. Slide 18: WHEN TO USE VECTOR GRAPHICS?
18. Slide 19: Resolution Independent You can increase and decrease the size of vector images to any degree and your lines will remain crisp and sharp.
19. Slide 20: RasterizinggnizirotceV Vector images can be easily converted into raster images but not vice versa.
20. Slide 21: Vector Raster No background Vector objects can be placed over other objects, and the object below will show through.
21. Slide 22: DISADVANTAGES OF VECTOR GRAPHICS
22. Slide 23: Cartoonish Property They're unsuitable for producing photo-realistic imagery.
23. Slide 24: TRN Once converted to Bitmap format, it loses all its features.
