There are two main types of 2D graphics - bitmaps and vectors. Bitmaps are made up of pixels and can become pixilated when stretched, while vectors are defined by mathematical equations and maintain high quality when resized. Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image, with higher resolution resulting in clearer images. When editing images, tools like cropping, handles, bounding boxes, standoff, text wrap, proportion, and skewing can be used. Standard page sizes for documents include letter, legal, and tabloid, but custom sizes can also be used. Graphics should not crowd the page and it's best to have one dominant graphic while varying graphic sizes and shapes.
3. BitmapA computer graphic file that contains dot-by-dot representations of the original graphic imageBasically, its an image made up of pixelsWhen you try and stretch a bitmap image, it becomes pixilated
4. BitmapBitmapped images are also referred to as Raster ImagesRaster Images are often created with a camera or scanner.
5. VectorDefined by mathematical equations instead of pixels, so they always have a high quality.No matter how you stretch vector images, they wont pixilateMost clipart graphics are vector images and they are resolution independentNot useable for realistic imagesToo cartoon-likeResolutionRefers to the number of pixels in an imageUsually stated as dpi (dots per inch) or ppi (pixels per inch)The higher the resolution, the more pixels will be in your image, the clearer your image will be
