CREATING DIGITAL GRAPHICS

Pixel dimensions - the horizontal and vertical measurements of an image expressed in pixels.

dpi resolution - dots per inch - means every pixel in a line

quality - a image can have either bad or good quality it depeneds on the brightness, colour, contrast and highlights, but good quality is better in gereral.

compression settings - to make an image smaller and to get more image information and the format the will be smaller and will not take up as much space.

Bitmap/raster - raster image is made up of pixels, each pixel is made with a color value. When you change the size of a raster image, for example if you shrink or stretch the pixels themselves which can result to a very blurry image and poor quality image.

vector - It is possible to edit each object separately, for example, change of shape, colour, size and position.
A vector graphic is quite large, it doesn't need a lot of computer memory. Therefore the file size of a vector graphic is often very small

.tiff - (Tag Image File Format). Tiff is an image format file for high-quality graphics.

.jpg is an image format for high quality for your image also takes less space in your drive then saveing it as another format.
