Would be great to expand on this and talk about the relationship between the two formats, specifically where and how it is appropriate to bring them together. I’m thinking of the common mistake of 100% black vector boxes butted up against the rich black edge of an image… with an obvious colour difference.

Top stuff Carl, keep em coming.

However, as photography will (probably) never be reproduced as vector art, it’s important to know how to use both vector and bitmap imagery together. I don’t see at as a competition, although if vector and bitmap had a fight, vector would kick arse, rather that both have a fundamental role to play as the basic building blocks of computer-aided design.

Very interesting tutorial.
I think it explains the difference between bitmap and vector very well! I like the digital TV explanation, it seem like a lot of people are still struggling with the concept of HDTV or HD content in any format. Resolution is important in any kind of medium print or screen.

In my opinion vector content wins without a doubt. As a designer I use vector programs like Adobe Illustrator as much as possible, because i could enlarge my designs to project them onto the surface of the moon (in Ultra HD), and still have a crisp image!

With vector you are always on the save side… like you said “it can be scaled (smaller and larger) without loss or quality or definition.”

Awesome, I ♥ Vectors!
