Normally to create a vector we will use the Adobe Illustrator program, which is a specialized design program.
Therefore, if you are going to work with photographs, we recommend using pixels, and if you want to create a logo or icon, use vectors. An image (composed of pixels) will always have a more realistic color combination, definition and results than a vector. One of the most notable differences between vectors and pixels is the colors. If we want to print an image it must have at least 300dpi, while if you want it to be seen on the screen, it must contain 72dpi. If we want to measure how many pixels there are, we must take into account the DPO (dots per inch). Each pixel has a specific color, so the more pixels it has, the more definition the image will have. When we approach a photograph, whether it is printed or on a screen, we can see how the image is made up of little squares or dots, called pixels. What do we use vectors for? Normally, they are used to create graphic elements that will need to be in different sizes, such as logos, icons, etc. Being lines, and anchor points, you can expand it as much as you need, the good thing is that it will always look the same. Vectors, as curious as it may seem, is a set of mathematical equations, lines that join different points on the screen. First of all, we are going to explain what each term is to get into context. In this blog we explain why it happens.Įverything we observe on our screen is made up of pixels or vectors. Many times we wonder how it can be that there are images that can be seen perfectly when we zoom, no matter how infinite, and other times when enlarging the image it appears blurry and with "squares".
