20 Fresh Vector Illustrations
Aug 13, 2009 Inspiration
By Nate Jelovich
The main difference between vector illustrations and others, such as bitmap (aka raster), is that vectors will not degrade in quality no matter how large they are scaled. Vectors work by using mathematical formula to store the data such as lines, shapes and colors. Where bitmap images (which account for nearly all images displayed online) are composed of pixels, vectors are composed of points, lines and curves. As you can imagine, working with vector images provides much more flexibility.
