TOPIC 2: GRAPHIC DESIGN

GRAPHIC DESIGN is a form of visual communication that uses words and
images to express an idea or send a message.
DIGITAL IMAGE is simply the digital version of a two-dimensional image. A
digital image
can either be a vector or a raster.
A VECTOR image file contains points, lines and shapes. A vector
image retains its quality even if you zoom in on it.
A RASTER image is composed of grid of dots called pixels.
COMPRESSION is the method of reducing the files size or the number of bits
that it is composed of. LOSSLESS compression retains all the original data in the file
while LOSSY compression removes some of the data to make the file smaller.
IMAGE FILE FORMAT:
1. GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. It uses lossless
compression and supports 256 colors. It is ideal for images with
sharp edges and few colors such as letters and logos. GIF also
supports basic animation.
2. PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. PNG was created as
an open source alternative to GIF. Like GIF, PNG also uses
lossless compression. PNG supports 16 million colors.

3. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the

organization that created it. JPEG uses lossy format. JPEG can be
greatly compressed, which makes it ideal for online use. JPEG is
commonly used in websites and digital cameras.
