In a nutshell you get 2 kinds of computer graphics - Raster and Vector
A photograph is a raster image, if you try to enlarge it. it will pixelate as your enlarging the size of the pixels to make the image larger, thus it looks "blocky". It stores the details about every pizel in the image, which makes them larger.
Vector images however are in their simplest form, a coilection of start and end points with shape type and the relevant coordinates, which means you can draw something tiny and enlarge it to an enormous size without distortion. Very commonly used for stuff like CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings, if you ever use AutoCAD or similar the start and end points I mention above, become apparent when your drawing with CAD packages, to the extent that some can type in a drawing and the package will translate that into an image, but thats not very common as people are generally more visual,
My poor neglected blog! I just keep forgeting and running out of time in the day to post anything. I will try to post at least a few times a week *crossign fingers*
love the colours.
