Vector Graphics are unlike most other images such as JPEG’s and BMP ‘s. The are not made up of lots of little pixels but instead are made up of paths determined by there start and end point. Other points that are between the start and end change the image. A path can be a line, a circle, a triangle or any other shape with given points.
Because vector images are not made up of lots of individual dots they can be re sized with out loosing image quality. If you blow up a JPEG image it will eventually look ‘pixelated’ as the size of the dots that make it up are big enough to see. This is why Vectors are ideal for big images or logo’s as logo’s need to be scaled down to fit on products such as business cards or scaled up to huge sizes to be put on billboards or other things.
Software that is used to create vector images on the computer are:
AI(Adobe Illustrator),
Ps(Photoshop)
CDR(CoralDRAW),
SWF(ShockwaveFlash)

This piece of work is buy a designer based in and around New Zealand. I first came across him in a copy of Computer Arts magazing which he was in for a calander he produced. This was also a vector image. He has been the arts director for a number of high end magazines such as V Magazing and Seed Magazine. He was also asked to design a cover for New York Times Magazing.
This is a promotional piece he did for the guardian newspaper. It uses different guardian newspaper headlines so that people who view it can get an idea of what the newspapers views are by reading some of them.
My opinion:
I really like this piece. It is simple even though there is a lot going on and i think this is too do with the fact that the colours are all close to each other so your eyes take it in better and also the fact that some of the headlines have been turned sideways. This helps break the words up so you dont feel like there is so much to look at and read. It also helps you concentrate on small parts of the picture without your vision being skewed by the rest of it.
