The Correct Format of Artwork Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical equations, to represent images in computer graphics.Advantage: Vector Formats are Scalable Graphics, when Scaled or enlarged it loses no detail. Corel Draw ((ver. 9 - 13, Freehand (ver. 8 -10) for PC) all in Vector Drawing format - converted to Curves, To avoid font incompatibilities and other unwanted results. VECTOR - means Line Drawing and NOT bitmap images i.e. (.jpg, .bmp, .gif, .TIFF, .psd... etc. ) You may Send the Artwork in PDF format, as long as it was originally converted to curves in Corel Draw and you made sure it was in Vector Format Read more... Vector explained Please also note that you have done your Artwork Correct in Vector format. Most people make the Mistake of thinking that because they have Corel Draw they are now Experts in Artwork and often this is not the Case... It is good practice to have your artwork in the Correct format as for there are so many Different Branding methods, in some cases this is not necessary, it is advised to follow the methods below. Note: When Outline tool is used in images or text, the User often Forgets to apply Scale with image, the result when made bigger the outline goes out of proportion, creating unwanted or bad results, therefore these methods below help to eliminate as many unwanted results as possible. Also When using outline tool in (Corel Draw) often when Scaled it is lost, note, in wireframe below it is not even visible therefore does not really exist( when cutting from Vinyl, when cutting images are necessary for Signage) Keep that in mind too. If you are not that experienced rather leave it to professionals and pay for the artwork to be done correctly Also make Sure you don't have a Conglomeration of lines over each other make sure you look out for the Following Correct and incorrect Vector format Illustrated Below (Corel Draw):
Incorrect Format (Bitmap) What is Bitmap? In computer graphics, a bitmap or pixmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images. The term bitmap comes from the computer programming terminology, meaning just a map of bits, a spatially mapped array of bits. Now, along with pixmap, it commonly refers to the similar concept of a spatially mapped array of pixels. Raster images in general may be referred to as bitmaps or pixmaps, whether synthetic or photographic, in files or memory. In some contexts, the term bitmap implies one bit per pixel, while pixmap is used for images with multiple bits per pixel. Many graphical user interfaces use bitmaps in their built-in graphics subsystems; for example, the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 platforms' GDI subsystem, where the specific format used is the Windows and OS/2 bitmap file format, usually named with the file extension of .BMP (or .DIB for device-independent bitmap). Besides BMP, other file formats that store literal bitmaps include InterLeaved Bitmap (ILBM), Portable Bitmap (PBM), X Bitmap (XBM), and Wireless Application Protocol Bitmap (WBMP). Similarly, most other image file formats, such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and GIF, also store bitmap images (as opposed to vector graphics). Read more... Bitmap explained Disadvantage: When Low Resolution Image is scaled terrible result of distortion occurs Bitmap Images Deteriorate visually on the Final Printed product and can not improve on quality, as a result of a low resolution image supplied. Images often have to be enlarged for printing or reproduction therefore Vector Graphics is preferred. See Example Below:
