Both bitmap and vector graphics are very important for varying jobs. For example, a photographer will demand more knowledge in Photoshop, as where a digital designer will require and benefit from more knowledge in Adobe Illustrator. This is because the two jobs are very different and bring out the differences between the two platforms. A photographer might want to alter the colors in a picture of a landscape, and photoshop is designed for exactly that. As where a digital designer might need to make a logo for a company and Adobe Illustrator gives them the ability to do that, by using shapes, lines, and colors. They are both equally important, just used for different purposes.
When working with bitmap graphics compared to vector graphics I found that out of the two I most enjoyed using vector graphics. So far they appeal more to me, from what I’ve seen it has had more of a creative or artist aspect to them. I say this because you can make whatever you want using basic or advanced shapes, even shapes of your own. On the surface, the application is very basic but as you advance in skills that it requires it becomes more advanced. Photoshop is very similar, but to me feels less like I’m doing art and more feels like I’m simply altering images by changing their color, size, and perspective. Towards the end of the unit, we did a double exposure project where the class was tasked with combining two images to convey a double meaning. This was definitely the first step towards using the application more creatively, but unfortunately, we did not continue with the application and moved on. I feel that if I got skilled in Photoshop I would enjoy it more, but as of now, I am more interested in Illustrator, most likely because of it being easier to kick off your career of using it. Overall, I have enjoyed using both platforms very much so far this year and look forward to using them in the future as well. Includes:
