What is Vector Design? It is a creation, a
compilation of many different objects to make
your very own masterpiece via the computer.
Vector design is key if you want your graphic /
print to be crisp and clear since all of the design
is made from series of mathematical curves!
So if you enlarge a small vector design graphic,
it won’t look blurry or pixelated but instead, it
keeps the clear, crispiness of the smaller image.
Adobe Illustrator program have incorporated
many useful tools that will help you make your
work photorealistic! Learn to use those tools to
their full potential to make amazing designs.
