1. What
is
the
difference
between
pixel-‐oriented
and
vector-‐
based
graphics?
Pixel-‐oriented
graphics
create
an
image
with
individual
blocks
of
color
called
pixels.
When
combined,
a
group
of
pixels
can
make
up
an
image.
Each
pixel
can
be
edited
individually.
Pixel-‐based
graphics
offer
limited
scalability
and
usually
require
large
amounts
of
memory
for
storage.
Pixel
graphics
are
used
in
computer
games,
video
games,
mobile
phone
graphics,
and
composite
graphic
imagery
for
printed
materials.

2. Vector-‐based
graphics
are
made
up
of
mathemaCcally
defined
elements
that
are
easily
scalable.
Vector-‐based
files
require
less
computer
memory
compared
with
pixel-‐based
files.
Vector
graphics
are
used
for
items
that
need
to
be
used
in
a
variety
of
sizes,
such
as
a
logo
or
package
template.
