Vector vs Bitmap Images Concepts

This video tutorial, part of the Graphic Design 101 Series, explains the differences between bitmap and vector images. Bitmap images are pixel-based and include file types like JPEG and PNG, while vector images are based on mathematical equations and include file types like EPS and SVG. Bitmap images are common in photos and complex illustrations, whereas vector images are used in logos and illustrations due to their scalability. The video also discusses the conversion between these file types and the challenges involved. The tutorial aims to clear up confusion about these image types and provides additional resources for further learning.

What is the main purpose of this video lesson?

• To teach how to create vector files

• To show how to edit bitmap images

• To explain the differences between bitmap and vector files

• To provide a history of graphic design

Which of the following is NOT a common bitmap file type?

• PNG

• SVG

• BMP

• JPEG

What is a key characteristic of bitmap images?

• They are scalable to any size

• They are composed of pixels

• They are based on mathematical equations

• They are always black and white

What distinguishes vector images from bitmap images when zoomed in?

• They lose color information

• They become pixelated

• They become blurry

• They show perfect lines and curves

Which file type is commonly used for vector images?

• GIF

• TIFF

• AI

• BMP

Why are vector images often used for logos?

• They are more colorful

• They can be easily scaled and modified

• They are cheaper to produce

• They are easier to print

What happens when a vector image is saved as a JPEG file?

• It becomes uneditable

• It is converted to a bitmap image

• It loses all color information

• It remains a vector image

Which of the following is true about converting bitmap files to vector files?

• It is not possible

• It is a simple process

• It requires special software and cleanup

• It can be done with any image editor

What is a challenge when converting bitmap images to vector images?

• Ensuring smooth lines and curves

• Keeping the original file format

• Preserving the pixel data

• Maintaining the original file size

What is the main takeaway from the video lesson?

• Both image types are interchangeable

• Understanding the differences helps in choosing the right file type

• Vector images are always better for photos

• Bitmap images are superior to vector images
