Vector

In graphic design, a vector refers to a type of graphic that is created using mathematical equations to define geometric shapes such as points, lines, curves, and polygons. Unlike raster graphics (which are made up of pixels), vector graphics are resolution-independent, meaning they can be scaled up or down infinitely without losing quality.

Vector graphics are commonly used for:

• Logos
• Icons
• Illustrations
• Typography
• Technical drawings

Common vector file formats include:

• .AI (Adobe Illustrator)
• .SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
• .EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
• .PDF (when saved with vector data)

Vector graphics are typically created and edited using software like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Inkscape.
