Question 1

What are vector graphics?

Accepted Answer

Vector graphics are works of art that use mathematical equations to create a design. They are made up of points, lines, and curves on a grid. When a vector image is scaled, it retains its original resolution so there is no loss of quality. This makes it an excellent design option for anyone seeking to put the same logo on a website, business card, ballpoint pen, or any other surface or screen. Raster graphics, on the other hand, are made up of colored, solid square pixels. These raster graphics come with a set number of points, which means they cannot be resized without becoming grainy and pixelated. Vector graphics are thus far easier to use if your intention is to scale your design to various sizes.

Question 3

What are vector graphics used for?

Accepted Answer

Vector graphics were initially used back in the 1960s and ’70s in computer displays. In the 1980s they were used in arcade games such as Asteroids. These days, vector graphics are used when a given image will need to be scaled. This makes them ideal for companies that want to use the same graphic across a number of mediums, from business cards to website logos, flyers to banners. Because our technological world involves many screens of dramatically different sizes, such as a smartphone screen and an IMAX screen, vector graphics have become an essential tool in modern design. These days, typography is usually created using vectors. 3D models and the computer graphics (CG) used in action and science fiction films also rely heavily on vectors.

Question 4

How do you vector a logo?

Accepted Answer

If you intend to use a logo across a variety of marketing materials, from a business card to a website, sticker to flyer, then a vector logo is essential. To vector a logo, you will first need a logo design. You can either design a logo yourself or choose from one of Shutterstock’s millions of ready-to-go vector logo designs. If you are going with the first option, then you will need to use an image editing program. This requires a specific skillset, so you may want to opt for a professional designer, but be aware, a designer’s services do not come cheap. Regardless of what design method you choose, you will ultimately need to download the vector to your computer. Popular formats for vectors include PDF and SVG.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Shutterstock’s high-powered search engine makes it easy to find professional-looking vector graphics in no time at all. To get a wide view of the available options, simply type “vector” into the search bar. If the tens of millions of results are a bit overwhelming, you can easily narrow your search by utilizing the filter options. Add keywords such as “camouflage vector graphics” or “car vector” to the search bar. If you want a vector that will match your website’s color palette, select the main color you want featured in your image from the “Color” section. Want a flower vector that features women? Add “flower” to the search bar, and then select the “With people” option from the “People” section and “Female” from the “Gender” section. Play around with the other filter options such as “Age,” “Ethnicity,” and “Number of People,” to further hone in on the exact sort of vector you would like to use.
