Hey guys, hope all is well!

After a long night with a client, I had an idea to write an article about the differences between the two most popular graphics formats, vector and bitmap.

I'm sure you've wondered once or twice about them, now you can bookmark a definitive source for them, or at least have something to reference with your clients.

Thanks for reading, what do you guys think?

Nice article.

Just to let you know on the bottom of your site the footer does not go all the way to the right when i view your site with a 800 x 600 screen resolution.

Great information for new people who aren't knowledgeable about .bmp or vector, however the tweets sign, far left, is distracting and annoying when trying to read the text.

In a simple way difference between a vector and bitmap graphics is that vector is a format of a drawing whereas bitmap is a format of a photo. The advantages of a vector is that the drawing can be stretched to any size without ruining the quality and bitmap is faster to display .Bitmap graphics as being stored in a literal fashion, then Vector Graphics, stored representative are their opposites. Have a nice day ahead.

if you want a vector to look like a bitmap then a bitmap would be smaller, but usually vectors are used for simple designs, and for that they would be smaller then a bitmap. Also vectors are better for any games, that use rescaling of the graphics...

Also Vectors don't do gradients well, or is it just me?
