Week 6:Clear/Multimedia Images

This week in class we learned about Multimedia-images, audio, and videos. I found learning about multimedia image types the most interesting and helpful out of the three. We learned about two different image types: rastor and vector. Rastor graphics are an array of colored dots or squares in a grid used to create the image while vector graphics are geometric objects, points, lines, etc. that can be expressed by a mathematical equation. To get a more in depth explanation of the difference that I used click here. 

Vector graphics give a better quality when adjusting the image and sizing up. With rastor graphics, you don't want to size up because of pixelation. We also learned about the different image file formats, such as BMP, GIF(which provides no loss of color), JPG (what the eye focuses on), and PNG. 

This topic is important in the business world because in order to create presentations and for certain products you will need to know how to create images in the most efficient way for your company. Skills with software like Adobe Photoshop and Apple Aperture will be very useful in the business world when it comes to employment. It is also important to know about multimedia images when working with digital cameras and scanners. I really had no knowledge about image types until this week during class, but was able to understand the information easily.
