8 Investigating and Answering these

Questions
2a) what is the difference between b/w VECTOR and BITMAP
images?

The difference between Vector and Bitmap is that bitmap is

made up of tiny pixels that and as you in large the picture the
picture becomes more pixelated and the picture becomes
blurry. While Vector images uses mathematical equations
rather than pixels. So no matter how big you scale it, it won’t
become pixelated. Also the vector does not take up as much
space as bitmap so it leaves more room on the computer.

c) What size were you logo:

 PNG: the size of the PNG file was 61.3KB

JPEG: the size of the JPEG file was 25.5KB

d) Why are they different sizes?

The files were different sizes because JPEG compacts the file into
one layer so that it ends up not taking as much room so it is a
smaller file. While the PNG file doesn’t compact it has many
layers so that’s why it is a bigger file.

e) Why did we send the JPEG to posterous?

We sent JPEG to posterous because it compacts down and is a

smaller file so it sends to posterous easier.
