I Hate Artists - Vector Art Gallery.
This is the vector art section of I Hate Artists.
Vector graphics are different from bitmap graphics in that they can be scaled indefinitely. They are made out of mathematical equations which represent basic geometrical shapes, such as polygons, curves, points, lines, circles, squares, and more.
A vector file, when saved, saves the instructions to recreate the image. Whereas a bitmap saves the pixels of the image. Thus a 200"x200" bitmap will easily be a large file (likely over 30MB) a vector of the same size could be under 5MB.
Because of this, vector files are used a lot in printing. Since vectors can be scaled indefinitely, I can send a printer a logo that is 3"x3" and they print it, without a loss of quality at all, at 300"x300".
There are 2 major players in the vector graphics game: Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw. Both operate virtually the same, using the pen tool and the "convert anchor point to curve" tool as the corner stone of all vector graphics.
I don't have a ton of vector art in my personal life, however I use it a lot for work. Most of my art work was created when I was in college and took a required class that was on vector graphics.
Simply click on a thumbnail to see the full version of each picture. Most of my art is designed for my screen resolution (1600x1200) so you may have to save it to your computer to fully enjoy it.
