What is vector art?
In the truest most pure form, vector art is art made up of points, lines and curves and represented by mathematical equations as opposed to ‘mapped pixels’ as in a raster or bitmap file. Vector art is resolution independent, meaning that it can be scaled to any size and retain its sharpness and detail at no loss in quality.
Vector illustration is most commonly done in programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, Flash, and CorelDRAW. Vectors in these programs (at the hands of skilled artists and draftsmen) can achieve a nearly photo-like quality or be beautifully abstract.
There is usually a distinct feel and appearance to common vector illustration which seems to be growing in popularity amongst many of the art communities today.
