Types Of Digital Graphics

Raster Images:




Raster images are mostly computer made images that, when zoomed in on, become pixelated. The raster images have a more defined colour and size compared to a vector image which is why it is most commonly used.

The reason why some people might use vector images over raster images is because it is better when it comes to scalability.
