This week in class we worked with Illustrator to create a logo for a company. Most graphic designers design and create logos for clients on Illustrator. I came up with the question, why? I know Illustrator and Photoshop have their differences in the way stuff is created but why do designers prefer making a logo in Illustrator rather Photoshop.
To answer my question I searched the following; why do designers use Illustrator rather Photoshop for making logos. Here is some of the answers I found, Illustrator gives you more of a controllable ability. In Illustrator you use mathematical points and solutions to create paths and strokes. So for example you want to change how long a stroke or line is on a part of your logo you don't have to guess for where want the part of your logo to be smaller at. You do math to get you the exact length you want off and this helps in the long production stage to make things a little less harder. Second reason I found was that you loss quality when resizing stuff in Photoshop but in Illustrator your quality of your design stays the same when you resize it .The last reason and the one I think gives me the best answer is, Photoshop should be used for photo manipulation and editing things already made. Illustrator is used for making and creating from scratch. In conclusion;

You take a look a video game, graphic design. These examples are Bitmaps. Bitmap Graphics, are 2D digital images created using a grid of pixels. The types of pixels that can be used when creating bitmap are aliasing & anti-aliasing. Aliasing, are jagged stair-stepped edges. Anti-aliasing, is method of reducing pixilation by fading fading pixel colors on the edges. These bitmaps are usually made in programs like GIMP, Adobe Photoshop. Things made by bit-mapping are things such as, photography, digital painting, videos games & graphic design. Now, I know there are other variations of creating stuff like bitmaps. So I research differences between bitmap & vectors. First a vectors are create using mathematical formulas. Brand logos and team logos are created using vectors. Now some differences. Vectors can be scaled without losing quality, where as you scale a photograph of a dog which is a bitmap, it loses quality. Now vectors use something called, Beizur curves to form the output drawing, where as bitmaps contain matrix of dots to form a picture. You also have a big difference in the way the file is saved. Bitmaps are saved in types such as, GIF, JPG, EPS. Then vectors are saved as, AI, PNG, or PDF. There is also one last difference, the software used to create them. You would use things like Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw for vectors. Then you would use Adobe Photoshop & GIMP. In conclusion;
