Raster and vector graphics - electronically produced images, both still and animation, photographs and infographics, raster and vector computer-generated imagery (CGI), computer graphics, digital graphic art.

Digital graphical images, created using electronic technology:

  1. Raster images, or bitmaps, are digital images created or captured as a set of samples of a given space. Raster images are made of pixels - single points or the smallest single element in a display device. They are stored in files like .jpg, .png, .gif.
    1. Photographs - pictures made using a camera, captured and modified reality presented in raster images, photos and snapshots.
      Digital photography is the science, art and skill of creating images by recording light electronically.
    2. Stills - static images,  electronic productions and infographics.
    3. Animation - kinetic electronic images.
      Animation is illusion of motion and change made by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other.
  2. Vector images, scalable graphics: vector-based images that are not made up of lines rather than a series of dots, they can be rotated or scaled to a larger size and preserve image quality. They are stored in files like.svg.
