is vector another program you use for graphic design, like photoshop?
Generally speaking, you have vector or raster art in the world of creating 2d art. A raster image would be made up of dots like what you manipulate in Photoshop or GIMP.
As the wikipedia would currently say “Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based upon mathematical equations, to represent images in computer graphics.”
In most vector programs you do not see the mathematical equations unless you get deep into the code or do art at a code level which most people do not do. What you would see is letters, shapes, lines and such that you easily move about and change.
In terms of the process of creating art, the differences are huge. To select a pre-drawn shape (like the top circle of the bottle cap) in a raster program can be very difficult and could involve using multiple techniques and tools unless that shape is on it’s own layer. In a vector program you would just click on it. CorelDraw or Inkscape are both excellent vector programs. Inkscape is free, open source and fun to use. The illustration I did has been output to jpg. Bmp, jpg, tif and gif are all raster.
I hope to show some art in Scalable Vector Graphics SVG soon which would not only be vector but also scalable.
