A wide
range of software applications support digital imaging. There are applications
for producing digital drawings, modifying digital photographic images,
working with typography, as well as page design and combining elements
into one composite image.
The graphics
produced through the use of these applications can be divided into two
primary groups or “graphic types”, object oriented (vector)
and bit-mapped (raster).
Object oriented graphics
are often used for line drawings, logos or any image that requires smooth,
crisp edges. One of the benefits of object-oriented graphics is that they
can be enlarged, reduced or distorted without loss of detail or sharpness.
Bit-mapped graphics are
usually picture or photographic type images. Bit-mapped images are made
by “mapping” the image to an imaginary grid. Color or tint is
applied to each square of the grid, producing an overall image. Bit-mapped
graphics cannot be enlarged without effecting image quality.
Digital images are printed
and then cut to your design, for indoor or outdoor use.

images can be applied to:
