Clocks & Bolts!

 Hi guys! As you may all know, on a previous post I talked about vector images and raster images. So, if you all remember correctly, vector images don't have pixels, rather, they use mathematical equations to represent images. In this post, I will show you a couple of examples of vector images I have created using the program inkscape . The Swedish flag, the EU flag and Thailand's flag. So, if you want to know how to create images like these, tune in this next couple of days to find out!

Let's say, for example.... Think you want to print out a photograph with a size of DIN A4: 210 × 297 mm maintaining a printing quality of 200 dpi. Which resolution would the image need? So, we want to print out an image of 210 x 297 mm, knowing that 1 inch=25.4mm we can start calculating our results.  >210:25.4= 8.27 (approximately) >297:25.4=11.7 (approximately) And now, we multiply it by the dpi we want. >8.27x200=1660 >11.7x200=2340 And there we have it, we would need an image with a resolution of 1660x2340 pixels. However, I know some of you still have questions like: Which resolution would the same picture need to have a 300 dpi picture? Well, it would be very simple. Knowing our image is 8.27x11.7 inches, we just have to multiply these numbers by 300 dpi instead of 200. >8.27x300=2480 >11.7x300=3510 So, for 300 dpi, our resolution should be 2480x3510. I believe both of those questions sum up everything pretty nicely, but if you still have doubts, then don

Hey there once again guys! Today I was feeling a bit on the informative, so I decided to enlighten you all with some information about digital images.  We see digital images all the time. In our phone, in our computer....anywhere. But, even if we do see it on a daily basis, do we really know what it is and how it works? To start off, we have two types of digital images, vector graphics and raster graphics. Vector graphics use geometrical primitives like lines, shapes or polygons. Made out of mathematical equations that result on an image. The good thing about this type of images sis that it isn't made of pixels, so it cannot loose its quality if you make it bigger or smaller. Raster images, on the other hand, are made of a grid of pixels or points of color, and they can be stored as different format files. However, unlike vector graphics, its features and quality depend on a series of factors. For a better understanding of what I am about to tell you, you can take a look to the cha
