Objectives • Understand the characteristics of a vector graphic and how it is stored

Objectives • Understand the characteristics of a vector graphic and how it is stored • Experiment with analogous, complementary and monochromatic colour schemes • Create and manipulate a simple group of objects to form a logo design • Understand that text characters are vector-based

Introduction to vector graphics Graphics Properties of a vector graphic • Vector images comprise

Introduction to vector graphics Graphics Properties of a vector graphic • Vector images comprise geometric shapes • The properties of each shape are recorded: • Shape type (e. g. Circle) • Radius r • Centre point (x, y) • Fill Colour x, y • Line Colour Copy this into your book/ notepad.

Introduction to vector graphics Graphics Simple vector images • Often used as Clip Art

Introduction to vector graphics Graphics Simple vector images • Often used as Clip Art • Used in Power. Point and other applications • SVG, PDF & EPS are all typical file formats for vector graphics.

Introduction to vector graphics Graphics Features of a vector graphic • Vector graphics consist

Introduction to vector graphics Graphics Features of a vector graphic • Vector graphics consist of shapes called objects • You can edit each object separately to change the shape, colour, size and position • Recording the properties of vector shapes doesn’t take up much memory. This usually makes the file size of a vector graphic very small • Vector graphics are scalable – you can change their size without any loss of quality Copy this into your book/ notepad.

Introduction to vector graphics Graphics Task 2 - Create a logo Using some of the techniques you see here and throughout the presentation, design a new logo for Ashlawn School. You can draw by hand, using Google Drawings or Paint. Think about: • Geometric logos • Gradients, fills, shapes • Grouping objects • Try resizing and editing with the use of different colours
