Creating Vector Graphics (Completed version)

This task was about showing the difference between a bitmap graphic and a vector graphic. Bitmap files are created entirely of pixels, where as vector files are created with paths, which make up the curves angles of the image, etc. This image is a zoomed out bitmap file, which looks clear.The Image to the right is the zoomed in version of the image to the left. You can tell this is a bitmap photo, as the image to the right is very pixelated; quality gets degraded the further you zoom into a bitmap image. The image below is a vector graphic image. Zoomed out, it looks identical to the bitmap imaghe above, but the biggest difference is the fact that when you zoom into a vector graphic image, the images doesn't become pixelated, but more cartoon-like, like a drawning of some sort.

This the second set of images I will be showing, and just like the last one, this is a bitmap version that isn't zoomed out, which would look identical to a vector image at this state. The second image below is a zoomed in bitmap file of the first image. Since it's a bitmap file, the image degrades in quality. The final image is a vector version of the second image; zoomed in, but the quality doesn't degrade per say, but becomes this painting/drawning-like image, which can't be degraded in quality. The reason everything isn't a vector image is because they need to typically get converted into a bitmap file, and it requires special tools and fast conversion, which isn't always available depending on the device. The other reson is probably due to the fact that vector images look more like a drawning/painting, which could be something be don't want in their imagery.
