A Proof of Flights; The Literary Journal of Sinclair Community College

September 2, 2015

Check it out. It's Veronica on the cover of the Sinclair Community College literary journal, Flights.

It's always important to remember the difference between raster and vector, as well as, screen resolution (72 dpi) and print resolution (300 dpi).

A raster is an image made of hundreds (or thousands or millions) of pixels. When enlarging a raster file it will become blurry. Popular raster extensions include: jpg/jpeg, psd, png, tiff, bmp, and gif. 

A vector image uses math to draw shapes using points, lines and curves. So whereas a raster image of a 1” x 1” square at 300 dpi will have 300 individuals pieces of information, a vector image will only contain four points, one for each corner; the computer will use math to “connect the dots” and fill in all of the missing information. Meaning a vector image is infinitely scalable. Most common vector extensions are: eps, ai, and pdf.

Now to make it easy to understand the difference between screen resolution (72 dpi) and print resolution (300 dpi), don't ever pull an image off of a computer screen and think it will print well. You must have a high-resolution source file. If you're not sure, ask your commercial printer.
