 There are two types of computer art !

Vector (also called Post Script)  &   Raster (also Called Bit-map.)

Raster art is done in photographic or painting programs, digital camera's and scanners.  Bit-maps are comprised of a matrix of small squares called pixels. Resolution is the number of pixels in an inch. The resolution setting will dictate the maximum size at which the artwork can be used. The artwork can't be enlarged past the maximum size allowed by its resolution without loss of quality and visible degradation. This is used mainly for Photographs raster
Vector art is done in a drawing or art program with lines, curves and shapes. Vector art can be enlarged or reduced infinitely without loss of detail or degradation in quality. Vector art is often used for company logos, clip art, technical illustrations, and type. It can also be used for complex beautiful designs as well.vector
