  3. Raster Graphics • Also known as “bitmap” graphics • Scalable only on reduction through “resampling” • Creates relatively large files • Useful for painting techniques • Useful for editing photographs • Appropriate for any design requiring gradation of tone and subtlety of color as found in photographs, pastel drawings, charcoal drawings Raster Graphics

  4. Raster Graphics Software • Adobe Photoshop • Corel PHOTO-PAINT • MacPaint • Macromedia Fireworks • Microsoft Photo Editor • Microsoft Windows Paint • Raster-based web animation • Adobe ImageReady Raster Graphics

  5. Raster File Formats • Proprietary formats such as • Adobe Photoshop’s “.psd” • Microsoft Windows Paint “.bmp” • Output format for print • Tagged Interface File Format “.tif” • Output formats for the web • CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format “.gif” • Joint Photographic Experts Group “.jpg” • Portable Network Graphics “.png” Raster Graphics

  6. Vector Graphics • Also known as “object-oriented” graphics • Uses Cartesian Geometry • Fully Scalable on reduction and enlargement • Creates relatively small files • Useful for drawing techniques • Most precise drawing method • Best for controlling smooth curves Vector Graphics

  7. Vector Graphics Software • Adobe Illustrator • CorelDRAW • MacDraw • Macromedia Freehand • Microsoft PhotoDraw (hybrid) • Vector-based web animation • Adobe LiveMotion • Macromedia Flash Vector Graphics

  8. Vector File Formats • Proprietary file formats such as • Adobe Illustrator’s “.ai” • CorelDRAW’s “.cdr” • Output format for print • Encapsulated Postscript “.eps” • Output format for web • Scalable Vector Graphics “.svg” • Flash “.swf” • Or, convert from vector to raster • Vector animation for the web • Macromedia Flash’s “.fla” Vector Graphics

  9. Word Processing • Create new and lengthy documents here when features are more robust than page layout software • Export word processing documents created for other purposes (reports, memoranda, etc.) into page layout • Retasking • Reformatting Word Processing

  10. Word Processing Software • Corel WordPerfect • Lotus AmiPro • Microsoft Word • Text Editors • NotePad in Microsoft Windows • SimpleText on Mac • WordPad in Microsoft Windows Word Processing

  11. Word Processing File Formats • Proprietary formats such as • Corel WordPerfect’s “.wpd” • Microsoft Word’s “.doc” • Generic output formats • Rich Text Format “.rtf” • ASCII “.txt” • ASCII saved for web as “.htm” or “.html” Word Processing

  12. Page Layout • The container into which raster graphic, vector graphic, and word processing design elements are combined • Provides control over margins, columns, white space, pagination, and relative placement of design elements • Adds value through typographic tools Page Layout

  13. Page Layout Software For Print • Adobe PageMaker • Adobe InDesign • Microsoft Publisher • Quark XPress For the Web • Adobe PageMill • Adobe GoLive • Claris HomePage • Macromedia Dreamweaver • Microsoft FrontPage • Netscape Composer Page Layout

  14. Page Layout File Formats For Print • Adobe PageMaker’s “.p65” • Quark Xpress “.qxd” For the Web “.htm” or “.html” Page Layout For both Print and the Web Adobe Acrobat’s “.pdf” portable document format

  15. Pre-Press • Manages and prepares all files for the project • Identifies potential publishing problems • Provides previewing and “comp” printing features • Resolves font, color, and image problems Pre-Press

  16. Pre-Press Software • Adobe PressReady for print • Marzware’s FlightCheck for print • Products like FrontPage and Dreamweaver include web site management tools • Web pages are previewed using browsers Pre-Press

  17. Publishing • One-color printing • Spot-color printing • Process Color Printing • Web publishing via FTP – the File Transfer Protocol • WSFTP for Windows • Fetch for Macintosh • Wizards and automated tools in page layout applications like Microsoft FrontPage Publishing
