Bitmap
|
A bitmap graphic is made up of lots of tiny parts, called pixels. These are often many different colors. Any pixel can be modified. A bitmap has a lower resolution than as vector. Vector images cannot be seen by browsers therefore a bitmap image is used.

Vector
|
Vector graphics are created in graphics packages and use objects. Vectors are made up of lines and dots mostly and this makes up an image of a higher resolution in comparison to bitmap images. The image would have to be enlarged a lot, and if the image was a bitmap then when enlarged it would become distorted, therefore a vector graphic is used because despite the image being enlarged it is still clearly visible.

Bitmap & Vector
|
A brochure would have both graphic types because the heading or logo for example could be a vector and the writing would be used as a bitmap image. The image would not be very large considering it is on a brochure, therefore a bitmap image would be fine. The logo should be more clearer, therefore a vector image can be used.
