Vector graphics:

Vector graphics consist of anchored dots and are connected by lines and curves. Due to the graphics are not based on pixels, they are known as resolution-independent, which makes them infinitely scalable. Their lines are sharp, it would not have any loss in quality, regardless of the size. The graphics are device-independent at which their quality does not depend on the number of pixels on a screen.

The scalability of the vector makes it ideal for designing a work at which consists of logos and icons. Both logos and icons require vast details and many size options, it is usually depending on the application

 

Raster images:

Raster images are made of pixels, tiny dots that use colour and tone to produce the image. Pixels will look like tiny squares when the image is zoomed in or enlarged. For each image, it can only contain a fixed number of pixels and the amount of it determines the quality of the image, also known as resolution. More pixels will result in better quality.

Raster images are used in photography and digital applications. When a picture is taken either from a phone or a camera, the image is registered as pixel data, and when the images are uploaded online, it will result in a raster image.

Art Style used for Digital Graphics Computer Games

  Photorealism: Photorealism in video games implies that the character and scenery are thought to imitate real life in visuals as accurately as possible. Most photorealistic video games use a gritty aesthetic of which the style is being used in numerous war-related video games, for instance, the Call of Duty franchise. Given that the game shares the same goal that resembles real life as closely as possible. Cel Shading: Cel shading is a style of rendering the 3D computer graphics look three dimensional by creating flat colours on top of the base colour, making the object look three dimensional while keeping the effect of looking 2D. The legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is probably one of the most well-known examples of its series using cel-shading technique, and it did so in an outstanding way. Despite the video game was released in early 2000, it does not appear to have aged as compared to other titles by reason of their distinctive art style. Exaggeration: An exaggeration is the...
