Raster vs. Vector
Vector
Vector artwork is made from lines and shapes instead of pixels, so it can be resized to any size without losing quality, edited easily, and prepared for spot color printing. The most commonly known program that creates vector art is Adobe Illustrator.
Raster
Raster artwork is composed of pixels, making it unsuitable for precise editing, scalable enlargement, or separation into spot colors for print reproduction. The most commonly known program that creates raster art is Adobe Photoshop
