Intro to Adobe Illustrator Vector Concepts
The document provides an overview of vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator, including: 1) It discusses the differences between raster and vector images, and how vectors use mathematical equations and Bézier curves to allow images to be scaled indefinitely without quality loss. 2) The document covers basic Illustrator tools like the pen tool for drawing paths and shapes, and how paths are constructed using anchor points and Bézier curves. 3) Examples are provided for student exercises on tracing an object and drawing simple objects from scratch to practice basic vector skills.

Bézier curves are used to model smooth arcs that can be scaled indefinitely & “losslessly.” "Paths" link the curves you draw with a pen tool. Paths are not subject to the pixelation of rasterized images. (Bézier curves are also used in animation to control motion.) QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture.

The pen tool, a bizarre yet valuable tool, places anchor points to define a “path.” Paths define “objects.” While it takes time to master this tool, it is worth every minute. The shapes you end up with in vector are economical, clean, perfect, and precise. Pen Tool QuickTime™ and adecompressorare needed to see this picture.
