Graphics
Overview
Every website, poster, and presentation you see is built from images, and understanding how those images are constructed gives you the power to create, edit, and choose the right format for any task. Whether you are designing a logo that must scale to a billboard or cropping a photograph for a newsletter, the principles are the same.
In this lesson you will explore the two fundamental image types, bitmap and vector, learn how to build images from basic shapes, and practise the editing techniques that Edexcel expects you to demonstrate in the practical component of the 4IT1 course.
Objectives
- Explain features of image types: bitmap, vector
- Create images: combining basic shapes and text, rectangles, circles, lines, triangles, arrows, text boxes
- Edit images: image editing, cropping, adding captions/text, editing/deletion of unwanted aspects
