Vector/Raster Logos

 Introduction

       In this project we were given copies of the following image logos that were in the worst quality and we were told to fix the quality of the image and try out best to get it back to look like the original logo. We also had to change the image from a raster image to a vector image. In other words get rid of the pixels.

Steps to get Vector image

Step 1:    Open the image in Adobe Illustrator

Step 2:    Resize the image to fit the page by holding down the shift key and dragging the corner of the image to make it larger. Be careful not to let go of the shift key before letting go of the mouse because that will cause your rounded images to look more like an egg.

Step 3:    Select a type of tracing by clicking image trace. If you are unsure on which type of tracing to use just test one to see what happens.

Step 4:    Once you have found the best tracing, SAVE you image.

What was done

       In the each of the logos the tracing used was High Fidelity Photo; fixing the image to look as close to the original as possible.

Difficulties 

       Given little information on our handout, we had to figure out how and learn on our own showing us that when we get to a job we will not be told what to do or how to do it if we do not understand a hand out given to us by a client.

Rasterize

To change the image back to a pixel image in Adobe Illustrator select Object on the menu bar and about half way down the list it will say rasterize. Clicking that will change your image back to a pixel image.

Delivery

The best delivery for each image is GIF because within GIF you can select the amount of colors being viewed in the logo. For example the Batman logo seems as if it only has 3 colors, the white background, the black lining and the yellow backdrop. Actually it contains 16 colors to smooth out the edges of the image so it does not look pixelated.
