Vector Art Revolution

As you certainly know, vector art and digital illustration are a big trend within the graphic design world. We see vector artworks everywhere: from fashion illustrations, motion graphics, print media to web design…

Vector art is hip and everywhere. That's official. Where once illustration was graphic design’s lesser-known cousin it has now re-emerged having been rejuvenated, reworked and rethought.

The ever-growing success of vector art has not occurred overnight. For years now a group of talented illustrators all-over the world have been spearheading the vector art movement by producing great work that simply could not been neglected by design trendsetters and media.

Vector graphics also offer plenty of technical advantages. The vector technique allows the preservation of quality within an image. These graphics at times offer superior quality over the traditional (raster) image formats, such as bitmap. This means that if you were to view a bitmap and vector image next to each other, you’ll be able to see when you zoom in that the bitmap image will suffer from pixelation while the vector graphic’s quality has remained intact.

Today, vector art is the weapon of choice for a new generation of illustrators. Believe us: vector illustration is taking no prisoners… Here you can see some amazing examples of vector art. Enjoy!
