software is best

BY ZAIN AHMED KAMAL

In this blog we will discuss about the types of graphic designing software, different software used in graphic designing industry and which is better from the other in which way.

Before we proceed, let us first understand what graphic designing software is or what graphic design software is used for? In simple words graphic designing software helps in making logo, brochure, catalogue, hoarding and anything related to graphic. These software are installed on a desktop or a laptop.

Types of graphic
designing software

There are two of types of graphic design software, vector based software and pixel even known as raster based software.

Graphic Design Software Vector: Vector software is made with the concept of mathematical statements that place lines and shapes in a given two dimensional or three dimensional space. In simple words a shape, symbol or art made in vector based software doesn’t lose its quality is the size is increased. Anything made in vector based software can be increased in size to any dimension without getting pixilated.

Graphic Design Software Raster or Pixel: A raster or pixel based software is made with the concept of editing created or captured images. A raster is a grid of x and y coordinates on a screen. These images will get pixilated on the increase of their dimension ( length or breadth ).

It is also very important to understand that this vector feature doesn’t make the software better or superior to other software. Both serves different purpose and both are equally important in this field. It all depends on the requirement of the design, sometimes vector based software is preferred for certain types of design work and sometimes raster based software. One should be well versed with both the types.
