Illustrator

   Illustrator was useful and I can see why a lot of companies use it.   It had more applications then ROME and I was able to do a lot more on it.  It was kind of hard just because we had to practice a bit more since there were so many things we could do.  I think I like Illustrator more just because it has more applications for different uses.  It is hard to work in but not if you practice a lot.
   Illustrator is a software that can create many things.  A lot of companies use it to make logo's, characters and other things.  In Illustrator you can create shapes with color, depth and color changes.  It is great for making maps, characters, graphs and much more.  I made a map using illustrator and in my oppinion it turned out much better than the original.

VECTORS vs. BITMAPS

Vectors use math no matter how big or small you make them they will never become fuzzy or pixelated.  A picture in vectors uses an equation, this makes them always perfect but makes them load longer. If we did everything in vectors it would take an hour to load a webpage.
Bitmaps use pixels.  Each pixel it assigned a color and value and they all make up the picture.  To make a bitmap picture bigger you increase the number or size of the pixels.  They are easier to load but can come out blurry.
