What is Digital Images
DIGITAL IMAGES are electronic snapshots taken of a scene or scanned from documents, such as photographs, manuscripts, printed texts, and artwork. The digital image is sampled and mapped as a grid of dots or picture elements (pixels). Each pixel is assigned a total value (black, white, shades of gray or color), which is represented in binary code (zeros and ones). The binary digits ("bits") for each pixel are stored in a sequence by a computer and often reduced to a mathematical analog version for display or printing. http://preservationtutorial.library.cornell.edu/intro/intro-01.html

Vector Graphics can include text, most modern fonts, floor plans, engineering diagrams and spreadsheet charts.
• While Bitmap Graphics format is used for still images, such as scanners, digital cameras and most web pages use Bitmap to create realistic images. The Vector Graphic SVG format is the most popular for Web-based Vector graphics. Vector Graphics also resize better than and use less storage than Bitmap Graphics, Vector Graphics are not usually as realistic as Bitmap Graphics. Each Graphic has its purpose so depending what is needed. If there is a need to scan doc, use a camera to take a photo, etc then one of the Bitmap Graphic format is used. If you want to create a spreadsheet or do floor plans then one of the Vector Graphics format is used.

We will explain 3D graphics, how it is created and what occupations at Amazon and other companies use them.

• 3-D (3- dimensional) is the creation, display and manipulation of objects in the computer in three dimensions. 3D Graphics are based on Vector graphs stored as a set of instructions describing the coordinates for lines and shapes in a 3-dimensional space. The Vectors form a wireframe, which is covered with surface texture and color to create a graphic of a 3-D object that is called rendering.
• Software such as Auto desk, AutoCAD, Open Source, etc. are needed to create 3D graphics. Each of this software, have tools for drawing a
