For those of you who create logos, refine type, and enjoy drawing, the two most common drawing programs are Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand (shown in Figure 1-16). Vector-based images differ from bitmap graphics in that they contain the mathematical information necessary to allow them to be scaled without loss of quality | 20 Part I Tools Planning and Content Figure 1-14 Fireworks is extremely popular for bitmap production.

Secret 9 Vector Image Programs For those of you who create logos refine type and enjoy drawing the two most common drawing programs are Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand shown in Figure 1-16 . Vector-based images differ from bitmap graphics in that they contain the mathematical information necessary to allow them to be scaled without loss of quality. They are extremely useful for creating curves and shapes. Of course you will need to rasterize your final work by converting it to bitmap formats such as GIF or JPEG if you re going to use your illustration on the Web but you can achieve far more complex drawing tasks in a vector-based program. Figure 1-16 Drawing geometric shapes in Macromedia Freehand. As with bitmap programs there are a few shareware and open source gems that shouldn tbe overlooked especially for those on a limited budget who have lighterweight needs for vector drawing. 22 Part I Tools Planning and Content Two such bitmap programs are Mayura Draw is a shareware vector drawing program for Windows at 39.00 per license. Used mostly by scientists and engineers for technical illustrations Mayura Draw can be an invaluable and inexpensive tool in your design toolbox see Figure 1-17 . Sketch is a freely distributed open source drawing program for Linux with a Windows port version called Skencil. Figure 1-17 Using Mayura Draw for vector-based design. Web designers and developers .
