Vector Self-Portrait

Our assignment is about making a raster image to a vector image.

Original Image

Raster

A bunch of pixels that make an image.  Just Like the image above.

Process Part One
We first took a picture of ourselves and opened it in Photoshop. From there increased the saturation and contrast of the picture. Saved the file and opened it in Adobe Illustrator.

Vector

A shape or object created using vector points.

Process Part Two
After opening the image in Illustrator (save file as to not lose data later on) we go to Image trace (vectorize). By doing this we are converting pixels to points that make shapes.
