Raster images are made up of pixels and are dependent on resolution. When you scale these, they can become less defined. Vector graphics are made up of paths or lines that are scalable without compromising the resolution. In this session, you will learn to create vector graphics from raster images using Adobe Illustrator. These vector graphics can be used when creating ads or marketing material or even in Maker Lab projects. Bring your lunch and your laptop.  RSVP Friday, February 28 | 11:30am – 12:50pm | Innovation Foundry
