Vector Art!

So, we're supposed to have some examples (at least 10) of vector art that we find on the web. I know what vector art is (images using shapes based on algorithms instead of a bitmap) and why it is important (much like fractals, vectors can be infinitely resized or shrunk without losing detail or becoming aliased/blocky). However, I had a hard time finding verifiable examples of things I just really liked. So, instead, I simply found examples of vectors I could verify were not just cleverly designed bitmaps. Here goes:

1) This telephone is built using vectors and is in the SVG, or scalable vector graphics, format. If you can't see the image below then it's time to upgrade your browser, kid.




2) This logo for the PostgreSQL project is also an SVG.




3) This logo is for the Linux project.




4) Vector graphics have more of a hand-drawn quality to them. This peacock is rendered as Arabic calligraphy.




5) Most people don't realize this, but animations done in Adobe Flash often use vector graphics.




6) Though this is a JPG export, this portrait was drawn using vectors. The artist is Ghiditya and the piece is called Orange Girl.



7) A character from the very rad graphic novel Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (later a pretty rad movie). The original art is by Bryan Lee O'Malley but this drawing is from mrockz.




8) Another portrait. This one, by SuperPalits, seems to use some pretty advanced techniques.




9) Vectors seem to almost have a cartoonish look to them. Almost as if they are about to start to move.




10) The artist who created this animation took original vector images and animated them with Adobe AfterEffects instead of Flash.
