Master Image List

Master Image List Definitions

Our master image list this semester has a lot of items that I had never before used in any of my layouts or designs. Just as a lot of things in Digital File Prep this image list taught me new and exciting facets in the design world. So here are the definitons of the image list.

Bitmap: A type of file format used to store digital images. A concept of a spatially mapped array of pixels, Raster images may be referred to as bitmaps.

Reverse: I used a reverse in my newspaper ad. This is where instead of printing your type onto the paper directly, you create a block of black and place white type inside, what happens is when printed since the paper is the color of your type is the type does not actually print, it is cut out of your black outline.

Vector Art: Vector art is used in illustrator and Indesign. It allows you to expand images without having the problem of the images becoming pix-elated in your designs.

Grayscale Raster: Black and white pixel images. I used the grayscale raster on my qr code back on the first project that we did, our notepad.

Duotone raster: Duotone Raster is an image that is similar to black and white but contains only two colors. Most commonly used on portrait images I will be using a duotone image on my final project for a couple portraits that I have.

Sihlouette Raster: A raster image that is exactly what the name says, a sihlouette. It is a pixel based image that has two images, however the front image is completely knocked out looking black creating a silhlouette.

Full Bleed Raster: Used on most of my projects it is a raster image that hits to your bleed line. I've used it full bleeds on my Direct Mailers, and on my final project.

Four Color Raster: A full color CMYK raster image, all images need to be converted to CMYK if they are going to be used in any print application as full colors.
