How to Make a Design in a Vector Format
Vector images are used in graphic designs and stored as mathematical expressions, instead of pixels of graphics, colors or mapped dots that most image formats use. This means that vector images are commonly used in logos and polygonal shapes because they can be blown up to large sizes without sacrificing image quality. Use an image-editing program, such as Adobe Photoshop, to produce images in vector format.
