Confuddled by some of the things people say about GFX?

Well look below:



  • Render - A picture with no background, or a single colour background.

  • Stock - A picture often with real life subjects used as part of a sig

  • C4D - Technically an abstract 3D shape created in the program Cinema4D but can refer to any abstract or 3D image

  • Vector - A simple cartoon style image that has a clean edged style where no pixelation occurs when resizing

  • Raster - The opposite of vector

  • BG - Abbreviation for background

  • Monochrome - A picture coloured in greyscale or black&white

  • Duotone - A picture coloured in only 2 colours

  • Feathering - Adding a fading efect or smoothing effect when cutting or
    blending

  • Gradient - A smooth transition of one or more colours to another

  • Res - In the case of "Lo-Res" or "Hi-Res" refers to the quality of resolution of the image

  • CnC or C&C or C and C - Comments/Compliments and Criticism when on a sig.

  • HDD - Hand Drawn Doll



Any more? Post below!

seeing as it's a sticky, you can't bump, so....

Layer: a part of the graphic that can be edited without the rest of the graphic being affected, usually raised above the rest of it.
