In this project, I focused on understanding the differences between Vector and Raster graphics, learning how each is used in design workflows. To practice vector graphics, I selected Inkscape, a free and powerful vector design software. I learned how to install and navigate Inkscape, following tutorials to master its essential tools and techniques. This hands-on experience helped me create my first vector design, applying the skills I developed throughout the process.
Work Process Detail
Vector vs Raster Graphics:
First i have started by understanding the deference between Vector and Raster, and the following video was super helpful
Hold CTRL + SHIFT to resize while keeping it centered.
Duplicate the ellipse by right-clicking → Duplicate (instead of CTRL+C, CTRL+V).
This keeps the new shape aligned to the center of the original.
Resize the duplicate to be slightly larger or smaller as needed.
Change the color of each shape using the Fill & Stroke panel.
Add a rectangle (for text or symbols) and place it in the center using the Align Tool.
Use the Shape Builder Tool to merge all elements into a single shape.
Group the design (right-click → Group) to keep everything together.
Repeat the process for additional signs, including my final project logo.

Learning Outcome
By completing this project, I gained valuable skills in vector graphic design using Inkscape, learning how to create scalable, precise, and high-quality designs suitable for various applications. These skills will be particularly valuable when I design the mission patch for my final project, allowing me to produce a professional, high-quality emblem that effectively represents my work.
