Blue Vectors

Since starting this journal I have not only learned a lot about blogging tools and techniques (I practically started from zero), but also come to appreciate web-based graphic arts and the many possibilities and inspiration it brings to creative projects such as, yes, preparing stuff for weddings.

My recent random internet browse for possible design elements for the invitation cards, for instance has led me to vector arts.I've encountered vectors before, in my past life as a student! In GIS (Geographic Information Systems), vectors and rasters are forms by which geographic data are stored and analyzed, and represented visually as maps.Vectors are made up of points, lines, curves and shapes, while rasters are represented as pixels...and that's about everything that I could remember about it, he,he. Least to say, I never found them this exciting to look at before.

What makes vectors ideal for DIY craft-making is that the images do not degrade (i.e., blur or pixelate) when you try to magnify them; just do a search of free downloadable images and  give credit to those talented, selfless designers who willingly shared them.  

I'm envious of the guys who could do wonderful stuff such as these (all in our color theme, siempre):
