I received such kind feedback about my "Graphic Design for Scientists" workshop post (I will respond to you), I thought I'd share some key takeaways.

1. Raster/bitmap vs. Vector: A basic distinction every artist knows, but scientists aren't taught. #dataviz #AcademicTwitter Raster/bitmap images are PIXEL-based, whereas vector images are saved as mathematical SHAPES. Why is this important? For pixel-based images, quality is dependent on the original resolution you saved your image in. Vectors can be scaled indefinitely without any loss in quality.
