ntroduction
Adobe Illustrator is a graphic editing program well-suited to creating graphics from scratch. It is significantly different from many other graphics programs because it deals primarily with vector graphics. Most people are more familiar with bitmap (raster) graphics, such as what PhotoShop produces.
Bitmap graphics: saved using a grid full of tiny squares called pixels. Bitmap images are good for continuous and/or irregular shadings and colors (such as in photographs), but do not resize well.

Vector graphics:

saved using points and lines (vectors) to describe shapes and objects. The resulting file is made up of lines and patches of color. Generally much smaller files than bitmap graphics. When vector images are resized, there is no loss of quality.

When to Use Illustrator Intricately decorated eggs are traditional parts ofEaster celebrations in many parts of Eastern Europe.Pysanky are the style common in the Ukraine.A pysanka is created using a wax-resist technique.Patterns are drawn on the white egg with wax.Then the egg is dipped in a light-colored dye(typically yellow or orange), taken out, and dried.Then patterns are drawn on the yellow egg with wax.The egg is dipped into progressively darker and darkercolors of dye, and at each step, the parts of the eggthat should remain lighter-colored, are covered with wax.After the final color of dye (usually brown or black),the egg is held in a candle flame, and all the layers of are melted. The brilliant colors and complex patternscovered by the wax are revealed!The word “pysanka” (singular) or “pysanky” (plural)comes from the verb pysaty “to write”. Thus, pysankyare eggs that have been “written” on with wax!PysankyTry out some pysanky designs of your own!
