Pixelated Portraits

10 A-List Vector Renderings

— September 27, 2008 — Celebs
These beautiful celebrity renditions are called vector graphics. It's amazing to see how detailed these digital depictions get.

I really don't know a whole lot about the art other than the fact mathematical equations are involved.

"Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based upon mathematical equations, to represent images in computer graphics," Wikipedia describes.

Implications - As new technologies continue to emerge, consumers are finding it much more difficult to keep up with the latest gadgets and tools. However, when corporations create products which demonstrate the possibilities of a specific tool, such as these vector portraits, consumers are much more receptive and understanding of the technology.
Trend Themes
1. Vector Graphics - Advancements in vector graphics offer a major opportunity for companies to showcase the capabilities of new technologies through creative and visually stunning digital depictions.
2. Digital Art - The rise of vector graphics has opened up new avenues for digital art, providing artists with the tools to create intricate and detailed portrayals of real-world objects and people.
3. Consumer Receptiveness - By using creative and visually stunning vector graphics, companies can help consumers better understand and appreciate the latest technologies, making them more receptive to new products and tools.
Industry Implications

2. Advertising - The rise of vector graphics offers major opportunities for the advertising industry, allowing advertisers to create eye-catching and visually stunning campaigns without needing to rely on high-cost production techniques.
3. Technology - As vector graphics continue to gain in popularity, the technology industry has an opportunity to develop optimized tools and software to make it easier for artists and designers to create intricate and detailed digital depictions.
