What are Vector Graphics?

Vector graphics is the creation of digital images through a sequence of commands or mathematical statements that place lines and shapes in a given two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. In physics, a vector is a representation of both a quantity and a direction at the same time. In vector graphics, the file that results from a graphic artist's work is created and saved as a sequence of vector statements. For example, instead of containing a bit in the file for each bit of a line drawing, a vector graphic file describes a series of points to be connected. One result is a much smaller file. At some point, a vector image is converted into a raster graphics image, which maps bits directly to a display space (and is sometimes called a bitmap). The vector image can be converted to a raster image file prior to its display so that it can be ported between systems.

A vector file is sometimes called a geometric file. Most images created with tools such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw are in the form of vector image files. Vector image files are easier to modify than raster image files (which can, however, sometimes be reconverted to vector files for further refinement).

What is a Bit Map?

Bit-mapped graphics are often referred to as raster graphics. The other method for representing images is known as vector graphics or object-oriented graphics. With vector graphics, images are represented as mathematical formulas that define all the shapes in the image. Vector graphics are more flexible than bit-mapped graphics because they look the same even when you scale them to different sizes. In contrast, bit-mapped graphics become ragged when you shrink or enlarge them.

Fonts represented with vector graphics are called scalable fonts , outline fonts , or vector fonts. The best-known example of a vector font system is PostScript. Bit-mapped fonts, also called raster fonts, must be designed for a specific device and a specific size and resolution.
A representation, consisting of rows and columns of dots, of a graphics image in computer memory. The value of each dot (whether it is filled in or not) is stored in one or more bits of data. For simple monochrome images, one bit is sufficient to represent each dot, but for colors and shades of gray, each dot requires more than one bit of data. The more bits used to represent a dot, the more colors and shades of gray that can be represented. The density of the dots, known as the resolution, determines how sharply the image is represented. This is often expressed in dots per inch (dpi ) or simply by the number of rows and columns, such as 640 by 480.

Chip Foose Inspired

Inspired by Foose! We're inspired by his words. "Design without getting caught." Design and change without people noticing what the changes are.



Foose's legendary legacy of designs and accomplishments began at the age of seven when Chip began helping out his father's, Sam Foose a hot rod legend as well, at his project design firm. By age 12, he had painted his first car, a Porsche 356. A chance meeting with famed Tucker designer Alex Tremulus inspired Chip to attend the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, from which he graduated with honors in 1990.

In 1986 Chip worked as Staff Designer/Fabricator for Asha Corporation in Santa Barbara, CA., where he was named Director of Design in 1989. He was responsible for conceptualizing new designs and fabricating prototypes for a number of OEMs. Foose also worked at Stehrenberger Design as an automotive designer, creating color illustrations and conceptual models, and at Baker Sportronics, as chief designer and fabricator of models and prototypes of electric vehicles used by the NFL and NBL.

During the course of his work with his father at Project Design, Chip was instrumental in designing and building signature street rods, customs, studio vehicles and show cars for such films as Blade Runner, Robo Cop and Gone in 60 Seconds.
In November 1990, Chip began his association with designer Boyd Coddington at Hot Rods by Boyd, where he became a full-time employee in 1993, then Managing Director and finally the company's president. During his tenure at Hot Rod by Boyd, Chip was responsible for many internationally known vehicles including Roadster, Sportstar, the Boydster I and II and Boyd Air. In 1998, Chip left to form Foose Design with his wife, Lynne.
Chip's career includes numerous industry honors including being the youngest member ever inducted into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame (at age 33) in 1997 and the first recipient of the Goodguys Trendsetter Award in 1998. The following year Chip won the prestigious "America's Most Beautiful Roadster" (AMBR) award with his design for Fred Warner's "Shock Wave," followed in 2000 by another win with Chuck Svato's "0032." To date, Chip has been involved with six AMBR-winning vehicles.

Chip Foose currently serves as the creative head and driving force behind Foose Design, the widely respected automotive and product development company headquartered in Huntington Beach, Calif., that specializes in illustration, graphics, ideation model making, surfacing and the complete construction of automobiles and automobile-related products. Today, Foose Design products and creative services are available to private individuals, television and film companies and automotive manufacturers.
