Vector files are very versatile, and the opportunities of what you can create with them in Adobe Illustrator (or any other vector design software) is infinite. One vector can be used in multiple ways, on various projects. Seems like a no brainer right?
To make the most of vectors you need to look outside the box. If a design is not quite the correct colour, but you love the look and feel, you are able to change the colour palette.
If you’ve seen a large vector file but only a tiny part of it is needed, you can delete and move as many elements in the vector as you wish. You can even combine multiple vector files and make your design truly unique.
Scalability is another benefit and a reason why some people lean towards vectors instead of photography. You may get pixellated results if you try using a photograph on a banner the size of the Eiffel Tower. But with vectors, you can scale the artwork as large as you wish, and retain the quality.
We have over 18 million versatile graphics on Alamy to inspire your designs. Search for vectors, discover Foundation, or explore one of our topical collections to get started.
