Understanding Graphics in ICT

Graphics refer to the use of visual elements like images, illustrations, and animations to communicate information. In Information and Communication Technology (ICT), graphics encompass digital images and visual designs created and manipulated using software and hardware tools. Types of graphics include raster graphics and vector graphics. Raster graphics, composed of tiny pixels, form images such as photographs. Key characteristics include pixel structure, resolution, which defines the image detail, and color depth, determining the number of colors displayed. Common raster formats include JPEG, ideal for photographs due to its lossy compression.
