What is digital imaging?
Digital imaging is the creation of an image that is stored as a computer data file. The term is often assumed to imply the processing, compression, storage, printing, and display of such images.
A digital image may be acquired directly from a physical scene by a camera or similar capture device. It may also be obtained by an image scanner by capturing a photograph or something printed on paper. That being said, digital images are not always "acquired" from a source; they can be created by using specialized digital painting and design software. An image can also be computed from a geometric model or mathematical formula and visualized thourgh the process of "rendering" a 2D or 3D dataset. Generally speaking, these data can be stored in either raster or vector file formats.

About this Project
This "posterization" of Johnny Cash was created by first blocking out large areas of color in a paint program. The image was then imported and traced in a vector art program. The image was created using vector shapes so that it could be scaled up to any size without losing quality. The final image was printed on a thin canvas material (print size: 44" x 44").
