RGB stands for "Red, Green, Blue" and refers to the three colors of light that mix together to form any color. TVs and computer monitors use RGB to create the images you see on the screen.
A raster image is a way to represent photos or illustrations as digital images. If a raster image is enlarged too much, it will appear to be jagged, fuzzy or low quality. Vectors use points, lines, curves, and shapes to represent images in computer graphics. Vector graphics can be enlarged without a loss in image quality.
use it in real life: Lets say you have a logo thats a vector file and a photo image thats a raster file. Now lets say you want them to be used in a print ad. Based upon its resolution, the photo can only be enlarged so much and then it will loose its image quality...
The quality of an image and how well it reproduces. In printing, it refers to the number of Dots Per Inch (DPI) printed on a page. Generally, the more dots per inch, the better quality the image. In websites, it refers to Pixels Per Inch (PPI) on the screen.
use it in real life: Designers working in print are always wanting "hi-res" or high resolution image files because printing requires resolution or more dots per inch (DPI) to make it appear sharp and in focus than an on-screen image. Printing requires 300 DPI vs 72 PPI or Pixels per inch for monitors, TVs or other screens.

Recently we had the pleasure of working on a small Drupal site for a great client: It’s Worth a Shot Photography of Tampa. IWAS had a minimal budget to work with, but we were committed to finding creative ways to include all of the features IWAS wanted to incorporate into their website for a price they could afford.
Our client’s first requirement was of course, showcasing their bread and butter - photos - hence the prominent slideshows on the home page and several secondary pages. IWAS has not had experience with content management systems in the past and wanted an easy way to show...
When I started at DFM nearly two years ago, I thought I knew what my position was about. I assumed based on my past experience, that I would go into the community and help market DFM and be in charge of all sales inquires.

The great thing about DFM and its relationship with their employees is that we are allowed to figure out what we want to do in our constantly changing environment. While all of our team members have the understanding that we must work together to complete the needed task on a...
Roughly six months ago, I had reached the point that most millenials know well at a job: I felt unappreciated, undervalued, and tired of the monotony of a cyclical, conventional job. I was in marketing, which sounds fun in theory. Marketing has branded itself (see what I did there?) to be this exciting, creative field.

Thankfully, my friends at Digital Frontiers Media were expanding and offered me my current position in web...

The highly anticipated Google Glasses are about a year away from regular distribution. There is no doubt the $1500 price tag may send people away, but with the buzz currently all over the internet it seems that this could be a bigger success than analysts might have thought. Google Glasses, also known as “Glass,” sent out beta version of the glasses to some select developers and users to start testing.
