A. Vector art is mathematical points (vectors) with paths (lines) joining them together. Bitmap artwork is tiny square boxes of all different colors put next to each other to make up a full image. Vector can be scaled up and down to any size and not lose any quality, thus making it the best format for making signs. Bitmaps however, lose quality as the tiny boxes are scaled up and down.
