Raster to Vector Redrawing

This project demonstrates the process of converting a low-quality raster image into a clean and production-ready vector graphic.

The original artwork provided by the client was a low-resolution bitmap, with visible pixelation and insufficient detail for printing or manufacturing.

To make the design suitable for production, the image was carefully reconstructed in vector format. Each element was manually redrawn to achieve precise contours, smooth curves, and clearly defined shapes.

The process includes several stages: starting from the original bitmap, rebuilding the image in clean vector lines, and finalizing it with solid fills for production use.

The resulting graphic is fully scalable and optimized for applications such as plotter cutting, textile transfer, and other manufacturing processes, where accuracy and clean geometry are essential.

As you can see, the bitmap is of very low quality, with clearly visible pixels, making it unsuitable even for standard printing.

However, the task required preparing the image for plotter cutting, which is not possible with raster graphics. For this purpose, the bitmap had to be converted into vector format.

In the image below, you can see the same graphic rebuilt as clean vector line work, which is suitable for precise plotter cutting.

Clean, smooth lines and clearly defined shapes ensure a high-quality and production-ready result.
