300 - editorial when you read a magazine it is the perfect resolution to not see the pixels
photoshop- bitmap/pixels
If you want to make it bigger it can severely alter the quality.
illustrator - vectors
Based on maths
optical mixing - seperate things (e.g. colours) as they get thinner they merge together creates a new (e.g. hue).
Chuck Close as an artist creates work like this, from far away it is a more complete image, up close you can see circles of colours in squares.
You can reduce resolution if the image is bigger - you have to stand far away to see the entire image anyway.
Vectors can be useful when lazer cutting or vinyl cutter/plotter reads vector artwork and will translate it to material. It will cut the design into the vinyl which you then peel off and can use as a sticker (for example a vans logo). Or you could put a pen in the vinyl and roll material so that you can produce banners etc.
quality and not having to worry about resolution. (Vector)
paths/lines
dots- lines - shapes are anchor points and paths in vector graphics
It is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves and shapes or polygons based on mathematical expressions.
cmd and + will zoom you in

select point - white arrow - direct selection tool
select the whole - black arrow- selection tool
shift key hold and drag (once selected) blue box corners. If you hold the shift key while you rotate it will stick to 180 degree angles.
hover over points and you get x and y axis
solid blue if selected - now you can move it.
smart guides - the pop up green lines- you can turn them off and on by the view menu
bottom of tool bar - stroke and fill
