g. Television Resolution. Resolution is the ability a system has to
reproduce fine lines. Video engineers assign a resolution number to a
system by noting the maximum ability of the monitor to distinguish
between the line of a resolution target (figure 2-19).
As an
illustrator, you should know the resolution of the system that the
graphics you prepare will be shown. You must always visualize how the
system presents the graphics you prepared. Additionally, you must keep
the resolution rating in mind when deciding how much detail to present in
a graphic for television.
When preparing graphics for television,
remember these words to help overcome resolution problems: big, bold, and
simple.

different types of graphics. Some of the prominent types of graphics are
