The design process
The first step of the design process are thumbnails. After getting the requirements from the client it is necessary that the designer creates thumbnails. Thumbnails are quick drawings that do not require much detail. Thumbnails are used to visually express ideas for the product. Thumbnails could be compared to the prewriting process in English. Designers are encouraged to draw as many as possible. The second step of the design process is sketching. Sketches are much more detailed drawings. They have exact layout ideas for the finished product. There are a maximum of three sketches for the client. This limits the clients options and keeps the designer from constant revisions. A sketch can be seen as a preview of the final product once it is chosen. The last step is the final product. This is where the product is being created or is already created for the client. Now the product officially belongs to the client. It is also recommended that the client gets their product copyrighted for their products protection.

Vectors
Vectors are images that can be created in Adobe Illustrator with the pen tool. Vectors are very useful because they can be resized to any scale and still be clear and legible. Photoshopped images can not be enlarged or resized. If the files are resized then it will be the opposite of the vector's properties. It will be blurry and hard to read. The ideal products to use vector images in would be books and logos. With books like magazines a vector can be placed and aligned with the text. This will create unity and flow within the magazine. The unity and flow will attract readers and make profit. Also vector images can also be text based and still be considered a image.
