Illustrations can be generated in different ways depending on the software:
Vector graphics use a mathematical algorithm to translate an image into different points connected using lines and curves. That makes a vector graphic image to be resized/increased without losing quality. The most famous vector format is eps
Raster graphics are made up of pixels. Once a raster image has been created, resizing it to a bigger size will cause the image to loose quality. Also, it generates really heavy file sizes making it more difficult to manage it on a computer. The most famous raster format nowadays is jpg
