The first rule is: Understand how line drawings, screen shots, and
photos are different, and don't use the same rule of thumb for all
three.

Well, if terms like vector, raster, and bitmap aren't all that clear to
you, you might start at Wikipedia (it ain't Brittanica, but is usually
pretty useful for stuff like this). Here are some links: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphics_tutorials 

Others might have additional/better resources -- I'm so old, I learned
most of what I know before I was on the Web. ;-)
