About Adobe Illustrator

Illustrator is a vector drawing program. It is often used to draw illustrations, cartoons, diagrams, charts and logos. Unlike bitmap images that stores information in a grid of dots, Illustrator uses mathematical equations to draw out the shapes. This makes vector graphics scalable without the loss of resolution.

Advantages of Vector Graphics

Scalable without resolution loss
Lines are crisp and sharp at any sizes
Print at high resolution
Smaller file size
Good for drawing illustrations

Disadvantages of vector graphics

Drawings tend to look flat and cartoon
Hard to produce photo realistic drawings

Common Uses for Illustrator

1) Designing Logos

2) Drawing Maps

3) Drawing Illustrations

4) Infographics

5) Photorealistic Drawings

6) Packaging Design

This are just a few examples of what Illustrator can do. If you have experience with Photoshop, you can bring your illustrations into Photoshop and enchance it. That’s how professional does it. During the next few days, I will be covering the basics of Illustrator so that you can produce your first vector art!
