Illustrator is too bad-ass for me. I'm a pure PS girl.

[brooklyneast05]

i think i'm the only one in the world who hates photoshop :(

[superstitious]

I have it, but it scared me.

I think Carrie uses Illustrator. Oh and Melissa maybe.

yeah see i think i hate photoshop because i'm less familiar with it. i'm the most familiar with In Design becuase that's what i've used the most. Illustrator is pretty similar in layout at least to In Design so it feels more normal. photoshop...i don't know. i guess i don't really understand how to do stuff or even what to do in photoshop.

I have it...Idk how to use it x.x;

That's probably why I've never gotten the hang of InDesign or Illustrator. Which is problem - most people who do "graphic design" on the internet nowadays only know of Photoshop. Photoshop is an image-editing software, and should be seen only as such. In reality, InDesign and Illustrator are programs that benefit from the use of Photoshop, but are the core programs needed to actually design something that is functional and effective. That is actual "design", structure and layout, not Photoshop, which could be said to handle the art aspect of everything.

The whole layout of InDesign and Illustrator are sooo foreign to me, even after a whole year of making yearbook layouts.

i use both equally. photoshop more for image editing, illustrator more for actual designing and "illustrating" (vector work).

After Corel, I pretty much work solely with Illustrator (unless all I'm doing is cropping, resizing, etc). I do a lot of illustration and vectoring, therefore Illustrator is for me. I also find Illustrator... easier to work with than Photoshop.

Aw, you remembered Yeah, I gots the Illustrator. It was a bitch to learn to use but it's awesome. The things you can do with the pen tool in Illustrator... *creams panties*

[1angel3]

I use and it and love it. It's great for making logos and stuff. It wasn't hard for me to learn, I like the pen tool in Illustrator then the one in Photoshop.

[Smarmosaur]

i have illustrator, but i'm not sure how to use it. i thought it would be sort of like photoshop but it's not. the only thing i know how to use is the 3D effect.

[Amaranthus]

I'm supposed to use both for my graphic design course but I'm mainly using Illustrator.
I think it's a lot easier than Photoshop, too.

[goth-nina]

i'm a cartoonist myself, i rarely use Illustrator. PS is my baby

[Blaqheartedstar]

I would like to get my hands on it.
I got tons of files for it... dying to use them
Photoshop is all i have.

Why are you waiting? The only thing Illustrator has over Photoshop is the pen tool; Photoshop can do what Illustrator can, only Illustrator does it better.

[technicolour]
