WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR
What is Adobe Illustrator?
Adobe Illustrator is a vector based drawing program that automatically creates your vector formulas as you draw. Vector images are made up of paths, each with a mathematical formula (vector) that tells the path how it is shaped points, lines, and shapes as well as what color it is bordered with or filled by. A pro about vector images are that they can be scaled infinitely, without any loss of quality or fidelity. Where as Raster images are made up of pixels and can loose quality with resizing. Vector images can be used for both print and digital platforms and are best used for such things as logos, promotional uses and of course personal work. |
