One of my tasks today was to create a banner and I thought to myself which software should I choose Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator and yes it is obvious that I have chosen Adobe Illustrator and later I decided to write you an article saying that you need Adobe Illustrator To convince you about why you should learn. You are a graphic designer or web developer.

The Big Muscles to Adobe Illustrator

You may think that learning Adobe Illustrator in 2021 is pointless since most of the work can be done on Adobe Photoshop, and with the release of Adobe XD there can be all layouts and planning. What does it mean after all? Well here are some of the things Adobe Illustrator does best but first

What is Adobe Illustrator?

Adobe Illustrator is a software developed and published by Adobe Inc. since 1987. At first, it was only available for Mac but in later years it was also available for Windows. It is used to create vector scalable graphics.

What is Vector Graphic you ask?

There are two types of 2D graphic vector and raster.

Raster Graphics

Raster graphics are made up of a grid of pixels, each of which can have a different color. The main drawback of this is that it can only be made smaller (the size can be reduced) but if you try to increase the pixels the image will become blurred. Ex: Digital photographs, icons, etc.

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphic software used for editing these types of images.

Vector Graphic

Vector graphics are made in a simple way that can create shapes, letters, or any other line objects. They follow mathematical formulas that provide information about these lines, such as colors, and what shapes to form. This type of graphics can be measured infinitely and it will never lose design.

Now since that’s out of the way let’s get back to our main topic

Best for designing Logo

It is always better to design the locator in vector format so that you can resize any color as you like. Customers always zoom in, check out the detailed view of the logo, the vector graphic is easy to customize.

Exported to SVG

One of the best things about Adobe Illustrator is that it can be exported directly in the form of SVG so you don't have to worry about the best resolutions for websites.

Web Designing

Adobe Illustrator is really the best way to create wireframes (the basic structure of a website or application) and lay it out and has many built-in features to do so.

Create your custom font, cartoons, and artworks

Ever seen stylish-looking text or artwork on Instagram or any social media platform and wonder if I want to create something like that, but don’t know how? Here's your

answer: Learn Adobe Illustrator and you will be able to do it with practice.

How to make the font

• Sketching: Sketch the letters by hand.
• Tracing: Use the scanner to get that image into the system and open that image in Illustrator. Now trace the letters with the pen tool.
• Reorganizing: Accurate, readability and Corning images you are looking at are refined and organized.
• Saving: Save the glyph and export it using additional plug-ins.
• Using: Put that new brand into your new design for good use.

Patterns with just a few repeats

Illustrator is the ACR of creating peters with repeat options. You repeat, reflect, and ask for spas between objects and your pattern is ready.

The Infographic

Infographics are a very popular way to illustrate a topic with shapes, budgets, some data, and text. Creating charts in Adobe Illustrator is easy, just need to enter and complete some values. Infographics can be easily designed in Illustrator. This infographic is also saved in EPS format which is best for printing.

Easy to Learn

Trying to learn Adobe Photoshop, your first week will be literally the hardest learning of all those shortcuts while learning Adobe Illustrator is fairly easy. No need to create new layers every time, in Adobe Illustrator you just do your work because you like that the whole screen is your work area (inside or outside the artwork).

In other words, what I'm trying to say is that Adobe Illustrator is software that can be used in most scenarios and gives you the freedom to express your creativity without having to wonder how color can fill in the blanks.
