I like that Adobe Illustrator works really well for exporting SVG graphics. You can select multiple elements and export them in a batch.
I don't like that there are no facilities for animating SVG files. I would like to see a timeline tool, and I think Adobe missed a trick with this.
I use Adobe Illustrator for creating graphics that I export as SVG graphics, that I then display on web pages I create. The SVG format is a vector format that makes very small file sizes (fast transfer), and has perfect quality at whatever scale it is displayed at. I like Adobe Illustrator as I can select multiple elements in a document and it will automatically create all the SVG files. It can also minify the files, which saves me even more disk space.
Easy to learn and use. Links with other Adobe products.
My only issue with this programme is that I don't have enough time to experiment with it and the monthly cost, as you can no longer purchase the programme outright.
Illustrator offers a cheaper solution for Textile designers who cannot afford to purchase textile specific programmes. Seamless pattern designs are possible with Illustrator. There are some awesome effects and brushes to use.
You can make any type of vector format logo in Adobe Illustrator, I specially work with SVG instead of AI, I took youtube courses on how to use the tools in the program properly and creating things I would have previously believed to be really hard are easy now. It's really easy to find tutorials for almost anything
I'm not a fan of auto-save feature, I really like to decide when to save or discard my design, but it's a minor annoyance, nothing to really worry about.
Vectorial image design
I like that the feature that is essential to us, having a full library of spot colours that work with our Fiery RIP, are present in Adobe Illustrator.
I dislike that it can be complex to get a screen preview that is colour calibrated when working with different colour profiles, and takes some experimentation to get right.
We work with a Fiery RIP, which is a digital computer system that processes print jobs and separates colours. It works with Pantone and other colour systems. Adobe Illustrator is compatible with this. It works accurately to match colours, which is very important, as a print job that has incorrect colours will actually cost us money as we will have to reprint it. If you work with a Fiery RIP, Adobe Illustrator is a good companion.
IT IS AN EDITOR OF VECTORIAL GRAPHICS IN THE FORM OF AN ART WORKSHOP THAT WORKS ON A DRAWING BOARD, KNOWN AS "TABLE OF WORK »AND IT IS INTENDED FOR THE ARTISTIC CREATION OF DRAWING AND PAINTING FOR ILLUSTRATION, ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT ILUSTRATOR, ARE THE CHANGES THAT CAN BE MADE TO IMAGES, A DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER PROGRAMS THIS OFFERS A VARIETY OF VERY USEFUL TOOLS THAT HELP US TO HAVE A QUALITY IMAGE AS A RESULT.
THE DISADVANTAGES OF ILLUSTRATOR IS THAT DEPENDING ON THE OPERATIVE SYSTEM THAT HAVE THE PC OF THE IMAGE GRAPHICS INSTALLED AND VIDEO SUELE PUT A LITTLE SLOW TO EXECUTE IT AND GET NOT VERY GOOD POSITIVE RESULTS.
I CAN CREATE LOGOS FREELY BECAUSE I OFFERED TOOLS THAT ALLOW YOU TO DESIGN IN YOUR WAY, ALSO HAVE A VARIETY OF VARIOUS TEMPLATES WHY YOU ALWAYS GET VARIETY AT THE TIME OF CREATION.
Many times we are very tied to a software without wanting to explore others that are even better than those we already use, and I love Illustrator, which is an excellent editor of images and photos and also allows you to make magnificent presentations. has a wide and varied toolbar that allows you to give you the best results and these are very professional. Illustrator is a relatively new software in comparison with others and it is precisely renewing and innovating the way you edit your images. Its filters and effects are excellent and of high quality. I love the resolution that can come to my images. without a doubt another excellent launch of Autodesk.
If you are learning to master this lavish tool, it may cost a bit, it can be a little complicated to use at first.
In endless occasions it has allowed me to make the best editions of images and these are excellent, extremely professional and all are delighted with the results, bosses, employees and customers are amazed with the images and always ask me what program I use to make those editions and I always recommend Adobe Illustrator.
I've found that Adobe Illustrator is capable of producing documents for print with perfect measurement accuracy, which is important when I am creating shipping labels and other merged data documents.
I don't like that the Data Merge features of Adobe Illustrator have some problems with UTF-8 unicode character sets.
I use Adobe Illustrator when I am creating merged documents from data sources, like shipping labels. I benefit from it being able to automatically create hundreds of pages from a data source, and that I can make perfect measurements for printing onto labels, which demand perfect accuracy especially for shipping.
I like that I can rely on Adobe Illustrator to create print perfect vector graphics, every time. I have never had a single issue with the quality of an Adobe Illustrator document.
I dislike the toolbar layout on Adobe Illustrator, which has started to hide features that I still commonly use, underneath other tools, in the latest version.
I use Adobe Illustrator primarily to create documents in vector format that are to be used for printing. I've found that the quality from Adobe Illustrator in vector format is always perfect. This is important as any mistakes in errors or printing cost us money, so I would say we benefit from this by reducing losses.
I like that Adobe Illustrator is fully capable of editing existing PDF documents, changing text and other elements.
I don't like that Adobe Illustrator takes a lot of computer power (RAM, Memory) on my computer and runs quite slowly.
I use Adobe Illustrator when I have an existing PDF document and I want to edit the text contained within it. I am also able to move elements including pictures and shapes, and improve a document. This is of benefit to me as I can edit and update documents that are sent to me when a client has amendments that they need to have made.
Great for manipulating graphics. I like the creative freedom this program offers for designing brochures and postcards too.
Adobe makes sure that none of their programs does everything. It's not great for multipage layouts (although it does now offer multiple artboards) and you will still need Photoshop for photo editing.
When I download vector graphics, Illustrator lets me color and manipulate them. Then it's easy to import into a video or place into an InDesign layout.
I like that Adobe Illustrator has all the tools needed to create vector graphics, and there is no doubt that it has all the tools I need to create, so I can dedicate myself to using it.
I have not found anything to dislike about Adobe Illustrator, because I find it works very well.
I use Adobe Illustrator to work with vector graphics. Vector graphics are graphics formed from shapes, instead of pixels. I've found that it has all the tools I need to create anything. I have also found there are numerous tutorials available on web sites like YouTube, and this is great for helping me learn how to create anything.
Illustrator is one of the most powerful programs within the Creative Cloud and I love how simple and intuitive it is to create vector images, especially from rasterized ones. It's basically three easy clicks to get an infinitely scalable image from nothing
All praise aside, Illustrator's biggest shortcomings are similar to Photoshop's in that there are a few convoluted steps to simple solutions and seemingly bloated menus that make the UI feel cluttered. Now, you can rearrange mostly every panel until you find your perfect setup (like most Adobe products) but Illustrator is one of the more powerful programs; I would like to be able to go in and knock out a 20 minute project in 20 minutes, not lug around menus and config boxes for 5 to dial it in just right.
A lot of legacy design work I get is rasterized and part of my job is being able to translate that into high quality, infinity scalable images. Illustrator without question is the only program that gives me the flexibility and power to achieve this in volume and under tight deadlines
I like that Adobe Illustrator is regarded in the industry as the gold standard of graphic design software. Because it has all the features you need, it is very common.
I dislike the expense required to purchase a licence to use Adobe Illustrator. I would like to see a lower price.
I use Adobe Illustrator for the design of print documents, in particular with vector graphics. It has excellent typography, line and shape drawing tools. It also has very good colour management, and is able to convert colours between RGB and CMYK.
I like Adobe Illustrator to be considered the gold standard of graphic design software in the industry. It's very common because it has all the features you need.
I don't like the cost of purchasing a Adobe Illustrator licence. There's a lower price I want to see.
For print documents I use Adobe Illustrator, especially vector graphics. It has excellent drawing tools for typography, line and form. It is also able to manage very well colors and to convert colors from RGB to CMYK.
I like the fact that Illustrator integrates so well with Adobe’s ecosystem.
I feel like all of Adobe’s color menus operate differently and they each have a learning curve. Gradients are always a struggle for me as well.
The best way to create logos from scratch. It is so easy to manipulate shapes once you get a feel for it.
I like best that Adobe Illustrator has some of the finest typography features of any software package available.
Adobe Illustrator takes a lot of computer resources to run, so make sure you have a powerful computer to run it.
I use Adobe Illustrator for print production. Of particular benefit to me are the typography tools, that are the finest of any software package I have used. They allow me to tweak everything in a block of text, including kerning, leading and line spacing. I have not found any software better than this for typography.
The fact that it is compatable with inkscape which actually exports to photoshot and PDF.It provides a helpful user interface and allows for in-panel editting.It is completely scalable and provides files in managable sizes.
It requires patience. If you want to create something that feels realistic to others, then you’ll need to give yourself plenty of time to work on the project. To create a drawing that feels realistic, you must have a keen eye for detail and be able to recognize elements of the image that Illustrator will not recognize as being out of place.
It has been easier to creat graphic designs for various companies compared to any other design software. It saves on time therefore gives time for more work and more income.
Adobe illustrator has abundant editing and drawing tools for vector images. It has a free trial version too. It works efficiently on all operating systems. It provides quick and easy mockups for reviews. Scalability of vector images creates high quality images.
Adobe illustrator is not quite user friendly. The options for art board background are quite limited. It sometimes crashes too when you are working on some images.
Adobe illustrator supports integration with other Adobe applications. It also allows you to export the created images in other formats without reducing their quality. It allows you to customize your platform to suit your editing style.
It is one of my favorite programs for the design and creation of websites, basically with all the tools that it offers, it allows you to create and design a website in its fullness and in this way to know where we are going in the project, it also allows you to design the frontal or visual part of a system and therefore make it as dynamic and intuitive as possible, in this way being able to present a previous version to clients in order to achieve better communication. It is a very powerful tool with an infinite number of capacities. It also allows you to work with vector resources which is very positive and very good when developing the advertising material or the indeciplinary content of a company.
It is true that the only negative aspect is the price since it is high and that it really is not a simple tool to use, it takes a lot of knowledge to be able to get the most out of it since it has many characteristics that are for professionals in the field, but the truth is that with specific courses we can be very useful for what we need.
I have managed to present different ideas without the need to develop them all with the intention that the client is enlightened about what they want, it really seems an indispensable tool in the area of programming and design since with it we can achieve the creation of content, and corporate images, really is a tool to which I appeal almost in all my projects so much that makes things easier for me.
The flexibility of Illustrator is better than any other program in the Adobe Creative Suite. You can create almost anything from it.
I wish it had better brush features like Photoshop does.
We create all of our illustrations in Illustrator that we use for our blog, our resources, presentations, and more. It's our go to product for creating custom illustrations.
