    Illustrator is the standard and it can't be beat

    Date: Jan 17 2025
    Summary

    I have had good experiences with Illustrator. Adobe doesn't make bad products. All software wants to be a good as Illustrator.

    Positive

    I use Illustrator and Photoshop constantly and they both excel at what they can do. My vector based artwork is produced in Illustrator and I've never looked for a competing product. I've used Illustrator for the past 30 years and it constantly keeps getting better.

    Powerful, compatible, and sets the standards.

    Negative

    It is tricky to learn, but once you understand it you will love it.

    Adobe Illustrator

    Date: Apr 22 2022
    Summary

    We have been using Illustrator for our company designs for 10 years. We have tried other programs over that time such as Canva and other design programs but nothing is as good. 5 stars from us.

    Positive

    Illustrator has become a fantastic product for our team. We can easily use the product remotely on all of our computers. We pay the annual subscription for our team which allows us to get automatic updates. We no longer need to buy a new CD every year. The program is powerful and yet easy to use. We can have 10 design templates open at the same time and not see a lag in our work load.

    Negative

    There are difficulties finding font files and searching for fonts that are not available. Could use a system that guides us on installing font process as it's a common problem that needs to be solved on many jobs that we process.

    Adobe Illustrator Review

    Date: Jan 15 2021
    Summary

    Overall a clean and professional tool for graphic and designing works which can give you great results once mastered. And this is also one of the most popular tools out that that most of the professionals use.

    Positive

    Adobe Illustrator is one of the finest tools that I have used so far for designing. You can create vector arts, drawing, logos, etc. flawlessly and the the final result you get will be just outstanding. You can easily export your arts in many of the formats available. Also it saves a lot of time and has a clean and elegant user interface.

    Negative

    The only con that it has is that if you are a beginner it can be a tedious process to master this tool. Yes, but once you have learnt how to use this tool the results will be mind blowing.

    Fantastic art creations

    Date: Aug 30 2021
    Summary

    While the entire Adobe suite is expensive (especially with their subscription model), there is little to show they aren't entirely worth it. From top to bottom, these products are excellent for their niche, with Illustrator proving it's worth it from the moment you start creating your first designs.

    Positive

    This is the best product on the market for creating art and design for digital distribution. The amount of tools and usability cannot be matched by anyone else on the market.

    Negative

    Prepare to have a steep learning curve for this product. It operates much different from other Adobe products and tutorials are key to get it working.

    Adobe illustrator

    Updated: Mar 22 2021
    Summary

    Overall, adobe illustrator does what it's built for remarkably. I can create logos and banners in rapid succession for my needs or for someone else. It's also easy to share your documents as you can import projects in various formats and scales.

    Positive

    Adobe Illustrator is one of the first graphic design softwares i used to make my first logo and poster. I used it to cover several projects for my graphic design class at Simon Fraser university. It's easy and very intuitive to use. Tools such as the pen tool, shape tool help to build a variety of designs for logos. I also use this app to create graphics for my youtube channel and i can easily export the graphics or the logo to photoshop in vector format. I can spend 8 to 10 hours just designing without getting bored or frustrated.

    Negative

    As good as its tools are for creating designs, it's not the best software for editing pictures. I often create images and usually have to transport the project to photoshop for better photo editing. It possesses no animation elements and its symbols template is lacking in vector or icon images i can use.
