Essential Question 4

You were introduced to Illustrator today. What type of graphics does Illustrator create? How is that different than Photoshop? Which do you think you like better and why?

We learned a few different things about Adobe Illustrator today. Illustrator is mostly used for creating images, logos, or billboards. On Illustrator you are able to use many different graphics.You are able to take the pencil tool and create shapes or lines, in which you are able to take different tools, like the text tool, and follow the path vertically, or even fill in the shape itself. Illustrator is used mostly for those things, because no matter what the shape or size is that you make the image, it never becomes pixelated like the images do in Photoshop. I think that Photoshop is much better for using when you are editing or changing a picture. Illustrator is better used for when you are creating a logo or emblem. As of right now I am starting to like Adobe Illustrator better, because I understand it a little more clearly than Photoshop, and I feel as though it is much easier to use. I like how you can use symbols and images, and it won't distort the view even if you make the image larger. I am glad that we are learning how to use both applications although, because they are both very good programs, and are very fun and easy to use when doing projects.
