After our various projects in Adobe Photoshop, we are moving on to Adobe Illustrator. The biggest difference between the two is how Photoshop uses bitmap graphics while Illustrator uses vector. Illustrator is mostly strictly using certain shape tools in various and unique ways to make an image. Photoshop and Illustrator have a lot of similar tools and a layout that works and looks almost the same as each other. Some things that I have noticed from looking at some videos of excellent uses of Illustrator is how that the software can be used to such high extents that allow the user to create a beautiful masterpiece. The software can be used for some very complex large artworks that have an amazing look and feel to them although the software can be used by beginners to make simple things such as easy icons. Recently in class we have been working on creating badges in Illustrator (Image above is not my work). As I worked with the software I realized that such a simple concept of using shapes is a very easy way to create basic but effective art pieces with very little knowledge of how to use the program. You have multiple shape tools that have a bunch of settings to change the amount of sides, the size of the shape, etc. So far we have been exploring a small amount of each tool and how to use the shape builder tool to allow us to cut certain shapes to our liking. So far I am preferring Illustrator over Photoshop. Conclusion -
