Adobe Illustrator Reviews & Product Details

I like the trace feature that allows me to convert logos into SVG files

I dislike the learning curve attached, however after some basic tutorials, I was fully ready to take it on.

Document editing for published marketing

Can quickly and easily create vector art.

Certain functions or too many points on a page can cause the program to crash.

Allows us to create images for customers and quickly copy-paste them across multiple sizes without distortion.

Ease of making scalable graphics like SVGs is one of my favorite parts about this software. I know a lot of people who use this software to create graphics for use in die cut and vinyl cutting machines. It really is much better to use for creating graphics than Photoshop, whose actual focus (as the name suggests) is for working with photos.

It can take a bit to get used to if you're accustomed to Photoshop instead. But there are many videos and training guides available online.

We use it for things like logos and other graphics where we may need it to be able to scale down to very small version and scale up to something large, like for a banner.

Adobe Illustrator offers a bevy of amazing tools to create and edit vector illustrations. With everything from simple shape tools to complex anchor-point options, it helps me create stunning illustrations with ease. As part of the Adobe Creative Suite, Illustrator integrates well with other tools like Photoshop when you need to work on other formats.

As with a number of Adobe products, it feels like things haven't change too much over the years. This is both a good thing (familiarity) and a bad one (lack of innovation).

I use Adobe Illustrator to create and edit vector graphics. It's a great application that helps me move quickly and produce designs as needed.

Adobe Illustration is absolutely fantastic. In addition to having a fantastic selection of templates to choose form, Illustrator has everything I need to manipulate anchor points, add effects, build shapes, and perform any of the other operations necessary to produce amazing illustrations. A+!

It seems like every time a new version is released, Adobe has moved around menus and options. It can be a bit frustrating to constantly relearn things when new versions come out. Otherwise, it's a very solid tool.

I use Illustrator to create vector Illustrations for use in print and web designs.

Anybody who's ever worked with vector illustrations knows that getting every anchor point perfect can be a pain. Adobe Illustrator CC has made it significantly easier to get your illustrations pixel-perfect. The new tools for curve-smoothing and refining angles are superb, and it's really nice how much Adobe has automated this time around.

Illustrator can be a bit daunting for newbies. I manage a few younger designers and it usually takes them a while to get the hang of things. I wish Adobe would do a bit better helping new users onboard to the tool.

I use Adobe Illustrator to create and edit vector illustrations for web and print. It's got everything I need to get the job done.

Adobe Illustrator is a fantastic tool for creating vector illustrations. I like the fact that the tool can do so much--from anchor-point tracing to shape tools and beautiful effects--Illustrator can do just about everything.

Illustrator does have a few flaws. Notably, like many Adobe programs, there's a lot of menus to search through and the program can be a bit slow at times, particularly when handling large assets. This can be frustrating if you're under a deadline or trying to finish something quickly.

I use Illustrator to create illustrations for our marketing collateral. The program significantly speeds up my workflow.

I like that the shortcuts aren't different from other versions. I use it mainly for flat fashion sketches so it is great for a clean image and creating repeats for fabric patterns.

I dislike that the boarders are cut off when you print. I've always hated this feature.

Versions are not entirely updated throughout our company however this is something currently being worked on. Solution will be getting the Creative Cloud for easy updates.

this is the all in one vector software out there and no other software in the market provides so much options when it comes to designing vectors. one of the perks of adobe illustrator is that you can use multiple artboards and don't have to switch between images when doing a project. the pen tool is another great tool that comes with the adobe illustrator which helps you in designing new vectors as well as manipulating existing vectors into the shape you desire. the output size of the output vector file is so small that sharing became very easy. the interface is really beautiful and you can even customize your own workspace and save it for future use, which saves a lot of time. the program is a part of the Adobe creative cloud suite so you can easily integrate the software with other creative cloud products and work together.

the software is expensive and many of the small companies won't be able to afford it. the learning curve is way too steep and its not like a newbie can jump in and use the software. when it comes to editing images, the options are very limited. also exporting the files in other formats such as jpeg can be hard in illustrator.

editing and creating vector graphics. this is the best tool in the market for working with vectors.

Illustrator is great for creating vector images from regular jpegs/ pngs. It's also good for modifying architectural plan/ elevation files.

It is not a super intuitive tool, some training definitely required. Once you understand what all the tools do it becomes much easier.

One of the best uses for this tool is creating files that can be used for laser cutting/ CNC machines.

Adobe Illustrator has many tools to assist when drawing vector drawings, resulting in different processes to achieve the end result. I enjoy using the pen tool when creating and find it helpful to go into isolation mode to quickly single out a part of the drawing to focus on it.

It does crash every once and a while like all apps do. For the longest time my main issue was there was no autosave function. However, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. My biggest issue is just the amount of steps required to ensure my drawings are pixel perfect and don't show any rasterization. I have to have snap to grid, snap to pixel options turned on. It can be a bit frustrating.

I've used Illustrator many times for creating logos or drawings that will be printed. I've been able to produce many drawings and easily able to quickly and efficiently scale the drawing if there are changes required for print.

Adobe illustrator is the only tool I have found that creates great charts and graphs. Photoshop can do it, but they're clunky and much harder to design well. Illustrator has tools designed to make easy charts, including a relatively easy to find arrow line button.

Often, even coming from a strong InDesign and Photoshop background, Illustrator can feel confusing. The choices and options won't be in the categories I expect. I find myself googling for answers more often than I would expect.

Designing elegant charts and graphs! Illustrator is key for this. They can easily be saved as jpgs and imported into InDesign for charts and books as needed.

I like the fact that everything is vector based and not pixel based. It makes for crisp clean lines. Software is also very similar to photo shop.

At sometimes the level of skill required to use some of the features can be daunting. It does so much or has the possibility to do so much.

We are doing a lot of in-house graphics coupled with our Photoshop images.

I always use this program for making logos because of the blend tool, it’s makes everything look smooth

Masks are harder to use than photoshop and leas accessible

Logo making! Any design needs

Illustrator is a powerful vector graphic editor... use this every day.

Just like photoshop, it comes with a lot of Adobe's bloat baked in. Even on my 2017 Macbook Pro, it sometimes runs slowly.

Editing images for our website and blog.

This software works with vector and all the drawings that you do will never get pixelated no matter how big or small you escalated, Vector graphics are the best choice design and illustration tasks, such as creating icons, logos, diagrams, charts, posters and website graphics. If you manage your layer, sub layers it's going to be easy. I use it to highlight, emphasize or explain something in my architectural drawings plans or just to make it more lively to see it in the presentations.

if you don't have a good computer with a powerful graphics card you can't work biggest drawings. So you need a potent computer or laptop with a good Graphic card if it is no then you going to have the diggest headache in your life when the software freeze an do not save your work.

when it come to explanatory drawings for the costumer to understand the project without explain with words Adobe Illustrator its the best to drawing it.

Illustrator is very easy to use and helps us produce great signs.

Really do not have anything that I dislike

We can design with our customers needs in mind. Lots of options to make a personalized logo, etc.

Adobe Illustrator is the all in one package when coming to creating and editing vector graphics. There are a lot of tools are filter to work out and build amazing graphics. The shadow options and adjustments in the program are outstanding. The size of the output file is really small, and you can share it easily. With the creative cloud option, you can get access to Adobe library and tons of elements and fonts. The live trace is also very precise and fantastic tool with which you can quickly create vector graphics out of raster images. The incredible thing is that it can work alongside other creative cloud programs and make your work a lot easier. the interface is beautiful and you can customize it according to your need which makes your work really easy.

it takes a lot of time to learn the adobe illustrator if you dont have prior knowledge. its not like you can just install the program and start working. this program isn't a program where you can create a project in like 10 minutes. the pricing isn't cheap, small companies or individuals wont be able to afford the software. the program need a lot of memory to work fluently. When exporting to the PSD files the text layer cant be edited and it can be troublesome. photo editing is very limited when coming to adobe illustrator. also when coming to some of the drawing pad's illustration doesn't really take the pressure sensitivity.

create and edit vector graphics

My favorite thing to use illustrator for is the image trace!

I am not a fan of the price package that Adobe offers to its users.

Illustrator helps me solve many problems. It is fully functional and can be used for almost any design task, especially for illustrations.

It is a very complete program has many features, you can get to create visual effects in a very professional way, it works very well to create logos, banner and professional brands

At the beginning it can be a bit confusing to use, it consumes a lot of RAM in its use and the software is a bit expensive

As mentioned above, I use it to create logos and banners and brands for companies that request it, and I am having professional results
