What is Illustrator?
Illustrator is a program developed by Adobe for graphic design and illustration. The program is mainly used to create vector graphics, which means that the images are created with mathematical formulas instead of pixels. It allows scaling up and down without losing image quality. Just like Photoshop, Illustrator has a variety of tools for editing and creating images. Among other things, the program offers various pen tools, shapes, brushes and patterns to create complex and detailed illustrations. Although there are other programs similar to Illustrator, such as CorelDRAW and Inkscape, Illustrator is one of the most popular tools in the graphic design industry and illustration. Adobe has also integrated Illustrator with other programs in their Creative Cloud suite, making it easier to create and edit images across platforms and devices.
