[thelist] Adobe Illustrator and Web Graphics

[warbassedesign.com]

Hi Syed,

I have been designing with both tools for about 11 years now.
Obviously my first suggestion is to go to www.adobe.com and check out
multiple reviews for yourself.
I will give you my opinions here though:
First PhotoShop and Illustrator differ in that Illustrator is a VECTOR based
program (you'll hear that word a lot)  Illustrator is used mostly by print
designers.  It allows the user to easily create things like tool lines and
1pt lines.  I also supports text very well.  Illustrator works well for
people who need to layout print ads from scratch.

PhotoShop on the other hand is a NON-VECTOR based photo editing program.  It
is used for manipulating images for the most part.  Things you probably
don't want to try in PhotoShop would be layouts for negs or anykind of
prepress (although it can be done).  Anything with lots of text or where you
need really clean lines would be better in Illustrator.

In summary, unless your doing a lot of print work at 300dpi (150 line
screen) or higher then use Photoshop.  Personally I used PhotoShop almost
exclusively for the web.

Hope that helps!
Peace
Phil
