An artist’s intuition and personal style is a powerful asset for creating distinctive images, and Illustrator allows artists to create with virtual brushes, pens, inks, and other powerful tools on a variety of digital surfaces. This makes Illustrator a very good application for graphics that are going to be printed on signs or banners.ĭesigners using Illustrator can create graphics and images freehand, using a stylus and digital drawing tools.
Vector art can appear on everything from enormous banners to wallet-sized business cards, and everything in between.
