Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based drawing program developed and marketed by Adobe Systems.

History

Versions 1 (Illustrator 88)

Adobe Illustrator was first developed for the Apple Macintosh in 1986 (shipping in January 1987) as a commercialization of Adobe's in-house font development software and PostScript file format. Adobe Illustrator is the companion product of Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is primarily geared toward digital photo manipulation and photorealistic styles of computer illustration, while Illustrator provides results in the typesetting and logo graphic areas of design. Early magazine ads (featured in graphic design trade magazines such as Communication Arts) referred to the product as "the Adobe Illustrator". Illustrator 88 was released in 1988 and introduced many new tools and features.

A. Best advice: Take a class. These are offered at pretty low cost at most community colleges and some adult education programs. If the instructor is a qualified Adobe certifed trainer, the classroom text will be the "Classroom in a Book" series. It is also the book I recommend for self teaching of most Adobe products. The book takes the user through a series of professionally designed projects, beginning with some simple ones, and progressing through more complex projects designed to introduce the user to more and more of the applications tools and features.
