What Is Illustrator?Slide2
Illustrator is a vector drawing program.
used
to draw illustrations, cartoons, diagrams, charts and logos.
Unlike
bitmap images that stores information in a grid of dots, Illustrator uses mathematical equations to draw out the shapes.
This
makes vector graphics scalable without the loss of resolution.Slide3
Advantages of Vector GraphicsScalable without resolution loss
Lines are crisp and sharp at any sizes
Print at high resolution
Smaller file size
Good for drawing illustrationsSlide4
Disadvantages of vector graphicsDrawings tend to look flat and cartoonish
Hard to produce photo realistic drawingsSlide5
Common Uses for Illustrator
1) Designing Logos
2) Drawing Maps
3) Drawing Illustrations

These are just a few examples of what Illustrator can do. If you have experience with Photoshop, you can bring your illustrations into Photoshop and enhance them. That’s how professional do it.Slide13
Differences between Photoshop and Illustrator
Illustrator creates vector graphics and vector
text.
Vector
graphics consist of lines and curves that contain mathematical objects called vectors.
Photoshop creates bitmapped graphics.
Bitmaps consist of tiny dots of color. The eye fills in the spaces between the dots so the color appears to be solid.
Bitmapped graphics are measured by the number of dots per unit - usually called dpi (dots per inch).Slide14
Differences (Continued)
Bitmap graphics are much larger in file size than vector graphics. So, Illustrator…
needs less storage space
downloaded
faster
Scaling (Resizing)
Vector graphics will scale to any size without losing quality
Bitmap will change quality if you enlarge or reduce it
Some filters can be applied to bitmap images but cannot be applied to vector images.Slide15
