Adobe Illustrator is the industry standard vector drawing application used to create scalable vector artwork for both print and web. The advantage of these vector graphics is that they can be edited without limitation or loss of quality. It is made up of paths instead of pixels.
The biggest difference between Illustrator and Photoshop is that Illustrator is more often used for vector work even though you can put vectors in Photoshop now, but Photoshop doesn’t have anywhere near the drawing capabilities of Illustrator.
You can use Illustrator to design objects going from simple icons to logos, maps, and more complex illustrations going from your ideas on paper to finished digital work of art. The drawing tools allow you to easily create and edit shapes, add patterns or special effects and if you’re already familiar with other Adobe you will recognize the intuitive user interface. You can input your designs into other Adobe programs like Photoshop for use with Smart Filters or InDesign for print production and digital magazines.
Illustrator has versions for desktop and for the iPad.
