Return on Investment
- Streamlined our process. It would make our design lives so much more clunky and frustrating if we didn't have all the tools and abilities that Adobe Illustrator CC offers.
- Time-saving. As said earlier, the ability to edit PDF files has saved us hours upon hours of time, as we otherwise would have had to create such files from scratch.
- Limitless Design Possibilities. Often we come up with some interesting and hard-to describe ideas for designs, which can be implemented with all of the options and tools available in Adobe Illustrator. It gives us the freedom to design whatever we think of.

Return on Investment
- Our proposals have definitely become more eye-catching and we've received compliments.
- Creating associated graphics to help pair with workflows in lengthy multi-page Word documents and really drill down and customize each step has been invaluable.
