We have been using Adobe Illustrator CC through our campus for both students and faculty members across a few key departments that are involved with media creation. This includes but is not limited to teaching materials and supplemental departmental information. Aside from using it, we are also involved with supporting users needing troubleshooting for the software.

Currently, we mostly use Adobe Illustrator in our marketing and HR/Operations department. The main items we use it for is to create engaging marketing materials and manuals/documents for staff. a current example would be our learning component for staff. We used Illustrator to create a detailed and vibrant document that provides all of our options available for staff learning and development as we introduced new learning programs for the team to continue to build their skills. Illustrator takes this from being your standard text heavy document to something that can be eye-catching with relevant graphics, infographics, and the like to generate further interest. In short, it makes something that could be boring a lot more interesting to keep interest high.

Adobe Illustrator CC is being used by our design team. We have seven Creative Cloud licenses which includes the Adobe Illustrator app. The bulk of the Adobe Illustrator CC usage is handled in marketing, when we need graphics created for different marketing campaigns. Other reasons for Illustrator is to alter purchased graphics or logos. Using Adobe Illustrator CC allows us to have the best tool on the market to create or edit vector art.

Adobe Illustrator CC is being used for nearly 80% of all design-related work for clients. It's one of the best parts of the Adobe Creative Suite considering it's vector-based and being that we have a variety of clients who need both digital and print related assets, vector-based is the best so that resolution doesn't get lost.

We use Adobe Illustrator CC to creative graphics for marketing collateral for the college. A lot of those graphics are used on our social media channels, imported into InDesign for printed pieces and for animations created in Adobe After Effects. Illustrator helps us create vector-based graphics that are easily scalable and can be used in other various programs. We also use Illustrator a lot to create logos for different departments.

Acting as the in-house design team for an organic suncare brand, my team uses Illustrator for everything from print packaging artwork, dieline modification, branding assets (icons, logos, etc.), large format print graphics, and type explorations. I personally use Illustrator daily to design and develop our in market packaging and modify or create dielines for primary and secondary packaging. I also use Illustrator daily to develop our digital marketing graphics and seasonally for new product development mockups.

Adobe Illustrator CC is implemented in our design and marketing department. This is a daily-use software that lets us quickly and efficiently create and manage vector-based artwork as well as creating layouts for use in our marketing and retail advertising materials. The Creative Cloud support for Adobe Illustrator CC has massively expanded the capabilities of the software, making for a more robust and comprehensive design environment. Adobe Illustrator CC is the industry standard for a reason. Innovative features and easy-to-use tools make Adobe Illustrator CC a must-have software for creatives across the board.

I use Adobe Illustrator CC to design illustrations, logos, and other graphics with ease in my business. I also use Illustrator to manipulate fonts by creating outlines. I like how Adobe Illustrator integrates seamlessly with the other Adobe Creative Cloud software. You can easily add elements to Adobe InDesign, which is very quick and easy to do. I like how the controls sort of mimic other Adobe software, so if you are familiar with InDesign or Photoshop, you could get the hang of Illustrator a little easier. I like that it deals solely with vector art which offers unlimited scaling. Updates are regular with this software, much like other Adobe Creative Cloud software.

Adobe Illustrator is used to make Logo designs, Banner designs, Flyer designs for our clients. The software is used by the whole organisation.
Adobe Illustrator is the top software to use as graphic designers, because it contains all the tools and features to create the best we can for our clients.
We were using an open-source software which lacked some of the tools that Adobe Illustrator had, so we made the investment to purchase the license and now our work has improved greatly.

Adobe Illustrator CC is used almost daily in the publishing department of my company to access color information from our catalogue of EPS files, although it is also used frequently across the company. [Adobe Illustrator CC] is a reliable vector editor, useful to prepare client files for printing/press preflight, as well as create our own images to be used in digital and printed publications.

We use [Adobe Illustrator CC] in the Design and Video teams at our company. We use [Adobe Illustrator CC] for graphics that we use in PPT presentations, creating icons, building infographics, storyboarding images that the video team animates, creating/managing graphic libraries, and more. If there's anything we need to be able to expand into large sizes or import as an editable object within PPT, we start in Illustrator. Our team uses it every day to prepare images for all of our client projects.

When our department requires smooth vector graphics for any variety of projects, we turn to Adobe Illustrator CC. Several department members have Creative Cloud subscriptions through the institution. We may design everything from course banners to elements used for interactive applications, such as Articulate Storyline. Happily, creations may be exported in whole or in part in a variety of popular formats.

Adobe Illustrator is currently just being used within our design team. We use it to create artwork for products, packaging/labels, and marketing collateral. Like all of the Adobe programs, it is a top notch vector program. The program is a bit more in depth than others but that's a good thing. It allows us to create better quality quality work.

Quickest and most robust prototyping tool for logos, light print design such as invitations, iconography, and presentation backgrounds. Adobe Illustrator Creative Cloud is a constant tool, always open on my PC, and is used through 35-50% of my design process from concept creation to execution. New techniques and methods are shared well throughout the web and can be quickly picked up and executed. Shortcuts make the design process quicker and allow for more billable time.

[Adobe Illustrator CC] is not used widely across the company. There are a number of us in the Training and Development department who use it to create graphics that are incorporated into eLearning lessons and videos that we produce. I have used it to create 2d graphics, icons, and logos.

I use Adobe Illustrator CC for internal communication within the company, to prepare presentation to clients and to prepare social media pieces for publishing. I'm the only one using it in the company since there's not a lot of demand from other users.
The main issue it addressed was the lack of uniformity amongst company communication, that was all over the place and by centering everything in one user, communication became standardized and there was no different look-and-feel between publications in different media.

Adobe Illustrator CC is the tool for creating clean-looking, infinitely resizable/enlargeable illustrations and graphical elements. It is additionally 50% of my business's workflow for creating animated explainer videos for our corporate clients, which is a sizable portion of our annual work. The tight integration between Adobe Illustrator CC and Adobe After Effects allows for an efficient, simple workflow that we have used time and time again to produce excellent results that pleased the client.

The local college that I work for uses Adobe Illustrator CC as one of the core training softwares in their bachelor in graphic design program. The software in only used in the communication studies department. Adobe Illustrator CC allows students to gain a comprehensive knowledge of an industry-standard design software that is used worldwide.

I use Illustrator almost every day. I am primarily an animator, but many of the project files I am sent are Illustrator files or can be easily manipulated within Illustrator. It allows me to work with files and prepare them for animation, as well as creating new art files when needed.

We use Adobe Illustrator CC daily for our design work within our creative services division. We create new vector graphics and edit others for use in documents, websites, apps, and other digital marketing tasks. We could not do our job without it as the creation of vector images is necessary for us.

We use Adobe Illustrator CC at our school mainly in our computer lab. We purchased the entire creative cloud for use in this lab so that our students can get some graphic design experience. They have mainly used Adobe Illustrator to create simple graphics, but myself and another teacher use it for creating more advanced graphics to be used around the school. We have sometimes used it to create fliers to be put around the school, on the website, and to be given to students to take home.

Our graphic designers and marketing professionals use Adobe Illustrator frequently for vector-based artwork and conversion to prepare and produce artwork for our needs. As the industry standard, it is easiest to implement and train with.

I use Adobe Illustrator to create high-end vector artwork (mainly for logos). This is the standard program we use for working with vector art across our organization. Adobe Illustrator solves the problem of being able to provide our clients with a polished, finished product that they can then use in a variety of formats.

At Lennis Design, LLC, we use Adobe Illustrator CC for vector logos and shirt designs. We also use it for any print work we're producing and having outsourced. It's flexible and the industry standard so we always know the vendor we're working with has a template so we can give them their native format. Working with multiple vendors is much easier when you use the same tools and files.
