I use Adobe Illustrator CC almost daily for my companies' many graphic design needs. Illustrator is one of my favorite Adobe products because it is so user friendly but also powerful. I think this program is well-suited for an array of graphic design projects, anything from product design to signage and beyond.

Adobe Illustrator is used mainly by our marketing department for many purposes. It is one of the best tools that we used for designing all our marketing materials that include flyers, brochures, postcards and any graphic designs for our school website or social media. Illustrator provides us with everything that we need for vector and graphics designs.

As a graphic designer, I use Adobe Illustrator CC when designing logos. When designing a logo you always want the artwork to be vector so Illustrator is the best program for that. It is worth every penny spent and all the updates to the program over the years have only made it better.

We have access to educational priced Adobe Creative Cloud licensing. We use Adobe Illustrator in a variety of ways from teaching to professional graphic design. Students use Adobe Illustrator in Architecture, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, and Communications courses. Example professional uses include signage, printed publications, logos, web graphics, presentations, and infographics.

Adobe Illustrator is currently used by our 2D and 3D design teams. Not only does it serve its main purpose as a vector design software but it also bridges the gap between 2D & 3D by offering a way of 2D designers to work with CAD files when quick changes need to be made.

Utilized for everything from single-page print mockups to logo design, super-fast wireframing, flow charts and infographics. Where simple Powerpoint and Word art files won't suffice, we have an amazing way to really bring RFPs, proposals and conference materials to life in a vector (scalable) way that makes amazing graphics for social sharing, web and print use alike.

Currently, we don't use Adobe Illustrator so much, but in the past, it has been crucial to our design work. It's no reflection on Illustrator, it's more that the nature of our work has changed. We've used Illustrator primarily for print design, but I also find it to be far superior to word processors for simple but important things like resumes.

Organizationally, Adobe Illustrator CC is used by several different departments. The main departments that utilize this platform are our Corporate Marketing team and our Graphic Design and Website Design teams. Adobe Illustrator allows our graphic designers to create detailed logos, icons, and graphic content for both internal purposes as well as for our clients. Having unique graphic content really helps our brand, as well as the brands we serve, differentiate themselves from the competition and attract new business.

Adobe Illustrator CC is used by our Marketing department, specifically by graphic artists and production artists. We support the marketing efforts of the entire company, which includes national and international offices. Main reason we use Adobe Illustrator CC is because it is one of the most supported, standard design applications available, and it works cross-platform.

As a forum, we produce some brochures and background papers for distribution to the participants. We use Illustrator CC to design the cover. It's used by our whole team. It's very helpful and it works well with Photoshop, Indesign, and Adobe CC.

Adobe Illustrator is one of the main graphics products that we use in our IT department to create all the necessary flyer and brochures of the other departments. It's a very flexible tool that allows us to design marketing materials and sometime educational materials to our freshmen that are new to the school.

It's the primary software we use for vector and graphic design. It's being used across the marketing department in support of several retail portfolios including multi-family, office, retail, and events. When it comes to managing the number of projects we have as a team, Illustrator gives us the freedom to create marketing graphics in vector format, making them scalable without pixelation, i.e. if we create an 11x17 sized flyer, we can scale that to 1920x1080 vertical without any pixelation in the end product. This is useful in every area, including digital media, logos, etc.

Adobe Illustrator is a must use design tool in our company regardless of beginning a design process with other software. Tool has simple functionality for basic drawing, it's an enormously advanced graphic design tool with many features that can make designing projects easier. I have been able to make things as small as stickers, banners, buttons, and more. The usability is great even you are a designer or marketer.

We use Illustrator for designing vector graphics and branding materials in conjunction with other programs in Adobe's creative suite. It is used mostly by our designers and helps us produce large format graphics for marketing materials. We use it for both internal and external projects and we consider it a core app we use to conduct business.

Illustrator is used within our video department in order to create graphics and charts to implement in our educational videos. It is an absolute necessity and the fact that it is a part of Adobe cloud allows us to seamlessly work between Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere with less exporting and complications. It saves time and a fantastic way to keep our branding streamlined.

Adobe Illustrator is one of the important software products that I use on a regular basis due to the nature of my job in the marketing field. I consider this tool as the best in creating and editing vectors in the market by far. It has an almost unlimited number of features that allows me to make design materials for anything we needed in our department for marketing purposes like print or social media ads.

I am a full-time professional freelance photographer, so I use Adobe Illustrator heavily for design projects, which is an important part of my business. Illustrator allows me to easily work with vectors text, and it contains many tools that Photoshop does not have (Photoshop is the other software I primarily use in my business).

The Creative Team in Marketing at my company uses Illustrator for all types of design work, from conceptual mockups to finished designs. In conjunction with the whole Adobe Creative Cloud (especially InDesign and Photoshop), Illustrator enables us to quickly and beautifully create lightweight, but detailed design work to support our brand.

We use Illustrator for various projects that involve creating and manipulating graphics. I am new in my position, but so far this has included included logos and social media content. It has been useful in creating and editing these types of graphics and making them exportable for use on other platforms. Vector graphics are vital in good logo creation. I expect our use of Illustrator to evolve and expand in the future.

I use Adobe Illustrator for school and I used it at my previous job as a Graphic Designer. We would create flyers for events that were taking place around the school. All of the department used the program to create flyers for various projects and saved them in the Z drive. The program makes it easy to edit each other's work when employees save each part of their work in a separate layer.

Our marketing team uses Illustrator to mock up designs such as logos and other marketing material. We use it to send material to printers, mock up new designs and create vector images used in most of our brochures, spec sheets and advertisements.
