Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Illustrator CC
We use Adobe Illustrator CC in our Marketing department. We use it to create infographics, icons, and original illustrations. Our business uses a lot of concepts that are hard to find stock graphics of online, so Illustrator gives us the flexibility and advanced tools required to create our own assets.
- Ability to easily create vector graphics from scratch
- Tons of customization
- Ability to import and export from other Adobe products like Photoshop and InDesign
- High learning curve
- Occasional bugs during saving
- Can be demanding on computer system resources
- We are now able to create original illustrations for our marketing campaigns rather than having to rely on stock graphics. A lot of our competitors don't do this, so it helps us stand out.
- We are now able to create original infographics rather than having to outsource this service. We save money by doing more in-house.
I use both Canva and Illustrator. Canva is great for 'quick and dirty' jobs like social media headers and quote graphics, but creating original illustrations is a nightmare in it. We use Illustrator when we have the time, because it's much more painless to create detailed and original vector graphics.
