Pros/Cons
Pros
- It is everything I need to create logos, stunning brochures and product sheets, and so much more. I am so happy with the overall experience and seamless integration with all the Adobe products.
- It's a fantastic option for anyone wishing to design professional-grade graphics because of its flexible dimensions and comprehensive set of tools and capabilities.
- What I liked most about this software is how helpful and beneficial it has been to me when it comes to my business. It has many amazing features, for such a great price.
Cons
- There is nothing to dislike about Illustrator apart from the fact that the first time you fire up the program, the "getting started" page pops up which is undesirable and also impacts RAM usage.
- I dislike how cramped the software can feel even with the option to change around were things are located stuff just seems to be lost easily.
- I hate having to pay to use it. I only use the program occasionally, and I have to sign up for a whole month to use the thing for sometimes only a few minutes at a time, every few months.
Pros
- It is the best tool to use in the creative process and bring graphic pieces to life with excellence.
- It is fabulous and easy to use for all. Price is affordable for mid range people easy to buy through online.
- I liked the freedom and flexibility a creator can have while using Photoshop. It provides full opportunity to the user to whatever they want to create.
Cons
- Photoshop and the Adobe Suite are crazy expensive. It is hard to fork out that much money for these products especially when you only use a couple.
- As it deals with pixels. Vector work looks bad when we enlarge the pictures.
- Hard to format text as it also looks bad. Till the version CS6 they offer one time purchase license.
