What is Illustrator?

Illustrator is Adobe's vector editor, first released in 1987. Shapes are paths rather than pixels, so logos, icons and illustrations stay sharp at any size and export cleanly to SVG for the web.

How I use Illustrator

At Design Republik I made the mockups for the sites I designed in Illustrator and Photoshop, among them UWI Cosmetics and Restaurante Pim's.
