Adobe Illustrator is an art program. Unlike Photoshop, Illustrator uses mainly shapes and vector mapping. The best part of a vector map is that you can size any image up and down without it loosing resolution. When I started to use Illustrator we mainly focused on the shapes tool, the pen tool, and the shape builder tool. The shape builder tool allowed me to change shapes based off of other shapes, a good example of this is how the pepperonis are cut perfectly from the crust. The shapes tool is fairly simple, it took barely any time to learn, and was by far the most fun to mess around with. It had no limits to the shapes, you could make a star that has 100 vertices or a shape with 1000 edges. The pen tool on the other hand was a much more difficult task, but after playing around with the tool I found it to be easy to use and simple to use. The pen tool allows me to make shapes and lines other tools can't. It allows me to do anything with lines, I can curve them, fill them in and create shapes, the pen tool can do all of that. Illustrator offers an easy way to create 2D art work, it's fairly simple and can be used in a variety of ways. It can give a simple way to show/explain a product or a basic sketch of a video game. -A pizza I made in Adobe Illustrator.
