Create images using the numerous tools available with Adobe Illustrator.

If you're a professional designing images for your company or you enjoy creating images and documents as a hobby, this program offers everything that is needed from a basic layout to a range of colors that you might need for your projects. This program allows you to utilize your imagination when you create your designs. There is a variety of pens and brushes to use when drawing as well as a table of colors with numerous shades to choose from on the side of the screen. You can adjust the shade of the color that you want by scrolling up and down the table. Gradient effects, brightness, and contrast can be adjusted as well.

If you don't want a simple image on the screen, you can use one of the many filters that are available to add life to your creation. There are also dozens of special effects that can be used to enhance the colors and details of your images. Since there are so many tools available, the program can be a bit daunting. However, there are tips and ideas for ways to use the tools so that you can figure out how they work. There are also templates that you can follow until you are comfortable with creating your own images. A help section is available if you have detailed questions that need to be answered. There are a few changes that you might notice from other versions of the program or from other illustration programs. One is that there are live shapes. Another change is that you can preview your images before saving them or sharing them online. More font types are available with this program than you would find with other illustrators.
