Do you know that none of them can or do use the program? They built it in separate segments but have no idea how it works in real life, all together. <br /><br />Photoshop is the same. I asked for clarification of certain elements of Photoshop and none of them could answer the question as they haven't ever seen the program working.<br /><br />Code writers are a whole different breed.<br /><br />I love the work you are doing with Illustrator. And I can see that a career in graphic design was never in my genetic make up. I like pencils and pens and wobbly lines because I am messy by nature.<br /><br />Please do this again sometime as now that I know how these graphic designs are created, I will look at them more closely and admire them for the creative work they contain. And the time and effort.Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-55285600941643347362011-06-12T23:44:28.995-07:002011-06-12T23:44:28.995-07:00All of your design are really good!

I'm gradually getting the hang of it, and your example was really helpful - thanks. It seems to do more than Coreldraw, and I've always preferred vector drawing programmes to raster based ones, but I'm having to 'unlearn' Coreldraw as I go, which is taking almost as long as learning Illustrator! Can you recommend any good books or sites for lessons??Linda Foreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-84592134739326154922011-06-12T14:22:01.407-07:002011-06-12T14:22:01.407-07:00What a great program for applique.

It was wonderful fun to design, but when it came to making it, all the design decisions were made and it wasn't as much fun making it. So, I never did again, but I still use Illustrator to wok out design concepts. It's a great tool. You can see the quilt on my Flickr site www.Flickr.com/photos/jwindsoh It's called Hosta Dance<br />Janet WindsorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-79120926033258543662011-06-12T00:42:41.477-07:002011-06-12T00:42:41.477-07:00Wow Terry!

Not having a great deal of money to spend on software and since many of our home computers do not run MacOS nor Windows, I use the opensource software "Inkscape". As with many graphic design programs there is a learning curve, but once you know how to use one, it is far less difficult to learn the next.Jennifer Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969732891431085490noreply@blogger.com
