Adobe Illustrator CS 6
Adobe's Illustrator CS6 is the industry standard graphic design tool that is essential to designing illustrations, logos and vector graphics. The newly rebuilt engine of Adobe Illustrator CS6 enables you to rapidly create professional quality vector graphics for both web and print design with improved speed and stability, irrespective of the complexity of your files. What we love about Illustrator CS6 is its amazing set of brushes and awesome vector effects (especially the 3D effects) that help us to easily design Web 2.0 logos and web graphics. During web design we also use Adobe Illustrator in lieu of Adobe Fireworks for designing web graphics that are out of its capability to rapidly create and where Illustrator has inbuilt tools to quickly bring about a desired effect.
- Buy standalone software
- Adobe Illustrator CS6 is best bought as part of any Adobe Creative Suite 6 (Design Standard, Design & Web Premium or Master Collection)
Adobe Contribute 6.5
Adobe's Contribute 6.5 enables you to quickly and easily update your website/blog while maintaining the look and feel imposed by Adobe Dreamweaver templates.
