Basics Tools In Adobe Illustrator

The basics of adobe illustrator - Adobe illustrator is a drawing program that uses vector system . Maybe there are only 2 kinds of programs to draw vector is CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator . In the past , the first time I know vectors using CorelDraw . But after several times I participated in contest logo, I think the color resulting from coreldraw not as good as the color that results from adobe illustrator. Perhaps this is one of the deficiencies contained in coreldraw.

Since then, I am no longer using coreldraw and trying to learn adobe illustrator. For the first time using adobe illustrator I feel confused, although the tools are similar to coreldraw. But finally I could be comfortable using adobe illustrator and until now I still use it. For all of you who are just learning or using adobe illustrator and still confusion with existing tools, warkore.blogspot will provide a description of existing tools on the right and left of the worksheet in adobe illustrator.
