Adobe Illustrator classes aren't quite as popular as Photoshop and some of the other Adobe products but I think that might be a mistake, depending upon your industry. In a Birmingham Alabama creativity tour with Bert Monroy , I was able to see how well Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator could work together but it was until I went back to school did I realize how powerful Illustrator can be with the right training.
It is somewhat backwards to Photoshop users and that had a lot to do with, well everything to do with why I didn't give it a fair try.
Illustrator is designed to create light weight vector designs not bloated pixel creations. If you create artwork that needs to be reproduced in everything from tiny to huge Illustrator is your only smart way, although smart objects can help it is not replacement. Logos, web graphics, and more can be created and replicated with powerful Illustration tools.
If you are not familiar with a smart object, well you are missing quite a treat within Adobe's Photoshop CS3. I will save the big deal for another post. I will say the smart object tool will help you blow up images or parts of designs without it becoming to pixelated. It gives you a little wiggle room but don't confuse it with a true vector image. It is far from it. That is still Adobe Illustrator's domain.
