Where Adobe Illustrator fits
Use it when illustrations must scale cleanly across print and digital sizes.
Check before you choose
Check font and artwork licensing as well as the application's subscription requirements.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
The right workflow starts with the type of asset you need. RAW development, vector illustration, layered image editing and 3D modeling each have different file and hardware requirements.
