I have become quite adept at Photoshop now, and have just learn how to create Vector images. I hear some people talking about Illustrator and how it is much more useful for this kind of stuff. But what does it actually do? Is it worth the money?

I personally prefer Photoshop I can stand Illustrator, I don't know what it is but it just doesn't do it for me. I am to used to Photoshop to use anything else.

Photoshop is for painting and photo editing with very few vector tools.

Illustrator is for vector drawing only. All logos by industry standards need to be done in vectors so that printers can print out at any size. So for logo designers and people who prefair that vector or cartoon look are going to be far more creative with Illustrator. You can do a logo 2cm across on the screen and it will still print out at A1 size with perfect quality. For Photoshop to do that you would have to make the original logo the size of your office wall. I can email a logo done illustrator in seconds to my clients but i'ff I only had photoshop I would have to send it as a nmassive image on CD. Designers who supply logos to their clients as bitmap images only, are bad designers.
