That means that anything created in Illustrator can be scaled to teeny-tiny favicon thumbnails or ginormous Times Square billboards—all without losing any quality or adding any weird pixelation. A design created in Illustrator will look identical on a business card or a bus wrap. When you think print, think Illustrator.
Plus, the freeform, flexible artboard workspace makes it easy to dream up and experiment with ideas before you finalize them—all in the same place. Illustrator is powerful, but just like Photoshop it has its own set of limitations.
Take a look at when Illustrator will be your bestie, and when you might need to find another friend to hang with. Pretty much anything with large amounts of text should go straight into InDesign. But Illustrator can layout text too, right?
Yeah, but InDesign kicks that up a notch—and then some. InDesign allows you to set-up master page templates so page designs are instantly unified throughout the entire document. Pages are numbered automatically and can easily be re-ordered, duplicated and swapped.
Text styles, columns, margins and other features specific to publishing are also much more robust. InDesign was built with some very specific uses in mind. Want great work? Use the right tool. Want kick-ass, amazing, mind-blowing work?
Learn how to combine all of the features of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. These apps can all work together seamlessly to create designs that blow everyone away.

Photoshop is designed for editing and creating photos or raster-based art. When the program was developed it was for photographers, but over time the program has grown to help all kinds of artists to do many different kinds of work.
Now Photoshop is known to create interface designs, web pages, banner ads, video graphics, and the original use of editing and creating images for print. Photoshop is known to be able to do so much and be so easy to learn that it is looked at as a one stop shop, but Photoshop is not the best program for all types of artwork and design. Illustrator works off vectors, these are points used to create perfectly smooth lines.
This program is for creating and editing vector-based work such as graphics, logos, and other design elements. Vectors are scalable images that can be sized as small or as large are you need them to be, but look the same when it comes to clarity and resolution. Illustrator is not ideal for creating multi-page documents and using the program this way would create some drawbacks. This is another feature InDesign supports, which can be especially useful when dealing with larger documents.
Photoshop is a bad program to use when creating logos, it will do nothing but cost you time and money. Creating a logo in Photoshop cannot be enlarged or manipulated in the same manner that an Illustrator based logo can. Type will print clearest at vector-based rendering. Illustrator is now seen as a tool for both graphic designers and digital artists to create many different types of digital products.
Both are now part of Adobe's powerful Creative Cloud suite. But which is better for specific tasks — and which is better overall? Obviously, the answer will depend on the specific situation, but here I'll lay out a broad overview of which tool I think generally works best in which case. If your experience differs, please share your views in the comments below the article! While both programs here 'can' create a logo, you need to think about maintainability and uses of your logo. While its initial sizes may be predefined a logo needs to be resized and reshaped accordingly as it's likely to be used many times on many different materials.
A bitmap graphic created in Photoshop cannot be resized without pixilation or loss of quality. With that in mind, using Illustrator means your logo will be a vector object which is not part of a bitmap. Meaning it can be reshaped and resized while retaining all of its quality. Photoshop does have a place in logo design but for the most part, Illustrator should always be your first choice. For many designers including myself Photoshop is usually the first choice here.
As Photoshop graphics sit on a pixel based bitmap it would seem like the only choice for designing on screen media.
However, when designing user interfaces, Illustrator can provide many advantages that Photoshop cannot. Firstly, using Illustrator here makes the job a lot faster - there's the obvious resizing points. Illustrator is also great for creating reusable components.
