I thought InDesign was meant for multiple-page publications, so this contradicts what I was taught. The professional graphic designer who's helping me says that he would use Illustrator for this over InDesign. For an extra-curricular project, I'm helping design a short publication (~60 pages).However, that may be their bias of not being familiar with it. All my classmates' opinions of InDesign are that it's a lot harder to use and more useless compared to Illustrator.I'm more familiar with Illustrator, although I've had a bit of experience with InDesign, and some of the experiences I've had/opinions I've heard are making me wonder which software is more valuable to focus my time on learning. Hello! I'm a post-secondary student studying graphic design, and trying to gauge industry perspectives on these two softwares.

But it’s best to give yourself ways to have more fun ways to create art.Shared work must have a comment for context and use the green "Sharing Work" flair. There’s always learning curves down the line. Never lock yourself into one creative program. Coz at least it’s only one time purchase. You can get procreate down the line also good. You can try that out first if it suits your workflow. And it can send the artwork files you’re drawing to your illustrator. If you’re subscribed to Adobe creative cloud, you automatically have illustrator iPad included for free. iPad Air is your best option with Apple Pencil 2 for art creation. It’s not like Adobe don’t have the budget to do so. CSP is a fully kitted one too for the iPad. Why do they need to reimagine Illustrator for the iPad like it’s some companion app to the desktop version.Īffinity Design is a fully build almost as same as the desktop version. Adobe Draw, Adobe Fresco, Then finally comes Adobe Illustrator, I’m just baffled how they don’t want to make a proper desktop class app in the iPad? So the desktop sales won’t get butchered. I’m a illustrator user on desktop for work. Limitations? Layers have limits based on your artboard size. There’s no so much tools (although they are all there for convenience) cluttering your screen. Hope this helps! Sorry for the long ass review I just also made this tough decision but I’m very happy I saved about $1200 and am learning an industry standard software But illustrator is an industry standard AND has the vector art aspect so if you’re building a resume or just want to have designs that could work on t shirts/large prints etc it’s the way to go. That all being said: if you have a luxury spending limit procreate is completely acceptable and good for producing quality stuff, I’ve watched countless YouTube videos of people making mind blowing art with it. Procreate has a pretty decent select area function and color dropping to consistently fill large numbers of space. One thing I will say is coloring isn’t as intuitive in illustrator as it is in procreate. If I didn’t have the learning issue against me I think it would be such a significant improvement over procreate I would never have touched it. The only issue I’m running into is the learning curve of using illustrator, however the lines are SO much higher in quality. The Huion cost me $300 and is a massive work area upgrade from the tiny iPad I used to work on. I already have a desktop with 16gb ram and a decent graphics card. My personal thinking against the newest iPad is that it is about $1600+ depending on what model you get. It really isn’t a huge issue, but if you’re looking for something for professional work it could be a problem (unless like I said you invested in the top of the line iPad) On my basic iPad I would have to boost my canvas size well over 3000 x 2500+ with a dpi of 300+ to stop it from instantly looking blurry and squared on every edge. If you get an iPad Pro top of the line model you’ll have decent drawing space and the ram needed to create pretty depthy detailed projects.Ĭons: If your iPad is not the top of the line you run the risk of having very pixelated looking work. Pros of procreate: it is extremely user friendly, simplistic and easy to create great illustrations. I went from using procreate daily to now using illustrator! I literally just went from procreate on a basic iPad (7th gen 10inch) to a Huion 16 Kamvas pro.
