You want to create your own logos, icons, typography, etc. ? Then you might be interested in Adobe Illustrator. It is undoubtedly one of the best known programs, and it is thanks to it that the concept of “vector drawing”, referring to digital images composed of geometric shapes and objects, has become popular. Illustrator is part of Adobe Creative Cloud and its files have the extension .ai.
To know how to get this software and use it from your Windows computer, Mac, or tablet then follow this tutorial.
How to get Adobe Illustrator?
To equip yourself with Illustrator, you must subscribe to one of the Adobe subscriptions, with monthly or annual payment. It comes with cloud storage and continuous updates.
You can also subscribe to the complete Adobe suite: All Creative Cloud, it includes Illustrator, but also Indesign, Photoshop, Acrobat, Premiere Pro...
This includes, in addition to Adobe Illustrator software, 100 GB of cloud storage, Adobe Portfolio, Adobe Fonts and Adobe Spark with premium features.
On the other hand, the more reasonable alternative, if you only need Illustrator, is the single application subscription.
How much does Adobe Illustrator cost?
If you're only interested in Adobe Illustrator, then subscribe to the one-app, monthly plan for $35,99/month.
If you prefer to benefit from it for a year, then the subscription amounts to 23,99 € / month and 287,77 € in single payment.
Whichever you choose, head over to this Adobe page to sign up.
Use Adobe Illustrator for free
