What Illustrator Does
• Creates Vector Art.– Vector Art is different from Raster art that
uses pixels to create and image; Vector uses ‘handles’ that creates an object that can be enlarged to a very large scale and not come blocky, pixilated, or fuzzy.
Allows the user to create and modify shapes by using anchor points.
