Which to Get : Adobe Illustrator / Freehand ?

pokerface · 15-10-2009, 03:14 PM

Hi all, please advise me which i should get -- Adobe Illustrator or Freehand? What's the difference between them?

I usually do my marketing collaterals artwork with Adobe Photoshop -- but when my printers ask for my working file, they tell me they prefer it in AI or Freehand...

I would recommend illustrator, Macromedia Freehand had been bought over by Adobe and they are slowly phasing it out.

your supplier give you photoshop file (jpeg/bmp/tiff) is bcos you have no chance to do any editing, you MUST go back to them.
Illustrator will be much more function than freehand, as wat i know, after file conversation to pdf, if originally frm freehand, can use illustrator to open, but if doing reverse side, dun think freehand can do so, hope can help you..
