SECOND7 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I come from a software dev background but getting in to web dev. And i dont have much experience with graphics. I hear Vector drawing is an important skill. Any ideas where to start with this ? I mean i have had limited art classes in the past. But im fairly good at sketching. which software do you recommend me starting on ? Illustrator, Freehand, fireworks ? and where can i get tutorials ? thanks _________________ mobility scooter Active Adult Community Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71170-vector-graphics/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUKKU Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 don't even bother with freehand, adobe has pretty much killed it. illustrator is the industry standard for vector graphics so it would probably help if you learned that. but you can be a web developer without ever having illustrator experience, especially if you do more on the programming side than design. i'm a web developer but personally i suck at graphics, so if the site i'm working on calls for anything more than a basic minimalist layout I hire a designer to come up with it. they focus on the design, i focus on the code, and i still get paid a decent amount Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71170-vector-graphics/#findComment-504950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurryt Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 oh; stinky, if you ever need a designer, I'm your man http://www.jurgt.nl for vector graphics? I'm in for vectorgasm. Just watch my portfolio, take an easy design and start to draw it in Illustrator (no freehand! nooo!)

derailed_spark Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 You can do without vector graphics if what you want to do is web design. Print design ... now that's another matter Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71170-vector-graphics/#findComment-1065445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
