Re: FN-FORUM freehand vs illustrator

date posted 3rd December 2001 10:04

I used to be a freehand junkie but the place I worked at used Illustrator
and I've been stuck on that since ver7. Freehand used to have the upper hand
for a mix of drawing and page layout stuff but then now I do the same stuff
in Illustrator.
I've heard about (but never used) freehand's amazing ability to flick
artwork into Flash...
So I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. Also you said you use
Photoshop; the Illustrator interface is then just a simple step to
understand.
