The creativity is the person who uses the tools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The history of the application includes notable milestones in graphic design. The introduction of <a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/illustrator\/how-to\/work-with-artboards.html\">Artboards<\/a> allowed creatives the flexibility to adapt designs to different sizes for print or screen. <a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/illustrator\/using\/reshape-with-live-corners.html\">Live Corners <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/illustrator\/how-to\/live-shapes.html\">Live Shapes<\/a> gave creatives the ability to manipulate width, height, and corner radius properties directly on the objects themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Adobe became an early developer of <a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/illustrator\/how-to\/export-svg.html\">Scalable Vector Graphics<\/a> (.SVG) for the web with Illustrator.<a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/illustrator\/atv\/cs6-tutorials\/understanding-64-bit-support.html\"> 64-bit migration<\/a> and GPU rendering increased the speed of rendering for users almost tenfold. Last year, Adobe introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/creativecloud\/adobe-illustrators-export-for-screens-saves-you-time-big-time\/\">Export for Screens<\/a>, allowing creatives to save and export graphics in multiple sizes and formats with just one step.<\/p>\n<p>As well as celebrating the anniversary, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/wishform.html\">Adobe is asking users what they hope to see next in Illustrator CC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Adobe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[embedyt] http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1gaCKT_Ncdk[\/embedyt]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Revolutionising graphic design when released on the Mac, Adobe Illustrator is thirty this year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":10445,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2796],"tags":[2532,2218],"class_list":["post-10444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-design-illustration","tag-adobe-illustrator","tag-graphic-design-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
