Design and Illustration software

Although its name clearly implies a close relationship with photography, Adobe Photoshop is widely used as an illustration and design tool. Photoshop has also excelled as a color separation tool for prepress and photochromy jobs. Cartoonists and Illustrators find the possibility of using pressure sensitive tablets with Photoshop a huge asset. Architects use Photoshop to embellish their perspective drawings. Industrial designers and 3d artists can correct and enhance their 3d rendering. Pixel perfect images are created by icon and web designers. This section is a guide to different art and design resources, such as books, software, fonts, clipart and tutorials to help you to build a creative way of thinking and working.
