Do I need Illustrator for this course?
It’s helpful to already have Adobe Illustrator installed before you start this course! This link will take you to their latest discounts. I highly recommend getting the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite if you want to become a stationery designer.
Why should I get the full Adobe Suite?
My favorite stationery design programs are Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop to design wedding invitations. I use all 3 of these design programs in combination to create beautiful wedding stationery for my clients!
Why do you use Illustrator for design?
I’ll talk a little about this in the first video, but Adobe Illustrator is my favorite program for creating wedding invitations. It’s easy to layout text, build shapes, and incorporate graphic elements. I love that you can move all the artboards (pages) around and see the entire picture of your design!
Photoshop is great for editing raster graphics (like photos and watercolors!) and InDesign is great for editing longer documents with multiple pages (like formatting envelope addressing).Â
