ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR
Illustrator is a vector-based graphic program used for creating clean illustration and vector-based manipulation of design drawings. Vector illustrations are resolution independent, meaning they are scalable without loosing image sharpness, unlike Photoshop which is resolution dependent. Illustrator is often used for graphic posters and presentations as well, and has recently incorporated perspective tools and even website image editing functions.
