This week I’d like to pay homage to an Application that has changed the way the world works. Adobe PhotoShop…

Show of hands how many of you use this App???

Back when I was in college I used to work in the Digital Art classes. I was the guy sitting in the back of class that was supposed to answer all the questions and stuff. (so much for that, I’ve seen things now that make me feel silly) Well, that was back when psd7 was the shit. I still only use psdCS, I just don’t have the money to get the top of the line.

I’ve thought about this many times, “if PhotoShop didn’t exist something else probably would have taken it’s place.” And even still I’m sure there are some Programs out there that can take PhotoShop in a cage match. Thing is, Adobe seems to have done it first, and they seem to have done it right.

What Application do you have on your desktop that you should probably take out to dinner?

here’s mine

Adobe Illustrator. This is one of my favorite programs ever!!! I spent the day working on a design that needed some vector love. It’s been a while since I even opened this program, and now I remember how much there is to do and create. (oh, how I miss it)

I’m not sure if most of you are familiar with this Program, but it’s a vector based application. Basically it’s mathematical equations using anchor points and stress on lines. Not to mention all the gradients and color applications. I guarantee that over 75% of all the graphics you see everyday have some form of vector graphic in them.

Here are a couple of oldies, but goodies.

Doesn’t this look yummy!!!?
