Adobe Illustrator
***
This Adobe product is different from others in that it primarily works in vector art. This means that while you are building your work any zoom you do does not pixilate your work. A straight line will look like a straight line and a curved line will be a smooth curved line. This means you can also adjust the size of anything you've created without losing quality. When you save the work as a picture, like a .jpg or a .png for example, it will lose this ability but it does mean that you can make the image larger within Illustrator before saving which will up the quality of a larger image, as opposed to stretching it later. The tools are a little less user friendly than other adobe products at first. They will take some getting used to, but are powerful once learned. Like the other products I strongly recommend the trial version before a purchase. The trial and full product can be found here. Overall I would rate this product a 3 out of 5. It is very powerful for an animator or graphic designer but is expensive and less user friendly initially which can be frustrating for a first time user.
