How to make vector images?

Someone please tell me how i can create a logo which is in vector format?

can i do it in photoshop cs4?

Thanks

 

you cant create vector art in photoshop because it is not a vector program. You can however create vector art in adobe illustrator

 

Adobe Flash can also create some vector work as well. And I'm sure there's other 3rd party program you can find.

 

well...
you can darw on Corel, or adobe illustrator.

but, you could try drawing on photoshop and then convert it with adobe illustrator..

 

Corel Draw and Adobe Ilustrator are the best for vector images.

Common vector image formats are: .AI,.cdr, .EPS, .SVG

In Photoshop you can make a vector if you have made an image from a scratch with saving as an EPS file. If working fith a flat image (JPG) you should create a CLIPPING PATHs, export the paths and save it as EPS file. This is a short explanation. There are other software that can convert raster to vector images also

 

I use illustrator

 

I guess it really depends on what you are looking to do with it, but the most simple way would be adobe illustrator

 

Yes adobe illustrator is the way to go.

 

you can use photoshop but you have to make the design with pin tool since it provides the shapes in vector format

 

with adobe illustrator. That's the best option

 

thanks for adding that in

 

AI AI AI
STILL LEARNING this program...but love it for vectors

 

with adobe illustrator you can feel like an artist read this article about what is adobe illustrator

 

not sure but was Illustrator mentioned here?

The cool thing about Illustrator and PShop is you can create and size the image in AI and then drag and drop it in PS(unless you are looking to do print only at a high resolution which wouldn't be a good option.) convert it to a smart object and adjust at will.

Again regarding print versus web, make sure you are using the correct color formatting (CMYK vs. RGB)

 

Illustrator is the industry standard these days, but InkScape is a good freeware program or so I've heard. I typically do everything in Flash though.

 

I would use flash if you dont have much experience with vectors, the learning curve with flash is preety easy and there is TONS of tutorials and communities online focased on it.

 

you can design a vector image using adobe illustrator and photoshop as well. But mostly i used illustrator in creating vector image.

 

For vector graphics at a reasonable price use Xara Xtreme (pro).
It has all features of programs like Corel Draw and Illustrator, but at a more low price level.

Only if you need to do a lot of detail work, or convert a lot of bitmaps to vector, I would recommend Corel.

 

PCZ... Killer avatar yo.

 

Illustrator is the best for creating vector files.
