What are your feelings of illustrator? Is it good? Does anyone know where to get illustrator for free? TIA!
Yes it's good, almost the graphic designers use it. I also prefer Corel Draw but Illustrator is good too.
There is no free legal distribution that I'm aware of. I paid for mine. It'd be pretty low to steal it from adobe when there are open-source(free) programs like inkscape that will work just as fine, if not better. I am a designer. I use illustrator, but I also use inksacpe because compared to inkscpae, illustrator's just a toy. free legal download for any operating system here: inkscape.org good luck!
Illustrator's a must for any print work. You can get away with using raster images on the web, but if you want it to look real clean, it's best to go with a vector program like Illustrator. Also, you can download a free 30 day trial from adobe's site and see if you want it or not.
