Using Adobe Illustrator to create the design of this website was a big bonus. The website is clean and simple with vectored images inside the shapes. The website is simple and allows the user to navigate easily. The two colors, orange and blue, really work well together and tie in the entire website.

Timothee Cottier

This website is a personal website for one man, and he really combined small images to make his website a hit. He used the three colors of the Superman on the backdrop of his website, and had his portfolio images on the front page which is easy to get to. Using Adobe Illustrator to make the images made them look professional while still fun, and the vectors make the image clean instead of blurry.

Using Adobe Illustrator for Web Design

To design web layouts, Adobe Illustrator can be used for sharp, clear images that are based off pixels. By applying a blank website page as a locked background, it can be the boundaries that you use when designing. If you use keyboard increments of 0.5 pixels you can easily smooth up a blurry picture of shape with a click of a button. 

Want a clean cut logo of design image? Easily create unique textures in Illustrator and add them to the design. Simply save them as graphic styles which can be added to websites, and you can be certain that they will be vectored and a clear image.

Even simple details created on Illustrator can save you a bunch of time during your actual web designing and will add to the design of the finished project. Doing simple tasks on Illustrator like 3D buttons with color or texture can go a long way. After designing a button, for example, just add it to the symbols panel and then when completed save as a graphic style again. Illustrator is even used for HD text. 

Adobe Illustrator is a super efficient and simple way to add that extra jazz to your website without eating up your time like a program known as Dreamweaver. :)
