I feel Photoshop/Illustrator and 2D design in general is one of the only industries that has been pretty much stagnant for 15 years or so due to monopolies.
Compare it to 3D where artists are drowning in new tools and techniques every year, any movement in this space is a good thing.
Worth remembering there was a time when the heal brush didn't exist, a time when the clone brush didn't exist and even a time where the physical airbrush didn't exist.
- agumonkey 10y agoIllustration doesn't need much tech. It has more to do with human emotions and symbols.
- intoverflow2 10y agoFYI although it's called Illustrator it's used for everything from actual illustration to iconography, to web/app design to even basic type layout.
- agumonkey 10y agoI kinda know that, spent extreme amounts of time on everything graphical be it 2D, 3D, animated, synthesis, procedural generation. And 2D work is not really tech related; it's closer to an old art. Kinda like logos, it's hard to express a logical relationship in a composition. A few details away you go from amazing to lame.
