Image Trace's high-fidelity mode converts scanned hand-drawn logos into clean vector paths that scale to billboard size without degradation. Vectorizing a client's 30-year-old raster logo in minutes rather than days of manual redraw is invaluable.
Building complex icon shapes through Pathfinder operations on basic geometric primitives is faster and more geometrically precise than drawing complex paths directly. Our icon library of 600 symbols was constructed almost entirely with Pathfinder unite and minus front.
Illustrator's Variable Font support lets our editorial team explore the full weight-and-width design space of a typeface interactively. Headline typography that previously required switching between multiple font weights now adjusts fluidly through the axis slider.
Designing all social media formats, web banners, and print ads for a campaign on a single Illustrator artboard canvas gives our team the cross-format visibility needed to maintain visual consistency. Batch exporting all formats with Asset Export takes seconds.
