  • ow i miss floppy disks

  • Happy Silver Anniversary, Illustrator! Adobe Illustrator turns 25 on March 1, 2012. Thanks, John Warnock, for transforming an entire industry.

  • @thenunez96 Lol

  • I can remember watching complex drawings like the car with the engine and guts taking several minutes to refresh and at one point-- with CorelDraw 3 on a really slow PC thinking "with a bit of planning, a person could make animation with a complex vector drawing that takes forever to load..." Then web went wild, swish came out and Flash nailed the Internet-- those were the days!

  • @nougat98 my experience goes back to the early 90's and discovering vector based graphics first on the Amiga... and then onto Visio when it was shareware and CorelDraw starting at 3.0 in 1994... the emphasis was highly on tracing because people comfortable with vector based drawing programs were CAD program users and it was "out of my league" for most users. Today, though: to be competitive you need vector, raster, and photo "shop" skills-- photography or videography a bonus. Adobe is awesome!

  • i love the badass pc he has back there! XD

  • i remember this tape - interesting how the emphasis was all about tracing

  • @j0han1 It did evolve. I believe in either CS3 or CS4 it was integrated into the program's Live Trace feature. However, I've found it's still not that great and you're better off using another vectorization program or have it done by a third-party company.

  • Did Adobe Streamline ever evolve or did it turn out to be a non-working concept?
