00;00;04;16 - 00;00;07;20 Understanding illustrator versus InDesign. 00;00;07;20 - 00;00;08;29 In these modules. 00;00;08;29 - 00;00;12;12 we'll be using two programs from the Adobe Creative Suite. 00;00;12;14 - 00;00;14;10 Illustrator and InDesign. 00;00;14;10 - 00;00;18;06 Let's look at the differences between the two programs and how they work together. 00;00;18;18 - 00;00;22;01 InDesign is a desktop publishing software that's great 00;00;22;01 - 00;00;26;20 for multi-page layouts for both print and digital media, think reports, 00;00;26;20 - 00;00;30;19 brochures, magazines, e-books, and interactive PDFs. 00;00;30;19 - 00;00;35;03 InDesign allows for precise control over columns, grids, and alignment, 00;00;35;03 - 00;00;39;13 and that makes it ideal for long documents with lots of text. 00;00;39;21 - 00;00;43;25 Illustrator is a vector graphics editor for things like logos, 00;00;43;25 - 00;00;47;18 icons, infographics, and complex illustrations. 00;00;47;20 - 00;00;50;21 It has powerful drawing tools that allow you to create 00;00;50;21 - 00;00;54;13 graphics that are scalable to any size without losing quality. 00;00;54;13 - 00;00;58;22 It's also great for single page designs like social media graphics. 00;00;59;04 - 00;01;02;06 Illustrator and InDesign are designed to work together. 00;01;02;10 - 00;01;04;13 you can design graphics and illustrator 00;01;04;13 - 00;01;07;27 and then import them into InDesign for layout composition. 00;01;08;09 - 00;01;12;24 When you import an illustrator file into InDesign, the files are linked, 00;01;13;00 - 00;01;16;24 which means that when the illustrator file is modified, the linked file in 00;01;16;24 - 00;01;21;07 the InDesign document can be automatically updated to reflect these changes. 00;01;21;07 - 00;01;24;13 this is a really important tool for streamlining your workflow. 00;01;24;13 - 00;01;25;19 So in summary, 00;01;25;19 - 00;01;28;25 you use InDesign when you're working on a multi-page document 00;01;28;25 - 00;01;31;28 or layout that requires detailed text formatting. 00;01;32;00 - 00;01;35;08 Illustrator is then used for logos, vector graphics, 00;01;35;08 - 00;01;39;15 illustrations, and single page designs like social media graphics.
