If you were given only these options, which would you prefer to use to create website mock-ups: Photoshop or Illustrator? Why?

Do Gooder · 18-03-2008, 09:19

ill illy. right tool for the job.

photoshop is designed for retouching pictures - it's layout tools come a poor second.

Let's just say that I'm trying to settle a bet and it is between those two products.

So far, including another resource I'm posing this question in:

Photoshop = 8
Illustrator = 3

Limbo · 18-03-2008, 11:01

Coops · 18-03-2008, 11:04

Jackets or mash?

d*d · 18-03-2008, 11:04

Oh for fucks sake, not this again - if you can use illustrator use that, if you can't use photoshop

Coops · 18-03-2008, 11:07

Apparently it's a thrilling bet.

herkalees · 18-03-2008, 11:09

Photoshop because I know it a whole lot better.

Photoshop because I know it a whole lot better and it seems easier to create pixel-perfect design with it.

Frankly, a lot of my design decisions come from tinkering with CSS.

dreamweaver vs. windows media player

herkalees · 20-03-2008, 16:16

Right. I think the results are clear 'nuff. Go about your bitching...

RaelRode · 20-03-2008, 18:43

I use Photoshop because I can (barely) use it.

But like others have said use whatever the hell you desire.
