At $200/month, it'd take 14 months and cost me a total of 2632.34.
I didn't have that cash up front, so I was going to either a) wait to raise/save it, which is hard to do when you don't have the programs to use to make any money, or b) put it on a credit card, and pay 11% interest on it. To get all those programs, I could pay $5-600 each, or buy the Master Collection and get them all (and a few more). Right before Creative Cloud was introduced, I was about to buy the Master Collection, because as someone running my own design studio, my work often includes using Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, AfterEffects, and Audition - on occasion, all of them for a single client. I take issue with the "shitty subscription services" statement. and your teachers don't have time for teaching you even the basics (it's pretty much how I started out 15 years ago) and we're happy to help, but please do a little bit of googling before you ask the most basic questions, ok? It is not as good as Illustrator, and never will be, but if you're just starting out, and in many cases you don't even know the difference between vector and raster graphics, why not give Inkscape a chance? There are tons of tutorials and beginners' guides, again not as good as Illustrator's, and I'm sure it would be a better option for many of you.ĮDIT: Yes, I know you sometimes get a school assignment and there are computers with Illustrator in the computer lab, etc. There are free and open source alternatives for you, for example Inkscape. So what the hell are you doing with Illustrator? Why did you buy it? Or rather, why did you pirate it? It is a very expensive drawing application meant for professionals in their field. It is not "meant" (and I mean this in the way that is explained further down) for people who just want to have fun and "do cool stuff" and such. Now, I'm not pointing fingers, but there sure are a lots of people here who have no idea what they're doing, which is fine, but Abode Illustrator is not a cheap application.
