awesome awesome you don't want to sleep
on it let's go and get back to the video
now this is a non scripted video guys
I'm just going to try to help you guys
out and help you make the right decision
right now
when you learn so many different
programs at once you become the jack of
all trades but master of none and you
don't want to do that you want to learn
one program first and get really really
good at it and then move on to the next
program as soon as I got my hands on
Photoshop I learned it every single day
that's all I did was focus on Photoshop
and I got really really efficient and
good at it until I felt really
comfortable and then I moved on to
illustrator so again it depends on your
goal so here's what I want you guys to
do we're gonna keep this video super
simple I want you guys to focus on what
you want to do right now okay and then
I'm gonna give you guys a few case
scenarios in which program fits that
scenario if that makes sense so pause
the video real quick and once you pause
the video think about what your goals
are as a graphic designer
okay and I'll see you guys in a second
let's just pretend for a second that you
want to be a logo designer okay and you
want to make logos for companies and you
really want to take it serious
illustrator might be the better option
for you and the reason why Ella
straighter is a better option is because
not only is it industry standard but
companies that are looking for a logo
that are paying really good money for it
are going to want a vector file like EPS
and aí okay they're gonna want those
files so they have the highest quality
logo possible and they're not going to
accept anything less
so Photoshop
not be the option for you and keep in
mind if you go the illustrator route you
will be paying a subscription fee for
the Creative Cloud so you're going to
pay monthly to use Adobe Illustrator
okay and if you don't want to pay a
subscription you might want to look into
a Finity designer because affinity
designer is a hybrid program it does
raster and vector and you only pay one
price and you own the program forever
but keep in mind affinity designer is a
newer program so there are going to be
some things that they need to work on
like text warping and stuff like that
isn't as easy an affinity designer so
you have to just think about those kind
of things the good thing about affinity
designer is there is a trial that you
can sign up for and you can get the
program for free for a little bit and at
least see if you like it and that's what
I recommend you guys do I use
illustrator a lot more than Photoshop
nowadays for merge design and logo
design because I just think it's best to
give my clients the highest quality file
possible now if you're somebody that
does a lot of photo editing like photo
manipulation and all that good stuff
then you might want to use Adobe
Photoshop that might be the program for
you and if you guys don't want to pay
that subscription fee you can always go
with affinity photo which is pretty good
so if you're somebody that's budgeting
but you still want to get into photo
manipulation and that's the route you
want to take then definitely go with
affinity photo it's a great app and
you're not going to be disappointed I
personally choose Photoshop over
affinity photo just because I feel like
Photoshop is far more superior it just
has so much more updates all the time
and there's just so much more you can do
in it and I feel like it's easier to use
that's just my opinion
but again I don't use affinity apps all
the time so if you're somebody that's
watching this and you're already using
affinity apps and that's all you use
you're probably going to disagree with
me but I've been using Adobe products
since 2008 at the end of the day guys it
depends on your goals and what you're
going for again if you're a logo
designer if you're a merch designer if
you're somebody that needs to work with
vectors mainly illustrator or affinity
designer is going to be right for you
and on the other hand if you're doing
photo manipulation compositing and just
photo editing in general Photoshop and
affinity photo are gonna be the best for
you you just have to think about the
subscription fees with Adobe versus the
one-time fee with affinity so I hope
this video helped you guys make some
sort of decision today I know it was
kind of all over the place
I just I'm trying to get you guys to
understand that all programs are
definitely going to help you out and
help you achieve your goals it just
depends on what your goals are that's it
and that's going to help you choose the
program but that's it guys thank you so
