The Story Behind Adobe Illustrator (Part 2 of 3) | Adobe Creative Cloud

When Adobe Illustrator was first released, many designers didn't believe a computer program could replace their T-squares, rubber cement, and technical pens. See how designers made the often painful, sometimes scary, sometimes delightful, change from traditional to digital tools, and along the way, rode the wave of the digital design revolution. This is Chapter 2 in a series of three videos on the story of Adobe Illustrator.
When Adobe Illustrator first shipped in 1987, the new product not only altered Adobe's course, it changed drawing and graphic design forever. See how Adobe Co-Founder John Warnock first conceived of Illustrator as a PostScript drawing tool and how PostScript's Bézier curves could be applied to the shapes illustrators painstakingly created by hand. This is Chapter 1 in a series of three videos on the story of Adobe Illustrator.
