As part of an effort to start moving towards more freelance work, I began working on a design for personal business cards today. I’ve never done much serious print work. When I worked on business cards and letterhead at work, I mostly used CorelDRAW since it was available and it was the format used for most of the original graphics. But after hearing such good things about Adobe Illustrator from Mark, I thought I would give that a try, thinking my Photoshop knowledge would carry over to Illustrator more than it actually did. Despite the sometimes quirky differences between the two programs, there are a lot of similarities, and it didn’t take too long to start picking up on the way things work. I had a lot of fun working on those business cards today, and it has given me the urge to start doing all kinds of print projects now.
