Photoshop is great for laying out designs, and Illustrator is good for creating vector assets that one will use inside of a design. I don't think the 2 should be compared under the premise that one should replace the other.

Nice SNL reference, not sure how many people got that. Funny article, both powerful programs. Seriously, Art is made by people not programs, neither one is better creatively, but they have their strengths for situations.

"photopoop" tee hee

Seriously though, a proper grown up knows that no one program can stand alone. The computer and it's associated "Adobe Awesome" is just a tool and only helps you to realise your idea once it's been formed in the tiny tunnels of your brain.

Other people already made this point though.

Also did you draw the illustrations for this post in Ps or Ai?

Yeah PS definitely better for designing websites than AI. So many times I've come across the problem of an AI web design that looks great when printed out but when rasterized to 72 DPI you can't read the fonts, see images etc. PS lets you see exactly what the website will look like at screen resolution.

Well, it seems like everyone either loves it, or hates it. I guess we at LEAST scored in the category of PASSIONATE. I'm glad our readers have strong opinions.

Don't worry – lots more serious professional posts coming. That – and part two of this battle (VERY SOON!)
