If you’re a little confused, or you’d like to refresh your memory about the differences between Illustrator and InDesign, you can read my article A Brief Overview of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign here on the Freepik Blog to provide some insight on this topic. In short, Illustrator is used to create vector artwork, and InDesign is used for content media layout. In order to work with Illustrator as an alternative to InDesign, you should start by understand the primary differences between the two applications. Also, there isn’t an easy way to work on a document containing multiple pages. Photoshop can also be an alternative to InDesign, but large sets of text can be difficult to manage, and the transformation options in Photoshop are better suited for working with pixel based images and special effects. All the applications in the Creative Cloud Suite share similar esthetics, interfaces, and tool sets, so the transition between Photoshop and Illustrator seems to be the most natural of all the Adobe applications. Where Illustrator has its biggest advantage over InDesign in the graphic design community is its common layout with Photoshop, the most popular tool for graphic designers and photographers. For most people, Illustrator is a much less intimidating application to use due to its clearer and more graphical user interface. Most graphic designers and artists are trained on using Photoshop and Illustrator before they even know that InDesign exists. Both applications are vector based with great transformation tools. Illustrator is a great example of an alternative application to InDesign. Using the appropriate application for each task is important, but what if you don’t know how to use the appropriate application? This is where alternative applications can be useful. It’s no secret that Adobe makes it easy to work seamlessly between their native applications, making it easy to use the best program for the task at hand. I’m sure you all understand where I’m going with this. If you’re a print and layout specialist you may only be familiar with InDesign. If you’re a videographer you might live and breath by Premiere Pro and After Effects. If you’re a photographer you’re probably most comfortable in Photoshop. Your favorite application in the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite will most likely depend on what industry you’re working with.
