5 New Amazing Tools in Adobe Illustrator CS5
We are very excited about the new Adobe Illustrator CS5. We found an awesome video that shows some of the new amazing tools. One of our favorite new tools in Illustrator CS5 is the Perspective Tool, I think that’s a genius tool and very helpful. Getting angles of perspective right has always been a somewhat tedious task with endless reference drawings needed etc. Now Illustrator pulls up a great interactive grid for use. Go Adobe! Take a look at the video below to see all the tools listed below.
1) The Perspective tool
2) Variable Stroke Width Tool
3) Shape Builder Tool
4) Drawing Mode – Draw Inside
5) Bristle Brush
