Knowing when to use different software for design
When do we exactly need to use adobe’s photoshop, adobe illustrator, indesign or perhaps canva?
I distinguish mine by the exact design needed, the time allotted for a certain project, the level of difficulty of a particular design, and the limitations of the software.
