The Story Behind Adobe Illustrator (Part 1 of 3) | Adobe Creative Cloud



When Adobe Illustrator first shipped in 1987, the new product not only altered Adobe’s course, it changed drawing and graphic design forever. See how Adobe Co-Founder John Warnock first conceived of Illustrator as a PostScript drawing tool and how PostScript’s Bézier curves could be applied to the shapes illustrators painstakingly created by hand. This is Chapter 1 in a series of three videos on the story of Adobe Illustrator.
