How can i built some good Graphics for my website???

Photoshop is a raster graphic tool and Illustrator is a vector graphic tool. So each of them are used for two different purposes. Both are seems to be equal with their aspects, but you must remember the fact that the Photoshop is used for creating and editing photograph stuff and Illustrator is used for create and editing printing stuff.

First of all you must understand the difference between vector and raster.

Vector Graphics:  Based on mathematical equations.

Ex: Geometrical primitives (polygons, shapes, curves, lines and point)

Raster Graphics: Based on pixels with their color.

Ex: Photographs, scanned images.

Vector	Raster
Best for technical drawing/ illustrations Fully editable	Best for real world pictures  Fully editable picture environment details.
Small size	Large size
Resolution independent No impact when resizing/ zooming	Resolution dependent Impact when resizing/ zooming

So it will differ which software you have to use according to your requirement.

Photoshop – image processing and manipulation software. Ideal solution for edit digital images of photographs.

• Picture adjustments

Brightness/Contrast, Color Balance, Levels, Hue/Saturation, etc.

• Filter effects

There is vast number of effects which makes your picture as a stylized image.

• Manual adjustments

Blurring, Burning, Sharpening, Dodging, Cloning, etc.

Illustrator – Functioning generally with curved paths so called as Beziers curves connected with editable anchor points. Used to create Logos, Brochures, Backgrounds, etc.

Points to remember

• When using Photoshop try to make it bigger. It will help to reducing blurring of pixels occurred during resizing and zooming.
• As Illustrator using mathematical calculations, there will be no difficulties arising when resizing and zooming. Always the image is clean and clear.

So this is the basic stuff about PS and AI. So decision is yours. You can use the tutorials provided from their main sites http://www.photoshop.com/ and http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html

But remember, as you are going to work with the web, image size is more important. You must always use the feature ‘save for web’ in both software’s and check the kbps amount of the picture. If you are think Adobe is more advanced, try to use Corel Draw and Photo Paint. For a long time Corel Products has been a leader in the path of Vector graphics.
