Artboard

Artboard

Artboard is a vector graphic design software for Macs with capabilities beyond the basic fill and stroke design of other illustration software. The Style Editor allows you to design and edit stacked style designs for expert graphic designers. The software includes an online guide and tutorials with all of the information you need to get started making new and creative designs. Artboard includes almost 2000 editable styles and clip art elements, with the ability to add your own to the design library. Some other features included in the graphic design software are standard and isometric grids, core image filters, technical drawing tools, and multiple text styles. Review: Artboard is a relatively low cost option for graphic designers using vector drawing and editing. Despite the low cost, Artboard allows you to create impressive designs easily due to the wide range of design features and a user interface that is easy to learn. With Artboard, you can use vector design tools to make graphics and scale these graphics to any size without losing quality or distorting the image. You can create your own designs from scratch using Bezier curves of your own design, but the software also comes with built-in elements to help you get started. These elements include shapes, speech bubbles, clip art, and text, and all of the elements are easily inserted into the design using a drag and drop technology. It is also possible to edit and redesign these elements to make the design uniquely your own. Besides design elements, Artboard also offers templates for a variety of design needs, including invitations, flyers, posters, and business cards. When adding text to designs, you can curve or manipulate it into a path for even more design possibilities. The highlight of the Artboard software is the fact that it is so easy to use even for those who are not familiar with vector drawing and editing. You can learn how to use the features and create designs in a very short amount of time, and if you run across a problem the online guide can help you figure it out. There are also quite a few tutorials for learning new design techniques, as well.
