Chances are, anyone looking at your piece, isn't going to be able to tell what software application you used to produce it. Using Illustrator doesn't mean your piece will look less impressive than had...

The amount of text in the flier would be the determining factor for me. If there are any paragraphs of text, I would automatically use InDesign for its superior text handling.

Hi Neil, unfortunately I haven't seen either of those publications in Tokyo. However the Communication Arts website provides plenty of links to professionals with their work. Thanks!

True. Foe example, some know their way around Powerpoint and use it as a graphics app as well as a presntation tool! Not good!Ian

Hello? Real world calling... If Ian knows his way around Illustrator what's wrong with using a software he knows? Moving from Ill. to InDesign is not as quickly done as Adobe claims. -and of course...
View ArticleRe: Best for making event flyers: InDesign or Illustrator?
I think what Neil was suggesting baad, is not to use just ANY app for the job if you know it. In other words, Photoshop is not the best tool for the job, so the advice, use whatever you know, is not...

From experience, I've found that in China and Japan, Illustrator (especially a lot of older versions of Illustrator) seem to be a favorite of printers. QuarkXPress and InDesign are less commonly used....
