I found a use for illustrator.

So, I have this friend who is really good at directing and musicals and such, and he is now working at our high school doing just that. They are doing "Zombie Prom" this fall and wanted me to make a poster for auditions. Which, is cool. My instructions were "I want, like, purple and green, and 11x14, and an atom, something that will get high schoolers' attention" along with the information of course. I usually draw things up by hand, copy them, outline them, then scan them for use in photoshop. However, I came home from college this weekend for a doctor's appointment and didn't have my scanner. Thus is my life. Before last night I had never even opened illustrator, I thought it was just this weird confusing thing, and why would anyone use it when you have photoshop? But, I had to make an atom. That is when I turned to illustrator, and I have a whole new appreciation for it, though I still do shading and everything other than "drawing" on photoshop, illustrator does exist for a reason.
