Adobe Illustrator is a design programme that allows you to express yourself using forms, colour, effects, and typography. Create attractive designs that can be used anywhere—print, web and applications, video and animations, and more—across desktop and mobile platforms. Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor and design tool created by Adobe Inc. and distributed worldwide. Adobe Illustrator was first developed in 1985 for the Apple Macintosh computer.

Manual methods are replaced by 2D drafting and drawing, which allows the entire design process to be streamlined. It can be used for architectural plans, mechanical drawings, and technical drawings, among other things. 3D modelling is the process of manipulating edges, vertices, and polygons in a simulated 3D environment to create a mathematical coordinate-based representation of any surface of an object (inanimate or living) in three dimensions using specialist software.

In filmmaking and video production, visual effects (often abbreviated VFX) is the process of creating or manipulating graphics outside of the framework of a live-action shot. VFX is the process of combining live-action footage with additional live-action film or CGI elements to generate realistic visuals. With the emergence of economical and generally easy-to-use animation and compositing tools, visual effects using computer-generated imagery (CGI) have become increasingly accessible to indie filmmakers.
