As a tool long commended for on-the-go ideas, the iPad is finally getting the app it was built for. On Wednesday, Adobe announced that Illustrator for the iPad has opened for pre-orders.
Adobe says the app flows as precisely as using a pen on paper, allowing you to create lines, shapes, gradients, effects, and typography intuitively.
While the industry’s choice software for graphics design is a natural addition for the stylus-enabled system, Adobe reimagined the app for both the iPad and Apple Pencil with input from the creative community. Quick gestures on the Apple Pencil, for instance, let you quickly merge or cut elements to delete unwanted areas.
Version 1.0 of Illustrator on the iPad, which Adobe teases as “just the beginning” of an array of innovations, brings over 17,000 fonts, about two dozen color palettes, guided tutorials, as well as livestreams conducted by industry leads. You’ll also discover all-new effects including “point gradients, radial repeats, patterns, and symmetry.”
Creative Cloud subscribers will be able to install the app for free once it is made available.
Of course, as part of the Creative Cloud suite, work created with Illustrator on the iPad will be automatically synced to the cloud to be accessed from other devices. You’ll also be able to work on the project across Photoshop and Fresco, iPad’s painting app.
The app can now be pre-ordered through the iPad on the App Store.
