Since we can easily transfer graphics from Illustrator to Photoshop and InDesign, designers often use Illustrator to create vector type that they can then incorporate into projects in another program. For instance, you can create a nice type design within Illustrator, then add some extra effects in Photoshop. Although Illustrator is not really used for multiple-paged projects, many would agree that it is one of the most powerful applications for creating vector graphics, such as logos, and it is also often used for one-page documents, such as business cards, posters, or postcards. Choosing the right font, the perfect spacing and even the correct shape of text can be an important factor as to whether a project fails or succeeds.

Typography is not only an all-important aspect of design, it is also an art form in and of itself.
