ADOBE FREEHAND

Adobe FreeHand is a vector-based drawing package which you can use to quickly design and present stunning graphics for print, web, and projects created with Flash. Powerful design and illustration features let you create visually rich, completely editable graphics, while extensive editing, layout, and publishing functions provide a streamlined workflow for multipublishing design.

Note: FreeHand is a competitor product to Illustrator, therefore Adobe does not plan to initiate new development for FreeHand, but will continue to sell FreeHand and offer technical and customer support. Support FreeHand at www.freefreehand.org and CreativeReview.

Your tutor has been teaching FreeHand since 1990 when it was owned by Aldus.
