I am one of those guys that was completely shocked when Adobe bought Macromedia and that shed quite alot of tears when Adobe announced soon after that the first product that was going to be put to sleep would be Freehand. (Bloody Murder! Though I guess everyone saw that coming.)

I love Freehand, I have been using it for years, I am just very used to straight-to-the-point approach and the no-fancy-bullshit way it supports, so I can’t really let go of it.

However, because nothing will happen with this program in the future I have tried to get myself familiar with Illustrator a few times, but for some reason I always gave up pretty fast, being frustrated because the whole concept of both programs are so very different.

But I recently found a tutorial that claims to teach you Illustrator in 30 days, and this will be my new years resolution. Let’s see how that works out.
