Use Illustrator if your work involves the usage of vectors (logos, banners, webpage layouts etc.)

Use Photoshop for any image development which relies on manipulation (concept art, art in general tbh)

These two software packages are the industry-standard for their respective uses.

It really depends on what I'm doing...

I use a mix of Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign.

Photoshop for photo manipulation, GIF making and web design. Illustrator for brand elements and vector work. InDesign for anything layout related. At first I only knew how to use Photoshop, but you soon learn everything and which software is best for design mediums. :smile:
