Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based program that allows users to create, edit and manipulate images (vector-based drawing) in many different ways. Vector-based drawing is the use of mathematical formulas to create shapes and letters. These shapes are based on calculation, making it possible to scale these drawings up and down without losing quality.

Repeating some aspects of a design throughout a piece is a great design practice. We use repetition to create a sense of unity and consistency. It can create emphasis, hierarchy, and structure. The more we see something, the more we familiarize with it, and as a result, remember it. You can duplicate elements in After Effects including, layer, clip, shortcut, effect, and more.

If you are a creative professional, you likely have access to Adobe Creative Cloud applications beyond those that you are using on a regular basis. Take for instance Adobe InDesign—one of the most powerful Adobe applications! Most of the video artists that I know have never even opened Adobe InDesign.
