Adobe Photoshop illustrators are specific types of graphic designers who use computer applications like Adobe Photoshop to create graphics and illustrations. Rather than starting with a blank canvas, Photoshop illustrators work in depth on one or more photographs taken for a project, stretching the bounds of reality through edits and artistic adjustments to multiple images in a myriad of ways. Adobe Photoshop illustrators are frequently employed by advertising firms, publishing houses and graphic design firms. Typical duties of an Adobe Photoshop illustrator include brainstorming ideas, sketching, creating draft illustrations, discussing ideas with co-workers and finalizing illustrations.
