“We’re not actually downloading 17,000 fonts onto your poor iPad,” smiles Snowden. You’ll be able to choose how you want to search.įear not though, all these fonts aren’t actually on the device. As well as traditional design classifications (serif, script and so on), the tool will also offer mood-based classifications such as ‘fancy’ or ‘clean’ fonts. “Type is crucial for this tool, and getting Adobe Fonts onto the iPad is a big part of that,” says Snowden.īecause sorting through several thousand fonts is a little intimidating to say the least, the team is busy refining different filters and search functions to make it nice and painless. Users will be able to access all 17,000 Adobe Fonts from within the tool, and try them out in their designs instantly. One of the features the team is particularly proud of is Illustrator on the iPad’s type engine. “We don’t want to do the work for you, we just want to get you most of the way there, and you can go in and tweak to your heart’s content,” he adds. The feature is powered by Sensei technology and uses a machine learning algorithm to work. Want to use the photo as is? You can toggle Drawing Guides on and off as required. You can then of course edit the vectors however you need. It just helps you get started much more quickly,” says Snowden. “When Drawing Guides is on, it’ll take a photo, place it on the canvas, auto-trace it, give you the vectors. Magic your scrappy sketches into vectorsĪ feature called Drawing Guides will enable you to take a messy pencil drawing and turn it into clean vector shapes.
You'll be able to access your iPad's camera from directly within Illustrator, meaning you can capture and position images in one step. While the demo we saw was just a bit of fun (although it's good to know that if you do need to instantly put a colleague’s face into a cutout of a happy octopus, you can), it looks like it’ll be a handy time-saver in practice too.Ī typical workflow of taking a photo on your phone, sending it to your laptop/computer, downloading, uploading into Illustrator and masking it before you can work with the design is replaced with just a couple of clicks in the new iPad version. Access the camera directly in the toolĪdobe is making the most of the fact that it has a built-in camera to play with for Illustrator on the iPad.
