"Useful illustration program for Mac"

5/5

What do you like best about Artboard?

Artboard is very easy to understand and begin using, which can be a hurdle with other programs for graphic design and illustration. There are many tutorials on its website that help with gaining a quick understanding of its features and abilities as a design program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Artboard?

Because it's simpler to understand, it also seems to sacrifice some features that are present in other programs, and I have run into difficulty figuring out how to use specific features due to the overly simplified layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Artboard:

It's a good idea to take advantage of the free trial that's supplied before committing to using this product, as there are certainly many alternatives for illustrative and graphic design work. It will depend on the importance of simplicity for the designer, and previous experience with design software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Artboard solving and how is that benefiting you?

A great use for this program is design for logos and advertising material, as well as personal use in illustration and graphic design experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not as well rounded as illustrator"

3/5

What do you like best about Artboard?

In some ways I do like the simplicity of artboard more. It is an okay program for beginners - in fact it may be more user friendly for beginners than Illustrator. Overall, it is a nice program to use for a quick turnaround for a poster or something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Artboard?

While it is a nice tool for beginners, I think it is not as well rounded as a program such as Adobe Illustrator. I would like to see more tools such as the pathfinder - or at least a basic version of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Artboard:

If you're new to graphic arts and vectors - by all means download and try out this product. It will be useful in the learning process. That said, once you've grasped the concept of vectors you should probably move onto a program like Illustrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Artboard solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's really useful to teach people exactly what "vector" means. It's nice to have for a quick turn around but it isn't exactly meant for the prefectionist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple. Genius. Simply Genius."

4/5

What do you like best about Artboard?

The quality of images are very high. I used to think everything had to be done on my desktop, but with very little memory usage I enjoy having it on my iPhone and being able to take my work on the road. The app is very easy to learn and use and I got the hang of it waaaaaay faster than Adobe's comparable products.

I also love that I could demo it with a trial version before committing to the very fair price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Artboard?

That I didn't know about this sooner! Who does their marketing?! I honestly have no complaints or regrets about Artboard or it's customer support. I think some of the other programs can take a page or two from Artboard's well thought out set of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Artboard:

Artboard is constantly improving by taking user feedback into consideration for updates and added features. So if you give it a try and feel it doesn't meet some of your design needs, tell 'em! And work around the obstacle with a backup program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Artboard solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was pleasantly surprised at how many new features I am using that I didn't know how to or never even used in Adobe. In essence, it is broadening our horizons with creativity and style! It is less expensive than the monthly subscription that a comparable product recently shifted to. And the ease of creating graphics that are ready to share via text or email on the phone immediately for feedback or approval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very impressed"

5/5

What do you like best about Artboard?

This app is an awesome tool for a vector artist or graphic designer. It’s much faster than Adobe products, much cheaper and gives a lot of fun options you won’t ever find in more complicated soft. If you have skills and will to learn vector graphics, you should start with this one, especially with the free trial available! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Artboard?

I’d love to have it for Windows, not only for Mac, it’s the only thing I would change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Artboard Review"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Artboard?

It is a good software if you want to start vector drawing without dealing with the complications of Adobe Illustrator. The software is easy to use. However, once you start in Illustrator it makes using Arthoard weird. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Artboard?

It is still difficult to lay down a vector path and iit is hard to chose the right document size for your printer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good graphic design application (specifically for vector drawing)"

4/5

What do you like best about Artboard?

It offers a combination of advanced features and simple basic functions. It integrates well with other programs to create as complete as it takes designs. Some of its features: It offers an extensive library of styles and clip arts, it has a powerful generator of styles. You can export to PDF, JPG, PNG and TIF, it is available from Mac App Store and it has a learning curve shorter than similar products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Artboard?

Most of the time adjusting the text attributes within the same element it all changes, even selecting only a portion of the text. For example, having 3 lines of text in one element and only wanting 1 line larger than the other ones. This probably may be the only thing that change, but if you give focus to the element it changes the other text as well. This happens with changing the font colours as well. This behaviour trend to begin on a couple updates ago. This is getting very time irritating, but it is not imposible to solve by the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Artboard:

The Artboard program can also be used to convert files in different formats. By using programs like this one and similar, converting and changing the file extension should not cause problems and reading encoded in the file contents will be clear, understandable and consistent with the original. It is worth remembering that the Artboard application in its different versions (old or new) can be compatible with different file extensions. Typically, the newer the version of the program is, more file extensions will be compatible with it, so try to have a current version of the program, I recommend download it directly from the developer app store page. On its website, in the tutorials section "http://www.mapdiva.com/artboard/tutorials/" you can find all aid to help you get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
