Use Photoshop and Illustrator to Make the Image
Photoshop is for the creative elements such as graphics and
photos. Illustrator is for text purposes and any vector art.
Vector: are comprised of paths, which are defined by a start and end
point, along with other points, curves, and angles along the way. A
path can be a line, a square, a triangle, or a curvy shape. Because vector-based images are not made
up of a specific number of dots, they can be scaled to a larger size and
not lose any image quality.
