Before answering this question have a look at two images image-1 and image-2. You will get the most part of the answer yourself!
Fig: Image-1
Fig: Image-2
Image-1 is well smaller than image-2, but much more clear too. Just like image-2, if we try to zoom image-1 out for larger view it will be blur like this one. That is why Adobe Illustrator is used for printing media. Adobe Illustrator uses vector graphics, that means how much larger you want your image is- it will not blur anymore and you can print any size you like.
Introduction: Adobe Illustrator is very popular graphics program around the world, particularly in printing related media. It has also large amount of usages in electronic media too. It is used in Logo Design, Visiting Card, Calendar, Books etc alongside Adobe Photoshop program.
In 1997 Adobe Illustrator introduced for the first time in global market. You can find history of Adobe products in www.wikipedia.com and product details in www.adobe.com.
Let’s start our learning journey:
In our tutorial, we will start with Adobe Illustrator CS6 version. Why? I feel it is not too older to start neither too latest one to grab the higher computer resources. More or less we can move in other versions easily because this programs interface is almost similar.
The computer requirements listed bellow (According to Adobe)
A) Processor => Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Althon 64 bit processor or higher.
B) Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 3 or higher.
C) Minimum 1 GB Ram (It is better to have 3-8 GB)
D) Minimum 2GB hard disk free space.
E) 1024 × 768 Resolution supported monitor and Graphics Card.
F) Graphics Card should have 1GB GPU Ram.
If you are a MAC user, it should be similar or if you can find more details in Adobe products requirements list from their website. I am using Microsoft Windows to make this tutorial with windows version of Adobe Illustrator.
How to get the product?
We can download 30 days of free trial product from given link http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html Or you can buy it if you like. If you do not have high speed internet connection, you can collect it from your local computer market in a DVD format.

If everything is up to the mark (required disk space and resolution), to keep it simple and install to its default location (`c:\program files\adobe’) just click `Accept‘ button. Final part of the installation will be started soon.
