I Have Fun With Adobe Illustrator

I wish there were more hours in the day so I could hate Illustrator more.

I've just spent two hours unsuccessfully trying to do something that would have taken me five minutes to do in FreeHand — 20 years ago.

Rant complete.

What are you trying to do?

@caccoon I'm trying to spherize a graphic. I used to do it all the time back in the day to take a flat graphic and give it dimension. But of course, I was using FreeHand at the time.

@DunningKruger From my recollection, that's very easy to do in Illustrator. But it was a few years ago I did it and I don't often use the 3D tool. I know I looked it up to refresh myself and it only took a few minutes, though.

@caccoon You must be better at than I am. I tried for hours to get it to work, and couldn't produce satisfactory results.

@DunningKruger I don't know, Illustrator can be a bitch.
