History of Illustrator

Development of Adobe Illustrator for the Apple Macintosh began in 1985 with the concept of John Warnock, Co-founder of Adobe Systems, as a commercialization of Adobe's in-house font development software and PostScript file format.

Illustrator 1.0 was released on January 1987 for Macintosh exclusively. During it's first decade Illustrator provided results in typesetting and logo design.

Illustrator 2.0 released in 1989, was notable for being the first release for the Windows operating systems.

With the introduction of Illustrator 7.0  in 1997, Illustrator began to support TrueType, effectively ending the "Font wars" between PostScript Type 1 and TrueType.  And also it began supporting plug-ins, greatly and quickly extending its abilities making users finally standardize on Illustrator.

After 12 years of improvements, the first Illustrator CS was commercially released in October 2003 as the eleventh major version of Illustrator. It includes first great features of 3D and OpenType capabilities.
