After working a little longer in Adobe Illustrator I have made new conclusions corresponding with the comparison of Adobe Photoshop to Adobe Illustrator in advertisement. I still like Adobe Illustrator better but there are some aspects of Photoshop that you can't beat. One of the biggest ones being the realistic aspect of the Photoshop graphics. Very recently we received an assignment that tasked us with making a realistic cheese burger in Adobe Illustrator (realistic within reason we are after all working in Adobe Illustrator). Although the burgers look realistic enough if you compare them to a burger in edited Photoshop you could easily see which one is real. Besides the fact that could easily tell the difference between a real food product and an Adobe Illustrator food product, you would definitely not want to advertise any food products using Adobe Illustrator (or at least not made by anyone at the level I am at right now) because they look unappetising and off color. If you were trying to advertise a food product in Photoshop you could simply take a nice photo of your food item of choice and then add different filters and lighting styles to make it look even more appealing. On the other side of that Adobe Illustrator would be much better for designing a company logo and putting it on merchandise. If you tried making a logo from scratch in Adobe Photoshop it wouldn't look as graphically appealing due to the realistic nature of it and how most logos are simple and cartoonish. As you can see there are ups and downs to aspects of both programs and you just have to figure out which one works best in your context.
