@YNeedPeopleLikeMe Vector art is artwork that is drawn in Illustrator. It is just lines and curves connected with points. I’m not sure what your problem is because vector art will lay over other vector art? Maybe try saving the 2 pieces of artwork on separate layers?

@YNeedPeopleLikeMe Are you talking about vector art or regular images like jpeg? If you are working with regular images it is better to use transparent PNG files. You can overlay them in Illustrator and they maintain their transparency. Does that answer the question?

@SOLE1PRODUCTIONS More ram always helps. I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4G with 2 terabytes of hard drive space. Make sure your hard drive is big enough. Macs like to have large hard drives. My computer never slows down, but I normally only have a few programs running at a time

@derekbanas thanks man! i notice a slight bit of lag… when resizing images for example.
does it ever become an issue. would 3.4ghz and 8gb be a better option. im going into graphic design for school will be using much of the many creative suite programs.

@zuron88 You can turn regular or raster images into vector art. It’s not perfect, but check out part 2 of this tutorial series to see how it is done

@zuron88 Draw your shape, put your picture immediately behind it, select both and make a clipping mask. Object, clipping Mask, Make (Cmd-7).
