As a beginner, diving into the Adobe universe can feel like stepping into a magical forest with two enticing paths.

Photoshop works with raster images (made of pixels). It’s like painting on a canvas with tiny squares. Perfect for detailed photo edits, color correction, and surreal compositions.

Illustrator is perfect for logos, icons, typography, and anything that needs to look sharp at any size. It’s like having a wand that can resize without losing quality.

If You Love Photos: Start with Photoshop. Learn the art of retouching, color grading, and photo manipulation.

If You Dream in Shapes: Illustrator is your muse. Dive into vector art, logo design, and crisp graphics.

But many designers master both tools. Illustrator and Photoshop are like dance partners at the masquerade ball. They complement each other. You can create vector shapes in Illustrator and then add magical photo effects in Photoshop.

I found this tutorial on Adobe Illustrator to be incredibly clear and easy to follow.
