Adobe's illustration software is simply amazing. I'm just getting into the basics of Illustrator and was doing some research on Realistic Vector Art. You won't believe what some people are able to accomplish with their technical expertise, artistic ability, and time.

Based off of photos of celebrities, these illustrations rival the very photographs used for insipiration. What does this mean for other geeks who are aspiring or budding designers? Now you can have your own collection of nude celebrity photos saved to your desktop background. You just have to learn how to use Illustrator.

Here are a few illustrations I found online from basang panaginip, "The World's Most Photorealistic Vector Art" (artist - Wayne Forrest):

Plus, here's my first attempt to create a realistic flower for a class project. Not too shabby for never having used the program before, eh? Not exactly photorealistic, but what can you do?

Nokia’s New Tool Set: Platform SDK’s for Java, Adobe Illustrator, Ikivo Animator and Sun’s NetBeans

Nokia and Ikivo bring designers and developers together to improve the productivity and creativity of mobile Java development, Today Nokia introduces complete development environment with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to reduce costs, time to market for graphic UI design in mobile application projects. See the release below for more information.

Nokia and Ikivo, a leading supplier of rich media application enabling solutions based on open standards, today announced the joint creation of a complete tool chain that simplifies and allows efficient collaboration between graphic designers and software engineers in the development of Java applications for mobile devices.

The new tool set integrates Nokia’s Platform SDKs for Java, Adobe Illustrator, Ikivo Animator and Sun’s NetBeans to enable user interface designers to add their GUI designs directly to an application project and avoid the time-consuming process of “translating” those designs into Java code. Utilizing Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to capture visual designs for optimized integration into software development projects, the new solution dramatically improves the productivity of mobile Java development, and reinforces the attractiveness of Java as an environment for creating compelling mobile applications with rich graphics and interactivity.

The new tool set’s utilization of SVG, an open standard for describing 2D static and animated vector graphics developed through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), makes it possible to define a clear division of labor between engineers and graphic designers working on software development projects.

Using the new SVG-enabled tool chain developed by Nokia and Ikivo, graphic designers are free to concentrate on creating useful and exciting user experiences, incorporating designs in the final product without the need to help engineers translate those designs into code. Software engineers can concentrate their skills on the application logic and other non-graphic components of a project, where they can be the most productive.

“Nokia is pleased to be working with Ikivo and Sun to enable coders and creative professionals to work together toward creation of best-of-breed mobile applications with advanced user interfaces,” said David Rivas, VP, Technology Management, Nokia. “This collaborative effort shows how focused initiatives can empower mobile application developers with different fields of knowledge and expertise to work more closely together in bringing the next-generation mobile experience to the global marketplace.”

“Ikivo has been very pleased to work with Nokia and we’re happy to be taking this initiative to the next level, sharing our knowledge with the broad developer audience through Forum Nokia, the largest mobile developer community in the world,” said Brad Sipes, Chief Technology Officer, Ikivo. “This initiative further validates the power of the SVG technology integration with Java and we’re confident that the easy-to-use workflow will attract more developers to improve the graphics and user experience of their applications.”

SVG offers a scalable, efficient textual representation of graphic and animation objects, allowing for complex designs to be specified with a small in-memory footprint. Nokia supports SVG for Java development through its implementation of JSR 226, which is supported in new S60 3rd Edition and Series 40 5th Edition based devices. Nokia and Sun Microsystems support for JSR226 will be discussed at JavaOne 2008 during a technical session titled, “Developing Flashy Mobile Applications, Using SVG and JSR 226 .”

“The SVG-T technology and JSR 226 are important user interface enhancements for Java ME with current MSA and JSR 248 standardization,” said Arseniy Kuznetsov, Director, NetBeans Engineering, Sun Microsystems. “Developers can use rich content created by designer tools such as Ikivo Animator along with the NetBeans Mobility to create and deploy compelling applications with complex interactions to Nokia’s portfolio of globally distributed devices.”

“Progress in this Java ME tool-chain is significant for developers and designers, because it speeds up entire development process by making it more efficient and convenient,” said Michael Samarin, Project Manager and Technology Specialist at Futurice Ltd, a provider of mobile and Internet software services that has worked with the Ikivo Animator tool for the last four months and has wide experience with Java development tools. “Our GUI experts can now create the actual user interface, not just design drafts. What is also very important, these tools help to attract new developers by being more intuitive, robust and lowering the entry barrier.”

Ikivo’s role in the collaborative effort with Nokia has been essential to the rapid deployment of the new SVG-enabled tool set for developers and designers. Ikivo’s depth of experience with SVG enabled Nokia to react quickly to the issues that developers and designers have been reporting with creating compelling applications with rich graphics and interactivity for the Java mobile environment.

More information on the tool set can be found at forum.nokia.com and in order to download Ikivo Animator tool go to ikivo.com.
