i am going for a job interview on Thursday. while i am proficient in Excel, Word and Powerpoint i know next to nothing about Photoshop & Illustratorit is an assistant entry level position that really doesnt have anything to do with graphic design so i figure the need to know those programs are minimal.what i am curious about is in a position such as that. what can they possibly want me to do with Photoshop & Illustrator???what should i read up on??i am a quick learner and i am sure i can figure things out. but i am just curious as to what the main reasons for something like Illustrator is??i looked some things up but i want a real persons description u know?

    They probably want you to be able to do some very basic photo editing and be able to integrate graphics into other documents. I wouldn't worry too much, but maybe grab the demo version online and play around a bit - photoshop is pretty intuitive. Illustrator, not so much, but I can't imagine they really need you to use it.

    Speaking of which, can someone break down the proper way to do color separations in Illustator? Can't figure it out...

    Photoshop is pretty easy to learn. Illustrator can be a bitch.
