Most graphic designers and artists are trained on using Photoshop and Illustrator before they even know that InDesign exists. Both applications are vector based with great transformation tools. Illustrator is a great example of an alternative application to InDesign.

Using the appropriate application for each task is important, but what if you don’t know how to use the appropriate application? This is where alternative applications can be useful. It’s no secret that Adobe makes it easy to work seamlessly between their native applications, making it easy to use the best program for the task at hand. I’m sure you all understand where I’m going with this. If you’re a print and layout specialist you may only be familiar with InDesign. If you’re a videographer you might live and breath by Premiere Pro and After Effects. If you’re a photographer you’re probably most comfortable in Photoshop. Your favorite application in the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite will most likely depend on what industry you’re working with.
