Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop vs. InDesign

InDesign is mainly used to organize text/images and design layouts like you see on magazine pages, newsletters, etc.

Illustrator is usually used for "vector" graphics where you create shapes or text (usually of solid color or with gradients) that don't lose quality when you enlarge or shrink the image. It is best for making logos or graphics.

Photoshop can also create vector images, but not nearly as well as illustrator. Photoshop is usually used for editing "pixel" based images such as a photo or a scanned image, which illustrator cannot do. Unlike vector graphics, enlarging and shrinking a photo will reduce the quality of the photo.
