I'd say both. I'm one of those who if they can't find what they want, will design their own. I do draw my own greeting cards, I can lay out anything geometric in Illustrator, and color it in Photoshop. If I want a particular applique like a flower, I will grab a camera, put pix in Photoshop and deconstruct it.
I just enjoy playing with color. Since household goods do wear out, I can replace most by making my own. I make most of my own shirts.
I know EQ7 can also do this, but I prefer to play trial and error in Illustrator. I will eventually trace the finished project in EQ7. (I simply don't care for EQ7's version of layers. With Illustrator, I can have as many layers as I want)
