Adobe Illustrator files are saved in AI or EPS formats. Adobe Illustrator CS6 is meant for creating layouts of graphic docs for publishing them on paper and in electronic form. Either way you'll probably find yourself quitting and restarting applications to avoid serious memory pressure.Professional software. When you want to use Adobe products sit at the desk and boot up with the external drive. If you intend to use it at home there's a doable compromise - you could set up an external USB 3 hard drive (say a 500GB SSD), clone the internal drive to it and then install the Adobe applications on the external drive. In short - if you intend to go out on the road with Adobe CS you will have to make some punishing compromises with such a small hard drive. I'm not screaming for more RAM on my current MBPro yet, but I can already feel a squeeze with only 8GB.
And while 8GB of RAM might have seemed like a lot yesterday, today it is Apple's standard. My MBAir had a 256GB SSD and if I hadn't used my SD Card slot as additional storage I don't think I could have managed.and I didn't have the entire Adobe suite installed.
