Which software?

Hi,
I'm just curious what software you guys use for your logos/graphics etc...
I use gimp. Dunno i like it. Does anyone know a better (free) program by the way?

 

The Gimp is prolly the best in the free and open source department. There is also Irfan View you might want to check out. I find it useful for some odds and ends like batch renaming files.

 

I use Adobe Fireworks, it is really easy to get the hang of.

 

But are the products of adobe better than the freeware?

 

sometimes, it depends on what you are using it for and how you use it

 

I would say yes, but that is because I gave up on free stuff first time I tried it. Adobe programs tend to be easier to use and give you a more pro look. You could always try and master free ones though

 

Well i use Adobe Photoshop, but it is not cheap.

But Gimp is the Linux version of photoshop and if your wanting a different free graphic program i dont think you will find anything come neer to Gimp

 

I use it for that purpose, very handy

 

Hey,
Adobe products RULE, i have used alot of products but totally recommend those, for graphics and logos etc, sometimes you just have to get your wallet out,

ALL adobe products give your 30 days free trial...take advantage of it!

 

if not try on ebay as there is lots of copies of photoshop selling all the time for a small cost of around $20-$150 which is very cheap if you look at the actual costs of the program

 

As a rule, logos should always be designed using vector graphics software like Illustrator and Coreldraw because only then they can be scaled properly on any medium, which could be anything like a web site, or the back of a truck, in a television commercial, a newspaper ad or even on a football pitch.

 

so dose this mean if i make a logo on Illustrator and save the image, then open it later and scale it bigger it wont get pixelated?
