As an actual professional GD, let me tell you...stick with Photoshop. It is the industry standard.VetteMan85
I agree, its what most professionals use.. no point getting wrapped up in another program a small amount of people follow.
Adobe, Adobe, Adobe and Quark Thats what you need to learn if you want to be a designer. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and QuarkXpressZeRo-ZeNNo need for Quark. It's outdated and rarely used.
[QUOTE="Mattchu758"]as a graphic designer you will use mostly photoshop, illustrator, even InDesignZeRo-ZeNThis reminds me of a joke. Q: "What do you call a graphic designer that does NOT know InDesign?" A: "Unemployed"Well usually you can chose what programs you wish to use so long as you get the work done properly (unless the company is a stickler for what you use).

No one should ever design in photoshop (outside of web designers) Vector Art = GOOD Bitmap = BAD

I do most of my layout and designing in Illustrator personally.
[QUOTE="majadamus"]Ya, use the programs everyone else said use. I'm hearing Mac is the best for graphic designers...at least what my professors kept telling me. ZeRo-ZeNIt is. Outside of web design. Strangely enough a PC is better with those programs.Neither is better. The programs are the same on both platforms and PCs tend to be more powerful. If you are allowed, use what you are used to.

And on a video game website that should make sense...While that may be true, from my experience the programs always run better on PCs. Either way, neither is better for it. The programs works perfectly on either.
