Good morning.

I read a post by you that said you are involved in the graphic design field. I am HIGHLY interested in getting my degree in said field, and i was just curious about some things.

What programs do you use/enjoy using/are the best fitting for you?

What type of course did you take? I was looking into Visual Communication, which focus' on the artwork as well as the marketing aspect of the field, i'm sure you are familiar. What route did yo take? Any formal training at all?

Anyway, just any general info would be cool. Much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I use:

- Adobe ImageReady (preparing images)
- Adobe Photoshop (image creation, editing, scanning)
- Adobe PageMaker (layout for print design)
- Macromedia Fireworks (images creation, editing)

Photoshop and Fireworks do a lot of the same things. I generally like Photoshops user interface more but Fireworks does some things that's harder to do in Photoshop. Just depends on what I'm doing.

I've never taken a course actually. I've taught myself everything with the help of others. One of the most valuable ways to educate yourself is by experimentation! Books are very useful too. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. It does help. Yeah, i've been experiementing for years now as far as preferences, layouts, medium, etc. I just don't have much access to a computer w/said programs. So, i think i still might enroll in something just to have access to the tools, you know?
