1) Photoshop- This is THE photo editing standard in the graphics world, and used by most serious graphic designers, photographers, and image manipulators. Can create an image from scratch or edit and existing file. Photoshop uses advanced features like layers, a history brush, comprehensive editing manipulation, color correction, and more. This is graphic design software that most graphic designers will not do without.

Types of Output: Photographs, Manipulated objects, Web Graphics, Texture editing...

2) Freehand- This program put out by Macromedia allows for the creation of vector art among other things. Good for line art, cartoons, logo creation, as well as any other image that can be resized to any size and still have smooth edges and lines. Vector images are made up of lines, curves, and gradients.

Types of Output: Line Art, Logos, Cartoons, Anything with smooth edges and shapes. Not for photographs...

3) Illustrator- Put out by Adobe, Illustrator is very much the same as Freehand. It works with vector graphics for the most part. It's known for it's strong compatibility of other Adobe products, so Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat work very well together.

Types of Output: Line Art, Logos, Cartoons, Anything with smooth edges and shapes...

4) Quark Xpress- This is a layout program for printed media. Can create any layout from a brochure to an entire book. Is used to define page size, margins, typeface, text flow, page numbering, and so on.

Types of Output: Books, Magazines, Brochures, CD Covers, Manuals, Menus...

Hello Friends......

1.Software

Graphics and business-related software are also a key to your success. Some products, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, focus on the creative end of design. Other packages, such as project management or time tracking software, will help you stay organized and manage the business end of design.

2.A Sketchpad
While you're most likely to use a computer to complete a design, you don't have to start with one. Sketching out ideas is a great way to begin a project and brainstorm, and can be much quicker than mocking something up on a computer. It's also important to always keep a small sketchpad or notepad handy, as you can forget a great idea as fast as you thought of it.

Thanks

Nowadays computer software is the main tool. Although that is not enough. One must also have talent and knowledge.
