Free graphic-design-esq program?

Post by Asho_DirtyPoo »

I'm looking for something simple, and free, that I can download online to use to make some random little banner things for my concert series when I feel like it, rather than having to call on favours from people all the time, and wait 'til someone has time etc. etc.

I'm attempting to download this right now: http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/softwa ... efault.asp

I have it downloaded, and halfway setup, but now it's stalled at 100% of the "copying fonts" and yeah...

I'm getting sick of waiting. Was wondering if anyone knew of any free programs they'd recommend?

EDIT: Okay, it's totally installed. Still interested in recommendations, though, or if anyone has used what I just downloaded before and what you think of it.

FREE is key, dude. Photoshop is NOT free haha.

And Jonny, are you calling me a gimp, or is that a program name? haha

Those don't work anymore. And PD doesn't bother replacing the links or taking them down. :roll:

Ugh. That program won't let me actually use the banner as a photo.

I hate graphic design. HATE IT.

I give up *lol*

Thanks for your tips guys.

^ yes, and it's actually vey simple to use. your kinda limited, but its good for beginners, as i found out. you have to download brushes from diviant art and fonts from wherever.

if you do decied to use gimp, i might make a tutorial. :wink:

i actually never learned to use photoshop. i just find it really confusing. :?
you have far too much time on your hands

Yep same. The one I downloaded though didn't have to be cracked or anything though.

USE PAINT.NET!!!!!!
its free, easy to use, and it has lots of effects to use.
you can add layers, change properties, pixilate, oil painting and etc.
