Arrow Re: graphics designing

Well, I use to work for Adobe Systems® in their tech support department, supporting the Creative Suite® when it was first launched. Then settled into the Acrobat® department when the Live Cycle® program started getting flooded with customer's calls. So I know first hand what the customer's issues were (mostly install issues) and what they expected from their software.

Even though I no longer work for Adobe Systems® I am still on their Beta test team. So I am able to test all their new releases BEFORE they are released to the public. Adobe® is constantly aiming to be the best there is.

I am in the process of opening a screenprinting business. I would like to know what is best to create the artwork for the screens. I will be doing a lot of the new "skater" style design shirts and hoodies. I can not draw...so I need software that will do it for me.

Thumbs up Re: graphics designing

I just have to say that Adobe® Illustrator has the best vector graphic engine around.

You can get a trial version (to test) from adobe.com

I'm very comfortable with different computer software, however I'm having a hard time learning Illustrator. Is there a program that has projects/examples which you can follow along. I find it easier to learn by doing than reading. Any recommendations will be very much appreciated.

Getting the Book, "Adobe® Illustrator CS3 Classroom in a book" would be very helpful. It has a CD with projects on it and gives you step by step instructions on how to use the various tools and keyboard shortcuts.

When I helped Adobe® (with their tech support) launch the Creative Suite they gave us the Creative Suite Classroom in a Book(s) to learn the various programs. It was a useful tool.
