    in my opinion you could depending on what software / os you have gimp could create some fairly good logo's / headers for you however if you are talking about logo generators and such they just completely suck, and their quality is pretty poor.

    inkscape, I made my first designs out of it. And yeah, gimp works well for basic stuff and design.

    I have never used gimp, but looking at other designers (who use gimp), it sounds a cool freeware.
    I love my PSCS3, and I only use that!

    You could try Inkscape. I tried it and it's fine. Also, Gimpshop or paint.net.

    I've been dabbling with paint.net and like it pretty well, but I've never done graphic work before so I have no frame of reference for how good it is compared to other programs.

    I don't know enough at this point to invest in Photoshop, so until I've learned a good bit more, how does paint.net compare to Gimp? Are they about the same as far as what can be created with them?

    Dipping my toes in the graphics pool and loving it,

    Honey
