I have been working with Graphics design programs for almost a year now and I have mainly been using Adobe Photoshop. I started off in PhotoShop 7 and then carried on from there. I now use Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe ImageReady CS2. I've been making 'signature' and 'banner' type graphics and hope to get into other types.
The next program I want to take a look at is Cinema 4D. I have also see what you can make using Cinema 4D and Adobe Photoshop combined and the outcome is always impressive.
