Graphics?

[cbale2000]

We've used Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady quite a bit for our team graphics. We've also used Microsoft Publisher(?) to make posters and such that we then print out on our large format printer. Our biggest problem is finding the files after they're made as people tend to save them to their school accounts.

Flash can be good for websites (very interactive and graphically pleasing) but keep in mind that some peoples computers might not be able to run Flash.

I use Fireworks for all of my graphics work.

I'm unsure of the creation of the team logo (see my avatar), but this year the only graphics work we didn't farm out--that would be the graphics on the robot--were done in PowerPoint. Why? It's the easiest to print to where we got ours done.

That said, I tend to find myself using Photoshop a lot down there, Illustrator if it needs to be vectorized. (I'm fast learning that on Mac OS X, the .eps FIRST logos turn out better than their .jpg counterparts!) In a pinch, I use Seashore (Mac OS X-native GIMP).

The GIMP and IrfanView for graphics. Both are nice, free programs and together they can do most of what you need for a website. (Vector graphics is pretty much the only major thing you can't do with that pair) On Windows machines I use Notepad for the actual creation of the website, and on Mac I use TextWrangler.
