Not all tablets are that expensive. $1100, $1000 if you wait for a sale, for a Gateway cx210.

Re: Graphics?

Most of 973's things are done in Photoshop. Others are done in Inkscape.

I like Inkscape, it's free and I can play with the calligraphy part and make pretty letters. It's also pretty useful.

Re: Graphics?

Photoshop CS2 for graphics, period. fireworks never worked for me. Dreamweaver, though, has its benefits for the graphical front end classes for our website, but for everything else I use notepad++. our website is class driven, so mostly we just interface with a selected skin file and never have to worry about the page displaying correctly- it just does.

it also means we can change the skin entirely on the fly... a major plus if we need a special edition website or something.
our website never had a major calling for flash, so we don't use it much.

Like Zyik, most of my graphics work is done in Inkscape. For raster editing, paint.net is my choice, simply because I'm dumb and its simple user interface appeals to me.

In any case, it's not the software, it's the artist. Pick a software family you feel comfortable with, and expand on that.

Re: Graphics?

I'm partial to Adobe software just because that's what I had access to in high school and kind of taught myself how to use it with the help of tutorials. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are two very powerful software pieces, but you'll still find businesses using older versions of Freehand, Fireworks, and beyond. It's a safe bet though that if you know how to use Adobe, you'll be covered pretty well and can transition to another software package if need be with little difficulty.

Re: Graphics?

I know that this is an old thread and stuff, but honestly, if you use Dreamweaver you don't learn as much about using something like Notepad or a simple, no help editor. I've learned more about tweaking, cross-browser compatibility, error-fixing and more just by writing the code by hand.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 is what I've done my work in. In general that's perfect for website designing (GIMP is nice too). Illustrator should be used for logos, imagery, and similar media and not so much for a website.

Team 245's website (My work done by hand-coding and Photoshop) is linked in my signature.

i use dreamweaver just because of the auto complete. i never use the design mode and using just the code mode is like using notepad but it cuts my time spent typing in half sometimes. also i like their color coding as well. but i agree dreamweaver is not the greatest for wysiwyg editing.

I agree, Notepad++ is great. All of the features are helpful, none get in your way; the language support is great; and it pretty usable while still having stuff like regular expression support. The only pieces of software I prefer are TextWrangler (for the FTP features) and vim (universal, usable in the command line, plethora of features... not too user friendly though).

Inkscape would be an excellent package even if you had to pay for it

As far as a FTP + CSS, HTML, PHP, Javascript.. ect.. Webcipher 2 is a lightweight, free version of Dreamweaver.
