So you want to make cool art work or somewhat cool art then you need software like photoshop or illustrator but you don’t have the money to keep pay adobe for the software but you want to create what do you? you can download software like gimp  or pixelmator for your photoshop needs. I have try to use other software to not pay adobe but beacuse of most of the tools that are used in the design community are adobe’s it is more effective to use adobe’s software beacause of the fact that they make the task that you need to create faster and better then using a work around with in the software that you use inside of apps like gimp  or pixelmator.I will keep try to find alternative for the Creative suite. What do your think about adobe vs indie ?
