What laptop computer is best for installing adobe photoshop,premiere, alias maya, etc,used for graphic design? i’m planning to buy one so that i’ll be able to work while on the road.

is it dell? neo? fijitsu? between these three?

it doesn’t matter the brand of the lap top u purchase what matters is the graphic card.make sure it has a good graphic card and plenty of memory.

I’m starting my own website and need to create a logo and design some images and I need a good software program that isn’t too costly.
Thanks so much!

For Photoshop-type raster/pixel image work, Gimp at www.gimp.org
For Illustrator-type vector graphics, Inkscape. www.inkscape.org

Both of these are free OpenSource software.

There are also various smaller aps that use clip art to help you make logos, do a search for that sort of software. They tend to be rather limited.

What laptop computer is best for installing adobe photoshop,premiere, alias maya, etc,used for graphic design? i’m planning to buy one so that i’ll be able to work while on the road.
between Dell, Fujitsu and Neo, which laptop is best for installing graphic design software like adobe photoshop, premeire and Alias Maya?

I would never recommend a portable system for graphics purposes. The real problem is that the size of the monitor is severely limited, making real, detailed graphics work more difficult.

But, that is just my opinion. I also recognize that there are a lot of legitimate reasons some people NEED to install graphics apps into a laptop or notebook. For examples, folks that can’t afford to maintain two separate systems, a desktop and a portable. There are students that need to keep their schoolwork, homework and other accoutrements at their side 24/7. And, such as yourself that will be doing work on the road.

So, with that, the only advice I can offer is to buy the one with the best raw processor speed, the most ram and the biggest hard drive you can afford. If you will also be interfacing with other units, especially with your home desktop, you will need connectivity or some other way of transfering data. I suggest you remain versitile by making sure your portable has a fast USB connection and a good CD or DVD burner. And of those two, I recommend the DVD burner because you can use it to back up and archive your hard drive. Graphics take up a LOT of space, so even the big hard drives fill up fast and you don’t want old files clogging up your system.

And finally, what I think might be the most important feature: Get the one with the BIGGEST monitor you can find. You are NEVER going to get a good color match for print jobs with LCD screens, so, don’t worry about that. You will need a BIG, bright screen to work with. You can always make color adjustments later, when getting ready to print.

I was a PR major, but found out that I really don’t like writing as much as I thought I did. I’m planning on going back to my old major in graphic design. It’s been a few years, but what are the most common graphics programs that are used today besides Photoshop and Ilustrator? Also, I want to take digital graphics so I’d like to know what are some that are in demand for that type of medium as well. Thanks!

I would say adobe Indesign is the most used and will be as quark is slowly going out the picture it seems.

where can I get some good graphics or better yet what graphic design software is user friendly and cost efficient? cd cover design/ branding/ etc

Best graphic design software is of course ADOBE product:
Adobe Photoshop CS4 and there is 999999999 sites with tutorials for PS.

Im interested in graphic designing, and i was wondering does anyone know what is the best software to use?

InDesign would be my pick for software, But really you need to utilize most Adobe Creative Suite programs if your going to do things properly.

Take a course if you are serious about this as it will help much more than the internet
