I cannot yet say exactly what this is for but let's just say I needed someone who could create graphics for the top of a snowboard. Can anyone hear do that? Or teach me how? Comment or kik me buckeye3343. Where can I learn to design these images. And what exactly are the laws about me using pictures from online in this design if I am going to sell it?

Gimp is a good program to use when starting out, and it's free. There are plenty of youtube tutorials on Gimp.
As to the images, you would need to ask the owner of the image if it is okay for you to sell your graphic after using his image.

I would say photoshop CS6 or any version, but you have to pay for it. You can download a trial of the program on adobe's website.

Unless he wants to pay 300 GBP+ or illegally download it, it's up to him. Also, a trial would only last 30 days, then what?

You said a snowboard?
If you are going to put it on a snowboard you
will need to use Adobe Illustrator instead of Photoshop.

300 + GBP is a bit of a steep investment for someone just starting out
