Graphic Programs(With DL Link)

Photoshop CS5-
Photoshop is used to make most of the graphics we all know and love today. Photoshop is the most common graphic creation program. It can in the right hands create professional graphics. It is used to create Avatars,Sigs,Desktops,YT BGs etc. It has alot of very useful features such as the Type Tool. Anyone can download Photoshop. It has a very good partnership with Cinema 4D. As they work very well together in creating well put together graphics.

DL Link- [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


Cinema 4D-
This is the 3D program that we all know and love. It varies from simple 3D text to the more advanced 3D buildings such as apartments. It offers a variety of services serving from Intros to Forum Sigs. It is used in Photoshop alot. They renders rendered out in this program are used in Forum Sig,Desktops,Avys,Sigs etc. It offers a variety of help but is only recomended from medum to advanced users. It works a good partnership with Phototshop to create very well put together graphics.

Gimp-
Gimp is not as popular as c4d or ps. It is not used as much as either because ps has more better features. But it has tricks of its own. It is a pretty good simple graphic creator. This program should be used for beginners to advanced. Very good program if your just starting on graphics. And dosent really go with ps but can be used with c4d for 3D text.

Maya Animation Software-
Maya is a program unknown to most of us they do not work with 3D. This is not that crappy flashy animation either. This animation is for spinning letters objects and creating falling water. It is a really good program for intermediate graphic designers that are looking for something new. It and c4d share a really good bond together in creating really good graphics.

Paint-
Paint is a program for mostly just playing around with and making jokes and funny stuff. For example if u have a screenshot and you want something to stand out all you have to do is circle it or draw a big arrow pointing at it to get it to stand out. It really dosent work well with any program but it is used for extremly un-professional graphics.

DL Link- Should Already Be On PC Or Laptop.




Style's

Traditional-
Traditional art is basically done by hand. It is usually done using a blank canvas such as a wall or paper. Can be done using any writing utensil such as a pencil pen etc. Usually very well put together and has very good detail and design to really make the design "Pop". Includes drawing and painting.


Digiart-
Digiart is unlike traditional done on the computer. It is basically like paint but way more advanced. I dont have much info on this but search it on google on ask.
