I'm sure there are other fine graphics programs out there. I picked CorelDraw, based on reviews, and started using it many years ago to put my flyers together, make up invoices, proposals, etc....everything in the music business I needed to do other than PLAY music. It served me well over the years.
I just noticed the "home edition" is on sale for $40 at Staples this week....regular price $110 and the cheapest price on the whole Net right now.
It's a steal if you need something like this. Learning curve easy..output is professional looking. If all you need is a simple graphics design package, I highly recommend this. Corel has been around for years now.
