[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1147901, member: 101117"] Hello, Almost all icon design is done in Photoshop, it is the absolute best software for designing realistic icons an other things. Icons like Courier, Socialite, Transmit, CSSEdit, and Espresso are all done in Photoshop. Logo design is done in Illustrator. (Logos like Starbucks) I have seen a photorealistic rum tumbler done in Illustrator, but Illustrator is usually used for logo, and vector art. While Photoshop is the most used software in the design world, I have seen some amazing icons done in GIMP also. [url=http://www.gimp.org/]GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation[/url] Pixelmator is also used by some, it also can do amazing things it you have time. [url=http://www.pixelmator.com/]Pixelmator[/url] It all depends on how much energy you have to learn how to do things, and a lot of patience. Did you know that you can download a 30 day trial of Photoshop? [url]https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop[/url] [/QUOTE]
