Hi everyone!
I’ve just joined this forum after a long time contemplating about getting back into graphic design. It was one of my favourite subjects at school and although I chose a career in Engineering, I have always still wanted to be creative in my spare time. I would love to be able to go to my computer and start designing a logo or design or even an illustration that I could print and frame. Although I can do this by hand I would like some advise from other graphic designers as to where I can start doing this on a computer. Should I buy an iMac? Do I need to buy specialised software and if so what would you recommend? Also, how can I get my work printed...would I need to find a specialised company to print my work on quality prints?
Any advice truly appreciated to help me get back into something I am passionate about
Many thanks!
JLO
