    Any graphic designers out there? :) How long have you been designing for and what's your preferred program of choice to design with?

    I use Adobe Photoshop CS6. Have been using it for years now! I'm no expert at graphic design but I enjoy it from time to time. How about you?

    I've been practicing graphic design for about a year. It's not really what I mostly do considering I mainly do digital art on the computer.
    Paint tool Sai is what I usually use to draw but, it does have helpful features when doing graphics and I also have an old outdated version of photoshop where I do most of my graphics.

    I use Photoshop CS6 and Paintool Sai as well. When I draw I used Photoshop do give them backgrounds to my drawing but when I make My Signatures is ONLY use Photoshop.

    I've been making sigs since 2007, and posters since 2011! I use publisher for posters and PS for sigs and stuff. I could probably whip up a good poster in PS too :>

    I don't know if I would call myself a designer, I just make sigs for fun. Made them out of boredom at first then it turned into a hobby that I actually enjoy!

    I've been making signatures for 5 years, I think. Started out in 2011 (or was it 2012?) when I first joined the site. I made my first few signatures using online graphic making tools then moved on to Photoshop CS5 when I felt competent enough to use it (I didn't know anything about graphic editing when I first began so I just messed around and hope something comes out of it, haha). Nowadays I use Photoshop CS6.

    I've been making tags and icons since...2004 or so? Also did a little bit of Pokémon splicing and recoloring up until 2009; I've done a few splices/recolors since, but not many. Around 2012, I began making animated gifs. This year, I edited photographs that I took for a course.

    Application-wise, I love Photoshop. I currently use CS4 since it has all the necessary tools to make pretty graphics~ Began using it in 2009 or 2010; prior to that, I used Gimp starting...sometime between 2006-2008. Prior to Gimp, I used MS Paint.

    I actually plan on majoring in Graphic Design, though I'm not as good as I wish I was. I've been tinkering with Creative Cloud since two years ago, and I use Photoshop Elements (I used CS6 instead for a while) at my house for the past 3-4ish years.

    I wouldn't really call myself a graphic designer, but I have been dabbling in design for a little while now. I haven't taken any design or drawing classes, I just taught myself various techniques through practice and watching tutorials onine. I didn't really get into drawing and designing until 2009 or so, so I haven't been practicing for that long. Most of the non-drawing design work that I do is forum signatures as well as logos and other similar things. I mainly use Photoshop CS5, as that is what I am most accustomed to using, but I also use Illustrator for some more vector-like works.

    I've been designing for a very long time. I don't remember how long but it was probably back in Elementary school. I normally use Photoshop cs6 or Adobe After Effects. Yes I love to make graphics in After Effects! It's a lot of fun.

    Lol I'm for sure not a graphic designer, but I do like messing around with signatures. I started in August 2014 when I first joined the site after being inspired by the now retired SOTW. When I first started, I used a photo-editing website called Picmonkey. After like a year, I moved onto GIMP for a few months, then onto Photoshop CS6. I don't make signatures too often nowadays, but I still enjoy making them. It's a fun hobby.
