hey, all!
first of all, i got a new computer! YIPPEE!! it has a big 19" monitor! i got that because i figured i should have a big screen for the t-shirt biz.
anyway, when i ordered my computer, i tried to get corel draw software. the person from the computer company and i talked about my needs and, with the price she quoted, i thought i was getting corel draw.
well, it turns out i have corel photo shop! not what i requested at all. it might come in handy after i get a digital camera, but that's not what i asked for.
i went to corel's site and i see that the software is kind of expensive and there are several different options. so i need help in deciding what i need.
i have a SS shop operational now (i've sold 3 shirts!!) and i'm working on another one. with the first shop, i used SS's design system even though i felt limited, especially because of the limited font options. the shop i'm working on now is for kids and i really need more font options.
as some of you know, anything that is submitted without using SS's system must be in vector. i understand that i can do that with corel. i'm not a designer, but i want to be able to do some designing myself, you know, easy stuff. but mainly i do slogans, so i need a lot of font options.
i have a very limited budget and even if i get things straightened out with the computer company, i feel that i need to know what would best serve me.
on ebay i saw corel draw suite 13, corel draw suite 12, and on corel's site i saw corel draw suite X3. (i can actually get a free trial which is very cool.) what do you guys think would best serve me?
sorry for the long post. LOL! i'm kind of detail-oriented.
thanks!
