Re: Software and employment questions
First get really really comfortable with a drawing programme it can be vector or bitmapped based but know it inside out. Then make a portfolio which can be online or not then get business, it can be friends, freebie's what ever and then tout your work to whoever will listen to you and take jobs for peanuts. You may think this very un-professional but you will get work to expand your knowledge. Please dont take any notice of people who say to you you're too inexpeinced for you to understand about design that is just silly. If you have ideas and can convert those ideas to something that people can understand then there could be a job for you in design in what ever format you want to explore just find a software package that you know well and take it from there you could be lucky. All the best to you!
The most important software for me, it has to be Acro, it does the biz for print and for the web, but is is it hard to learn, no, but it is the most impotant tool for me. Just think if your were sending something for print from IDesign on A4 how to you get the pages sorted? If you wanted a review from client would you send them the quality drawings in full PDF format? and the same can be said for any web site. You want to send low quality to any client.

Design is thinking made visual.
