How for newbie designers

[mark]

I am very new to designing and want to learn logo creation. But I dont have the budget to buy adobe photoshop. Is gimp a good free alternative or I should spend some bucks on Photoshop before I start?

And also please let me know if there is any other good software available for logo creation.

Thanks in advance

Hello!

There are two available options:

1. Use Gimp -> It has the same functionality as Adobe Photoshop
2. Use Paint.NET -> It is more user-friendly thank GIMP, but it doesn't have all Gimp/Photoshop functionalities
3. Use Inkscape -> It is more user-friendly thank GIMP, but it doesn't have all Gimp/Photoshop functionalities (it is good for linux)

Hope this helps!

Gimp is more similar to adobe photoshop but has less features then photoshop so its your wish to start with a free one or paid one

I'd advise to use vector programs for logo creation but it's not necessary. I would go with Illustrator and Inkscape.

I think like @Mourrought to use vector program for creating logos.
You can use Inkscape like free alternative, it is similliar to Adobe Illustrator. I use Inkscape when use Linux

In the internet world there are lots of software have those can make very nice, and those are helpful for who are new in this section, some of them are below:

- Jeta logo designer: in can design logo, web graphics and icons.
- Apple motion: 2d and 3d visual effects included.
- Logo maker: For registered user first 6 logo making is free, its has huge library for icons and logo.

These are some softwares those can works very well for logo design, its also works well for making nice icon.

As a newbie free will be nice choice to learn making logo, by this some tools can be helpful these are:

*Ucraft - for icons, text, shapes this tools works well.
*Canva- this tools so unique for its drag and drop options, for learning this tool is works fine.
*free logo design- if you dont have any idea how should you start create logo, then this tool is for you.
*design free logo- for 3d logo this tool is works good.

These are some free tools which works good for create logo, but if you want to make some unique then you have to pay

some bucks to express your creativity. By these way illustrator, corel draw, photoshop works best.
