Just shows how much catching up I need to do, didn't even know about InDesign until I joined this forum!? (was all quark and freehand back when I was a student) :embarassed
Here's hoping this guy can get me a decent iBook, looks like most of my cash will be going on the adobe software (if it doesn't have any already on it).
Good point about the second hand aspect, think im going to go with an IBook rather then a PC, i have access to a PC already so ok on that front. Am I right in saying Apple only give you 1 years warranty though?
Thanks, im hoping to get a second hand one through my sisters friend (IT technician), hoping he can get one with Illustrator and Photoshop already on it. Didn't know about indesign!? What would you suggest is a reasonable price for a second hand laptop? Sorry for all the questions! :)
Thanks for the replies :)
Just looking at second hand G4 & G3 laptops, any models I should avoid? Also with regards to software any specific versions of Photoshop and Illustrator I'd be better off getting?
For the last 5 years I've been an admin worker for a financial company, prior to this I did a BTEC ND at my local college. I had a few interviews for design agencies when I left college but due to the fact I had no office experience I was always unsuccessful.
I want to get back into Graphic Design, I've had a good read through the site and taken a lot of info from it. Going back to college full time isn't possible, I need to keep working full time so could only do a part time course if it was in an evening. Would I be frowned upon for only having an ND by employers?
I'm looking into doing some design work for my sister (logo, letter head, biz card etc) and hopefully other people to beef up my portfolio, problem is I'm looking at second hand ibooks and not sure what minimum spec I need!? :embarassed (just got a pc at the mo and hate it!) I'm experienced in photoshop and illustrator with some knowledge of quark and freehand, any other packages I should be investing in?
Any help, tips and advise would be greatfully received :)
