Mostly PIXLR

I use Illustrator for fonts and placements but mostly PIXLR. For these designs apparently I'm not supposed to use Illustrator I should be using Photoshop but I don't have access to it and I've grown so accustomed to Illustrator that I just prefer To use that. PIXLR is incredibly useful at smoothing images out.

Illustrator is best for making logos and simple things but Photoshop is waaaaaayyy better especially if you know how to use it properly. PIXLR is my baby tho LOLOL and they've gotten even better plus it's free !!!

Ill check out Pixlr.

I just started use Gravit.

Comparable to illustrator and its free.

I just started designing...I got a good eye. But I know I got a lot to learn.

H. O. L. Y. SHHHHHIIIIEEEEET yo this Gravit joint is fuckin flames I'm checking it out right now

Man all the best fam, it's sooooo much fun. You might want to get in touch with @TonyDubbz and @Iceberg_Taylor they also do work with graphic design and can teach you a lot.

Me personally I started learning this to play CYOL prior to that I had very limited experience but I have imagination so that helped me learn it so fast. Also depends on what you're designing. If youre doing album covers try to learn as much about the artist as possible so you can create covers closer to their personality. That also helps with making effective covers. I find that the hardest thing is coming up with an idea of what you want. I've made covers in 5 minutes because I had the idea already whereas when you don't you have to take time to find that inspiration.

Its not the most important area that needs to be locked down but i mean whoever is able to take that category in these match ups is gonna be put in a good position.

Your covers aint gotta be A1 but if thats the case then you just need to make sure you gonna be able to lock down some votes when it comes to the other categories. Long as you confident in what you bringing to the table with all of that then you good bruh.
