  Old  Hello there people

My name is Jon.
I am currently looking for work as a freelance graphic designer,
I finished my training in graphic design in april 2002 and unfortunately could not find work. I recently decided to turn back to graphic design after a string of failed employment. However my skills are rather rusty. I am also looking to get into web design/development however do not possess the programmes for this.
I was wondering which programmes are the best for this and would greatly appreciate any help and advise that any1 would be able to give me.
Thank you all,
J. Asur-Robinson

Welcome to the forums Jon.

As for programs to use:
-Adobe Photoshop
It would probobly be the best, especially if you are looking to get back into graphic design as an occupation, but even as a hobby it will be good.

Welcome to Talkfreelance Jon!

Photoshop is the standard for doing page layouts. I use Illustrator for my logo/vector work though, and export to Photoshop for web page layouts.

Then I slice it all up and code it as tableless xhtml/css
