I'm guessing level of skill. I can draw stick figures, but that's a far cry from making pretty pictures.

- monological 18y agoI think a lot of people underestimate what they can actually do. You can learn certain techniques, even if you lack natural talent. There are also a boatload of psd tutorials on web. check out http://psd.tutsplus.com/ http://psd.tutsplus.com/
- SwellJoe 18y agoInkscape might be a better choice. The tools are dramatically better for incrementally improving a basic idea. The GIMP rules for bitmaps, but vectors are a better tool for the job for a lot of stuff...like icons and such. There's a lot of good SVG artwork out the to look at for inspiration, and even borrowing within the bounds of the license. The Tango icon set is a great source. I'll also mention that we've only recently gotten serious about design and graphics, and we've been profitable (by some definition) for a couple of years.
