photoshop ?

It can do just about anything. I would say quark is stil probably the Pro\'s choice

photoshop can be rough if you don\'t know how to use it, also it\'s expensive and can be a pain to pirate(tried before)..i think publisher is pretty straight forward and already has decent templates to work with.

matty i have to go into the office today to finish up some shit, i\'ll see what i can do with a cd burner :)

definintely NOT photoshop, you would want illustrator instead. Photoshop is for photographs, illustrator is for layouts and design.

quark would be the best program to use, but its more difficult to learn and perform basic tasks. Publisher would be the easiest to use, but for me it would not be professional enough. Illustrator is right in the middle and probably your best choice unless you have absolutely no idea what you are doing at all. and if thats the case i dont know why you would even have to make a brochure in the first place.

i understand the basics of the programs. the reason im making a brochure is to try to save some money.  i have a printer who does all my business cards and letterhead but to have her do a brochure would cost mucho deniero, around two grand. so i would like to cut a little bit of overhead out of the equation. thnx guys
