Do you make your own graphics? If so, what do you use?

I make all of my own graphics from scratch. I use GIMP to make my graphics as I don't have the cash or reason to purchase Adobe Photoshop when GIMP works perfectly fine.

Always sworn by GIMP since I was just a wee lad, but never really gave PS an honest shot until the other day when I was following along with a tutorial to make some fancy text and man... PS really blows GIMP out of the water. I could definitely achieve something close to what I ended up with in GIMP, but PS has some really great layer options.

I tried GIMP once. I was surprised by how good it was.
I use photoshop and have always used photoshop.

Depends what you're creating really, I find Canva.com is really good and the majority of features are free, there is a premium version for extras. Would always advise giving the site a go before you buy an expensive version.

I used to dabble into graphic design but I haven't really done it in years. I admire others who do.

I always make my own graphics, the exception being whenever I make sites with loads of icons. In that case, I use Font Awesome or Feather Icons to cover me on the icon-front.

I mainly use Illustrator to create graphics, as I love SVGs!

I'm too lazy to download and use graphic software so I just use Gravit Designer on their website. The tool is pretty great and good enough to make some basic graphics like logos.

I used to be heavy on the photoshop. And now I have moved to the canva. And for me that works just fine. The reason being using the graphics of that type it always helps out with the browser. You don't have to pay too much for the photoshop.

I occasionally make my own small-scale pixel art in GIMP or MS Paint, but that's about it.

I don't do larger-scale graphics, because I'm terrible at that :p .
