Another program I have recently discovered is Inkscape. It is a vector illustrator program much like Adobe Illistrator but free. It has all the basic functions for creating logos, fliers, or any other original artwork you need. I've found it useful to copy and paste clip-art from Publisher so that you can edit the images.

I don’t know about that… it was pretty cool to knock back espresso and talk about our research there in the stacks.

George? Is this you? This project is WAY cooler than the bloggers’ table at the British Library.

Another great place for color picking is ColourLovers.com. It's like social networking meets colors.

Adobe also has Photoshop.com which gives you some pretty good Apple iPhoto-like features and some online storage. Getting an account there is absolutely free.

Cool stuff. Thanks for the info. Someone just sent your link out via the listserv in my grad program. I’ve always been a PS user but think it would fun to try out some of these others.

For photo editing, there's also Picnik which I've used a bit and is very fast and easy to use. Flickr uses Picnik as a photo editor, which speaks to the quality of the tool.

EDIT: Matt beat me to the punch. But take this as two votes up for Picnik.
