Software Try-outs & Downloads (ALL FREE)

The following list are just some of the graphic art softwares I tested over the course of 2 years. 

These are NOT reviews, simply my listing what was tried and what was eventually chosen to best suit MY personal needs. I pretty much liked most of these!

Here's what I did use in the past: QuarkXpress, Microsoft Publisher, Macromedia suite (before bought out by Adobe), later, Adobe Photoshop and a little Illustrator.

Gravit Designer is associates with Google but since I couldn't get a proper link (forums, chat rooms, and mirror sites) from an official site, I'm just going to leave this here.

As I said earlier in my post, this wasn't a review post, just what I experimented with and I only picked what was 'easier and more intuitive FOR ME' to use. All these interfaces and user experiences were fun and enlightening to use, so feel free to try them out on your own!

And the beat goes on...

I finally uploaded all three documents to a cloud, merged the three (thesis, NaNoWriMo content, & the typing I did before, during & in between), and am doing the laborious process of formatting to an adaptable font so it can cross over to my desktop. All of this possible (so far!) on my Chromebook. I want to download to desktop this weekend. I won't take the chance of the new draft being entirely on a cloud. Must download quickly to its USB.
