Morning. I have been working with design for over 10 years now using only OpenSource Tools. I've worked at a Linux Education Institute where we had to develop courses and marketing (web, printed and for tv); and never had a problem. I also worked for my country's (.ve) and Guatemala's government (again, only OpenSource tools) and right now I'm building my personal business as a photographer (again, editing only with OpenSource).
I have seen people who do fantastic things using Non-Open tools, but I have also seen some terrible mistakes. For me, a professional designer is not about the tool, but more about the eye of the user who can put his/hers ideas on paper/screen. Have a great day. 2015-05-19 8:17 GMT-04:30 Christopher Wambugu <ch...@enmowe.com>: > I disagree with you to some extent. I'd say mostly.
