and to make it somewhat easier: pdflatex???
There is an interesting alternative to LaTeX called ConTeXt. Look at
http://www.pragma-ade.nl for some examples what you can do with ConTeXt.
It's very easy to produce good looking PDF documents with interactivity.
So my proposed environment:
gimp for pixel graphics
sketch, (illustrator on mac) for vector graphics
and mpost for scripted graphics in ConTeXt
(look for metafun on pragma-ade)
ConTeXt (with pdftex) for composing and setting text
Hope this helps
Uwe
