My favorite app for this kind of thing is a free one. Inkscape. It's also easy to use and uses standard SVG. http://inkscape.org/
Also very useful for creating AI maps (site flow diagrams). If anyone is interested I can email you a copy of my svg template file with the template site flow elements. Just email me off list.
