Top 15 Free Mac Apps for Graphic Designers

Top 15 Free Mac Apps for Graphic Designers

I've been using my MacBook Pro since a while now and I must say: I really love it. The most common app(s) that designers use has to be Adobe Photoshop (Or the full suite). The app(s) are great, but there is a downside: The price tag. Photoshop CS4 costs $699, CS4 extended is $999 and the full Creative Suite starts at an stunning $1799. For many people this is just a little bit too much to "play around with".

Luckily, there are also many free applications out there that can do the same kind of job that Photoshop could do for you. This article rounds up the best 15 free Mac Programs for Graphic Designers. Some of these applications can even do stuff that can't be achieved using Photoshop, or are much more simple to use.

Keep your wallet in your pocket, since all these programs will cost you nothing.

But what are the places where you should try to capture a name? Here's a list of a couple of names that you should register at this moment (if you didn't do it already). If you wait, the name could be grabbed by someone else already!

You want to brand your name, so that once someone enters your name on a search engine, you'll be the only one that will be found. Here are a couple of tips.

There are a lot of design related blogs out there. Some better than other, some are just getting off the ground and others are leaving. The quality between the blogs can differ a lot, but they all have one thing in common: Love for (web)design.

This article will show the The roadmap from the Kingdom of design blogs, listing the greatest / biggest players in this game. These bloggers have the biggest influence on the design community, bringing you innovative articles every time a new one is released. They're always really creative and inspirational most of the time and bring you the highest quality of articles: These are the characteristics of some true royals.
