At my new job I have to design flyers, tickets, postcards, etc. for arts events. Yay! I get to use a bit of my graphic design skills... Of course, since I work at a small non-profit, I have to do all this with Publisher. For a graphic artist, Publisher is likened to slowly stabbing a long, barbed skewer into one's eye. Being asked to do the simplest of photo corrections without even the most basic software... is like transfering the procedure to the other eye.

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
You should have them look into the Adobe Gifts In Kind Program. The non-profit for which I work got Photoshop 7.0 and Pagemaker 7.0 for, like, $50 each because of it.

Download the program you want to use. Most offer a thirty day trial, once they see what a magnificent flyer you can design with said program they might go out and buy it for you.
