This is a place to discuss topics about visual or graphic design. Requests for photoshopping or free work go on /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests or /r/ - Adult Requests as appropriate.

>What literature should I read to get into graphic design?
The sidebar on the /gd/ wiki has plenty of book reccomendations.
>What programs do I need to get started?
Vector
Adobe Illustrator
Corel Draw
Inkskape
Bitmap
Adobe Photoshop
Gimp
3d
Blender
Cinema4d
>Which program is the best for X?
It's usually subjective if you pick a program in each of the right categories above. Use vector programs if your making a logo/icon/illustraton, use bitmap programs if you're messing with a photo or stock image. Gimp, Inkskape, and Blender are free alternatives and have the same function as the paid programs but the paid programs tend to be used more in a professional environment.
>What font is used in this image?
Try these sites before posting a tread asking for fonts:

>Can somebody photoshop X? Can somebody make me a logo?All requests for photoshopping belong on /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests or /r/ - Adult Requests. /gd/ doesn't take requests or do free or even paid work sometimes. However, if you're new at something, asking "HOW can I X?" rather than "CAN YOU make X?" will give you better results.>Can I post some of my work for critique?There is usally a critique/What-Are-You-Working-On thread, and that is where work for critique go.>Can somebody find [font]?http://www.mediafire.com/download/027xjs3ujvyqxmd/Fonts.zipalso check out your local torrent site or the font-share thread.Remember to share and not just take. Also remember that using liscensed fonts in commercial works is a bad idea.>Where can I find inspiration?http://www.behance.net/http://dribbble.com/http://graphicdesign.wikia.com/wiki/Inspiration
