Vector is the preferred artwork for Design Shop.

  Carol & Susan...
  do you also do your artwork and designing on your mac and then
  slide it over to the Design Shop side? I run Macromedia Freehand
  and Photoshop...usually just end up with vector lineart or I think jpg
  is what Design shop likes but 95% of my work is vector.
  Could easily add another mac to the line up here-putting a new
  minimac (V 10.6) on line as soon as I get a monitor adaptor and I'm
  wondering if that would run the windows you talk about...
  would be so much easier to run design shop over here while I'm doing
  artwork..

  Hi Roland, this leads me to my next question - so far I don't do any 
designing or artwork, 
  when I need something done I just get my child to do it. He just graduated 
from
  art school in the spring (industrial design, anyone have a job for him?) so 
he is a real
  genius with illustrator and all the other programs. However, I know he won't 
be living in the
  basement forever, so my question is which program to use. I know a lot of 
people use Corel
  Draw, however, since he uses illustrator and can start teaching me to use it 
before he
  heads on to his adult life, I figure that's the one for me to use. 

  So now please share with me everyone, your experiences with art programs to 
use with DS. 
  I just discovered yesterday when trying to use autodigitize (basically 
worthless as far as I
  can tell) that you can click on a button to edit your artwork (using whatever 
program you have)
  while in the autodigitizing mode. This made me reflect on losing my "in house 
designer" one of
  these days.
