hi,
i'm a little bit of a computer illiterate but i want to know what program(s) should i use if i want to make cg (computer graphics)?

Username Here

what kind of computer graphics? simple images, or something complex like vector graphics?

for simple things a free program called gimp or a paid program called Paint Shop Pro are good they can be found by a simple Google search. For more complex things, you can get into the adobe suites etc but you get quite professionalized.

hope this helps,
Louis.

I agree with the above answer and just wanted to add the quote below which is from the following site Computer graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which might give you more of an idea as to how to answer the question posted above.

Quote:

Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science and is concerned with digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Although the term often refers to three-dimensional computer graphics, it also encompasses two-dimensional graphics and image processing. Computer graphics is often differentiated from the field of visualization, although the two have many similarities. A broad classification of major subfields in computer graphics might be: Geometry: studies ways to represent and process surfaces Animation: studies with ways to represent and manipulate motion Rendering: studies algorithms to reproduce light transport Imaging: studies image acquisition or image editing
