I saw some jaw-dropping designs at Dribble and Behance.

Can someone give the idea about tool kits required to make such beautiful things ?

Are there actually competitive free alternatives available ? I have been using GIMP, but not able to figure out if it actually possible to make such good designs with it.



Edit:

I am really interested in the minimalistic ones. eg :

There's a huge variety of work on Dribbble and Behance so the only way to answer this is with a short directory of other more focussed questions....


Most of the designs on Dribbble are UI designs, for that, see What software is best for GUI design?


TLDR: usually personal preference between Photoshop and Fireworks; InDesign can be good for info architecture

If cost is an issue, see also Lower-cost alternative to Photoshop and Is photoshop elements good enough for typical website mockups?.


TLDR: Photoshop Elements is a worthy lower cost alternative; also consider GIMP, Pixelmator and if your needs are very simple, web-based stuff.

Behance often features digital painting; for that, see Which tools for digital art & paintings.


TLDR: Photoshop/Elements is good for this too, but if you prefer something more like traditional painting, consider Autodesk Sketchbook or ArtRage.

For a general overview of standard design software, see What are the different applications in Adobe Creative Suite for?


If you don't know the difference between Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator (and the other stuff in Adobe CS), start here.
