: Best tool for minimalistic-themed graphics? Hey I would like to create art in the style of what's kind of modern since 2013 (I guess). Simple shapes, bright gradients and a generally "flat"

@Steve758

I'd also like to add that if you are in the lookout for a software to use anyway, do give a try on sketch 3.

Couple of pluses:


Vector based
Exporting in all kinds of resolutions
Developed for the web era (you can even export css attributes)
More affordable than Photoshop
There are as many sources for sketch as there are for psd (already)


Minus:


You gotta learn it from scratch.


If you feel the desire to invest time and money in an app, make sure to check it out. I recently purchased it and I am learning all the tricks.

Hope this helps.

Since I know you aren't looking for a philosophical answer, but more a pragmatic one, here goes.

Since you already have Photoshop, I'm assuming you have an affinity to Adobe products. The best Adobe program that creates simple vector graphics like these is Illustrator. It works well moving back and forth between photoshop for smart objects and such. It also has a lot of similar tools and effects that you will be familiar with.

I'd say go with that.
