So there are a ton of amazing designers on this board and I wanted to know, what software do you use to make your artwork. Like Wheels, Pick-Ups, Prize Envelopes, and other wedges as a few examples! Whether PowerPoint and Paint or Photoshop and Illustrator, I would LOVE to know!  |

Depends. I mostly use a free Photoshop clone called Paint.NET for wedges, but when I need to make shapes for something, I usually use Powerpoint. For example, my Wheel overhead shots are made entirely in Powerpoint combining dozens of rendered shapes. The Wheel layouts I always make in Paint.NET.

I've been making Wheel illustrations for about ten years now. When I first started I used Powerpoint to make the Wheel templates. I then used either MS Paint or Arcsoft PhotoImpression 5 to color in the wedges. Then I used Microsoft Picture It Publishing 2001 to put in the numbers. In the Fall of 2007, I was introduced to Microsoft Publisher, which I now use to put in the numbers. I also use Publisher to make Wheel templates that use an odd or large number of wedges. In 2010, I discovered the Set Transparent Color tool in Powerpoint, which I eventually used to help make gradient and sparkly effects possible. I sometimes use this tool on Publisher if need be. When I adopted a lineless style in early 2013, I still used Powerpoint or Publisher to make the templates and MS Paint to smooth the templates out so they can be colored in more easily. If anyone wants to use the template provided below, they may. I may make one with a proper center. germanname.deviantart.com/art/72-Wedge-Lineless-WOF-Template-for-Paint-487640650So, yeah. The tools I use currently are as follows. Powerpoint or Publisher to make the templates MS Paint to color in each wedge or smooth out the templates before coloring in each wedge PowerPoint or Publisher to put in gradient effects Publisher to put in the text and values. At times, if I need a transparent wedge, I use the Transparent color tool while putting in the text and values. Although I used Photoshop, I rarely did so, and I never owned it. In fact, I never even used it to make any Wheel illustrations either. Even so, I do use GIMP, although it's only to make animations such as these. germanname.deviantart.com/art/Germanname-WOF-September-2015-Intro-563236135germanname.deviantart.com/art/Germanname-Fall-2015-Puzzle-Board-569344306 |

I use paint.net. Possibly the easiest software to use to make your wheel layouts.
