Graphic Design is a field where we can be doing image editing (Adobe Photoshop), illustration (Adobe Illustrator), 3D modeling (Cinema 4D) and etc. Graphic design allows us to help people design letterheads, business cards, and you can get a freelance job after knowing graphic design.

GIMP is a software for photo and image editing. GIMP can be used to create graphics and GIMP is used to create graphics with pixels or raster. Raster image consists of pixels when enlarge will be blurred. A raster image is usually photos like png. Inkscape is used to create vector image. Vector image when enlarge will not be blurred like raster image, because it uses vectors and calculations. Dia is used to create figures.
