Abstract:
This are the results of the research for the most eficient Graphic Design program to the current proyect of MappleStudios.


On may 5th I was consulted by MappleStudios to investigate about the latest graphic design programs on the market and advise about which could be the most apropiate for the new project they will be taking.

I have been testing the main and more profesional software of the main companies for both Windows and Mac Operating System. Also I have been trying both vector and pixel oriented software.
After a little research and taking into consideration the nature of the project (redo a company logo, with new typography and using different sizes) I think that Adobe's Illustrator CS5 will be the best choice because:

• It is easier to export the old graphic files into the Illustrator's Interface.
• It is a user friendy program to any designer who is familiar with Adobe's Creative Suite software, and MappleStudios already worked with Adobe Software.
• At last, although its the most expensive alternative, Adobe provides 2 years of tech support and free upgrades and patches.

Finaly, I can conclude that the Adobe Illustrator CS5 is the best choice for MappleStudios.
