well try first to start learning on the Corel Draw 8 or 11, it is very cool to start with.
then , with more experience and with advanced in it , u will probably know a lot of graphics design

You can get the 30-day trial of Photoshop and Photoshop elements from adobe.com

or you could just get the gimp (www.thegimp.org) which is free...

the GIMP is the best freeware photo editing program IMO but its user-friendliness is questionable.

Well.....unlike Photoshop, GIMPs tools aren't right in plain sight, you have to read a little in the documentation to really understand how to use it, Photoshop is more pick-up-and-play than GIMP but for a freeware program, GIMP can rival many commercial image editors after you find out how to use it. Look for tutorials and such.
