Just bootleg a copy of photoshop.  I use 7 and it works just fine.

There's a torrent link for the copy I use, I can guarantee it's virus free.

Graphics companies like it when you use Corel. Corel works with Photoshop and Illustrator, but Photoshop and Illustrator don't work with Corel. So you can take a Corel graphic and put it into Photoshop or Illustrator, but not the other way around.

definately Illustrator man1 -- but there is no way to get it legal, without payin a massive load. Maybe Freehand (is a little bit easier for beginners) - but it is also not free. 
If you want good graphics, you need something better than paint for shure.

Maybe it is enough for you to just use a test version for your design ... http://macromedia-freehand.softonic.de/
