Which Adobe program to get started on graphic design?

Trying to not flame you here. You're effectively asking "Should I learn to grill meat or bake cake?"

Your question itself implies that you don't know enough to even be purchasing one in the first place, as they are 3 separate programs - each stellar in their own regard, but also very (basically) very little overlap.

But. You did say "one program". so. If you wish to pursue graphic DESIGN, then get Illustrator. If you're more leaning towards being a graphic ARTIST, start with Photoshop.

Ah shit yeah I don't know anything about this stuff, just trying to expand my skills as a web designer. I want to be able to make logos and stuff like that for my client's websites.

What exactly is the difference between a graphic designer and a graphic artist? What do the two do?

I know I could google it but 4chan people are more practical in explaining things

This is just my own personal definition... but I've been doing this for 20 years, so I feel qualified to give the opinion...

Design is about communicating a brand, a message.

Artist is about communicating an emotion or feeling.

So - in your case - client logos - it's about branding. Go with Illustrator.

Okay so I see that you can make logos in photoshop too. The only reason I'm leaning towards photoshop is because it looks much easier than illustrator.

Is this a correct assessment?

Okay I am looking for a good download. Do you have a suggestion for one?

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it.

In some ways, it's definitely easier to learn Photoshop. But designing logos using it will certainly make you the mockery of other designers. Many times in this field, the technical method (and file type) **MATTERS** ... there are more factors of importance, than just what it looks like on the screen.

Just got a free trial of illustrator. Yeah you're right this is far superior. I love all the stuff you can do with this program.

Do you have a suggestion for the best way to become efficient with illustrator? I am not an artist of any kind, if that matters. I'm a web designer and classical musician so maybe I understand the basic idea of making something aesthetic

I'm just watching random YouTube vids on making logos so far
