Does anyone know any good programs to help improve the graphics on my game? I’ve noticed all the great games have stunning graphics, and want to follow suit. Thanks for your help! [import]uid: 175550 topic_id: 31093 reply_id: 331093[/import]
Photoshop - if can’t afford $$$ version then Elements is affordable and can be had bundled with some Wacoms for < $100
GIMP a lot of people like, I hate it but each to their own 
Then it’s a matter of taking some tutorials.
That said, ultimately if you want great art and you are not an artist getting great software will not help you at all; you need to hire a professional artist for truly great art. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 31093 reply_id: 124281[/import]
I will try my best with Photoshop tutorials, ultimately I want 3D looking perspective images which make my game look stunning, ill see where i get

Hire a professional. The difference between a professional graphic artist’s output and a random programmer’s effort is night and day
If you’d like some referrals, I can give you some. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 31093 reply_id: 124289[/import]

Well, for my just-released app (see http://developer.coronalabs.com/forum/2012/09/17/math-rescue-released ) I worked with a great graphic artist. Take a look at the game, if you like the graphics contact him: Igor Ruiz - igorkostandin@hotmail.com He can give you some more examples of his work.
