the BEST computors for graphic design are defonately macs.In pretty much all graphics studios all the computors are macs, you will need programs like photoshop, adobe illustrater, indesign, quark express. Obviously you will need some means of printing, depending on how huge your business will become.
First off you need contacts, excellent contacts and a very high end portfolio or your not going to make a penny without them.
You need about 4 grand over all, for software and your seat (licences), a high spec notebook, a decent printer a touch that can print A3 for proofing. You will need your own promotional work, business cards, letter headings and what not. I had brochures and A6 dual sided postcards on art board printed too. Then you will an office, it’s all well and excellent working from home but if say your starting a studio no new business will touch you with a home address.
Depends what you want, if you just want to go freelance for abit and your havnt got much money just download the software and work from, aslong as you tell the tax man what you earn your be fine, Mr Adobe wont be able to throw you to the lions because their more bothered about the public earning the huge bucks and can afford to be sued.
Excellent luck anyway
