Hi I have used autocad before but I wouldn't suggest it for design and illustration because it is mostly used for architecture and is very costly!. Maybe you could try Gimp or Lunapic online both are graphic making programs that are free!? Photoshop is also helpful and there is Maya and Max if you want to make really advanced designs!. Maya is a program used to animation, and Max is used for video game design!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do not know what Auto-cad is but I can imagine it automated computer aided design!. If you want to do artwork on the computer get a mac!. Buy the adobe package, that is what the pros use!. Paint program would be good one also!. Any art program by Microsoft in my personal opinion is not worth the frustration!. It will cost a lot of coin but I have had my Mac for over five years and it still suits my need as I have had six IBM computers!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
