In this week's question time I talk about whether it's best to learn Photoshop or Fireworks, what software I use to create these Question Time videos and I offer advice for designers who are just out of school and are looking for design work.

This week's questions:

- Hi Chris, I would love to hear your thoughts on the various design programs. I started out using Fireworks (Macromedia) for designing and just can't get my head around Adobe Photoshop. However it seems that every designer in the world is using PS.

- Hi Chris, I was just wondering what software you use to make/edit your 'question time' videos?

- I've just got out of school, do you have any advice for someone wanting to go out there on their own? How did you get started?
