Some sigs (mostly vector/cell shading)

whats a good vector programme? Fireworks.......

and hang on..... vector is when you make pics out of lots of custom shapes right?

Illustrator is a good vector program

Vector vs Raster:

Vector has math behind every shape, line or area. Raster has its math behind every pixel. Meaning if you want to get rid of a line or move it you have to do it pixel by pixel. Layers, Paths, and Style sets allow you to get a little bit of feel of Vector in Photoshop, but not much.
