Making music

There are tons of great music creation programs on the market these days that enable you to get really creative and make all kinds of tracks and pieces of music.

If you want to make a career out of music, you could even have a company like Pure Music Manufacturing create professional CDs of your tracks so you can send them off to record companies.

Graphic design

Programs like Photoshop are excellent, they’re industry professional tools but are available for anyone to buy. If you’re an artist or a photographer then you might have played around with this program before, but along with Adobe Illustrator you can create some incredible pieces of design in their own right. Maybe you want to be able to design your own graphics and logos for your businesss or perhaps you want to create fun prints and designs for your home. You might even want to set up an Etsy shop and sell what you make and create custom pieces to order.
