Our school wants some students to try and design a yearbook cover.
i really wanna go all out on this.
it has to be turned in the 17th.
are there any programs that i could buy and learn to help me create this quickly?
thanks

Photoshop(700 bucks) if you want to make images. Paint.NET is a free alternative which requires 2.0 . both are very nice programs.

as for helping you learn quickly, no to both of them.

All image programs are pretty expensive. Also none of them are easy to learn.

I guess as an alternative to photoshop if you want to buy something you could get paint shop pro($100):

Macromedia Fireworks ($300):
