Hi Niki, welcome to the forum.

Sorry I'm not a professional designer but the tools you mentioned, Gimp, Inkscape are professional applications for the most part and can do just about anything Windows apps can do, less a great deal of expense that, for instance, Adobe programs cost.

The challenge will be your dedication to learning these programs and your artistic skills. We can help you with the first part, learning to use these tools. The trick will be developing your talent as a graphics designer and applying what you learn.

There are a great many sites on graphics design that you can learn about what other in the field are doing but from year to year style and design changes. What is "in" one year is out the next. Of course you can develop your own artistic style and set your own trends.

Good luck.
