You've got a decent set of software there, everything you need for what you're trying to do.
I use Photoshop to create designs for websites, banners etc, Dreamweaver to build websites, and illustrator for vector work (logos etc).

LOGO DESIGN - Def Illustrator.

WEB - Either Illustrator, export to Photoshop, or just start in Photoshop.

ImageReady is nice. you can export as DIVs/Layers rather than Tables. Nice option.

It works well alongside Go-live which is good for learning.

Laura, I don't use Go Live actually, I go with Dreamweaver. Not sure how much longer Go Live & Dreamweaver will be separate programmes.

I had a look at both and for some reason when I started out I could only get DW to produce tables and I was told they were BAD. But when I have a dabble with GL it produced divs (only absolute but when you're a beginer it's a good start) and I guess I new the addobe UI a bit better.

Laura,
I've only played with GL as it came in the bundled software. I'm just wondering what's going to happen under one camp. I can't imagine Adobe would want to support both. DW has a bigger following, far as I can tell.
