Gimp

GIMP is a powerful software with wide functionality, many tools and filters, and it supports many formats used in digital imaging.

Inkscape

Inkscape is an other powerful Open Source software. It is professional quality vector drawing software that works on Windows, Mac OS X and GNU / Linux. Inkscape is used by professional designers to create a wide variety of graphics such as illustrations, icons, logos, diagrams, maps and renderings for the web. Inkscape uses the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) standard as the starting format. Unlike other software where we work in pixels, in Inkscape we work with vectors. A vector image is made up of coordinates, curves, and equations of all kinds. And the advantage of this format is that you can enlarge your creation or your image to infinity, it will be identical and will not lose any quality, because we are working on vector drawing.

Equivalent to InDesign software from the Adobe series, Scribus has nothing to envy its famous competitor, indeed the possibilities are impressive.
