I am very clueless about where to start with a business. I am so sick of seeing Winnie the Pooh, Flowers, Butterfly, Zoo, Jungle Nurseries and the list goes on.

I want to start my own Nursery& Kids product company. For new creative theme`s and design`s for the little guys. I already have some idea`s and picture in my mind of how I want them to look. I can`t draw but I do have adobe photoshop CS2.

Is adobe photoshop a good program for designing patterns and product designs?

Also where do I start with like finding someone to make prototypes?

I love children`s design and heard that the area of Nursery&Kids products are the fastest growing market in luxury. I figure you only live once and I should take this risk or I will regret not trying.

Any Advice would be wonderful!

Long ago, I heard a terrific expression about computers: Whatever you can do or can`t do, a computer will do it 100 times faster.

Point being that if you can`t draw, Photoshop will make it 100 times more evident. :-D

Personally, I prefer PowerPoint for designing basic pattern ideas. It`s fast, easy, and you can grab a shape quickly. But even there, I`d just as soon sketch it in the most primitive form on paper. I can`t draw either, but I can draw "enough" to show an artist sort of what I`d like to have happen.

copyright law can protect the creative expressions.

Okay well I think I will just draw on paper and maybe ask an artist friend of mine to draw it out. I am still looking into it all, thank you both for your advice.
