Open Source option?
How did you do?
Did you notice which were Open Source and which were
Adobe?
The answers: None of them were made with any Adobe product
Gimp/Gimp shop
The first seven slides were all made using Gimp or Gimpshop. Both are Open Source alternatives to Photoshop.
Inkscape
The rest of the images were created using Inkscape. This is an Open Source alternative to Illustrator.

As an added testimony to Open Source, this presentation was made using Open Office Impress.
An Open source alternative to Powerpoint which also has animation an web development tools built in.
