Greetings,
Anyone out there who's designed/ordered a set, what's the "best" graphics software out there? Have heard a few things about A. Illustrator. Thanks

Adobe Illustrator is likely your best bet. It has the most powerful and versatile tools, and will make the most universal files for print. However, if you’ve never used it, it has so many tools and options, it can take a while to grasp.
I also recommend having a good idea what your design is before you start. It’s a tool, so while it won’t make the design for you, will help you create your vision.

Adobe Illustrator seems to be the gold standard. I think that some of the great designers on the site may use other software as well. I currently only have experience with AI though.

I use Photoshop but only because I have it and I'm more familiar with it. Illustrator is really more designed for it.
