          affordstore,

           

          You may use one, two, or three, of them, depending on the occurence and special requirements of vector artwork, raster artwork, and text.

            I would use Illustrator for the document setup.  Plenty of fire power using typography tools, color, etc.  Believe it or not, I still start with a sketch or a rough pencil comp and show those if necessary.  Once the layout has been approved, then I can move on to preparing image files ( Photoshop ) at 100% final size for "Placement" into either Illustrator or InDesign.  I like Illustrator because it is faster ( for me ) and I can create a final PDF on the fly.  I would avoid doing any type of print work all in Photoshop.  File size and manageability quickly become issues.  How many images are you planning to use in the flyer?  Have you decided on a print vendor yet?  If so, discuss the project with them and get their file requirement checklist.

             

            And, take a look into Adobe's "Print Publishing Guide" for more info.  A very helpful resource.

              It really depends on what is being designed.

               

              If you are designing a flyer which consists of mainley pictures. I would use PhotoShop.

              If your design includes text and pictures with boxes filled with content & shading. I would use Illustrator.

              If your flyer has lots of text, boxes, tables with prices, dates or even it includes coupons, applications, etc. i would use indesign.

               

              Or like Jacob said use them all. Design the graphics in PhotoShop & put them together in indesign or illustrator. the good thing about these programs is that you can save your file as CMYK & will avoid headache of dealing with RGB..
