Microsoft Paint
You are an aspiring graphic designer. You've researched a company you would like to work for, you just need to create a portfolio to impress them. The only problem is, you're short on money. You don't have the luxury of buying $300+ digital design programs. So instead, you use Microsoft Paint that came with your laptop.
You research the company's clients and examine each logo they have. Being the artistically advantaged individual you are, you see much room for improvement. So you work tirelessly for a couple of weeks on Paint, drawing, copying, cutting, and coloring four or five different logos. You can now add this to your collection of artwork.
You set up a meeting with the CEO of the company and present your portfolio to them. Despite using a low-cost program, the CEO is blown away! They hire you on the spot! Now you have a higher paying job and can afford to buy those costly graphic design programs- but you always enjoy playing around with your old friend, Microsoft Paint.
