Marco,

   First of all, what you are *looking* for is a contradiction in terms.  A
"creative program".  It is the designer who is responsible for the creativity
of any artwork, and anyone who believe that they can click on a button and get
"creativity" is fooling themselves.  What you actually have is a preset,
limited array of automated filters and effects, creating something that
essentially a monkey could produce.  If that is the style you are aiming at,
fine, but don't delude yourself into believing that there is creativity
involved.
     Secondly, I went to your site.  I am not impressed.  It's one thing to be
pompous and actually be able to back up what you are boasting.  However, in
your case, I would suggest you keep a lower profile.  (And a word of advice...
Get a spellchecker for your graphics... I'm assuming "Autors" was *supposed*
to mean "Authors"... Don't even post an "English" version of a commercial
website if you can't speak the language well enough to communicate your ideas.
It's very amatuerish and highly unprofessional.  Or didn't the "best
international desginer" tell you that?)  
    And thirdly, I'm not sure how it works in *your* part of Italy, however
the way to get help on something is *not* by telling the people you are asking
help from that they are nothing, and that you are so much better than they
could ever be.  If, in fact, you *are* so good, why do you need *our* help?
Why don't you ask your friend, "The best international designer", these
questions?  I would think that if he  truly *is* the pioneering and
influencial designer that you claim him to be, you would have more resources
available to you and you wouldn't need to post on this list and ask us lowly
designers who could never hold a candle to your talents...  Or perhaps posting
such an arrogant message to the list was a "brilliant strategy" to increase
your website hits...  Hmmmm....?
    I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, merely suggesting an
alternative way of dealing with people whom you need help from.  But then,
you're young.  You may discover that as you grow and mature as a person *and*
a designer.  

Regards,
Red Haired Snipe
