>What literature should I read to get into graphic design?
The sidebar on the /gd/ wiki has plenty of book reccomendations.
>What programs do I need to get started?
-Vector
Adobe Illustrator
Corel Draw
Inkskape
-Bitmap
Adobe Photoshop
Gimp
-3d
Blender
Cinema4d
>Which program is the best for X?
It's usually subjective if you pick a program in each of the right categories above. Use vector programs if your making a logo/icon/illustraton, use bitmap programs if you're messing with a photo or stock image. Gimp, Inkskape, and Blender are free alternatives and have the same function as the paid programs but the paid programs tend to be used more in a professional enviroment.

I can do half the shit I could do with AI in Canva with half the time and know-how necessary. My program constantly spergs out and completely shuts down any possibility of being productive with it, but ONLY when you're *just about* done. Not an issue with saving, but holy fuck if my laptop freezes up one more time while I'm working in the program I'm going to lose it.
