A start-up in E-commerce, subsidiary of a 100-crore group is looking for Web-site designers and Graphic Designers on Open-Source alternative.
Can my friends here guide me on what is a good alternative and would you have someone wanting to work with such a company in the specified profile?
Regards and thanks in anticipation.

I second GIMP. Also consider inkscape. Recent browsers support SVG, inkscape creates fantastic graphics for the web. btw, it is also good for designing user interfaces as a specification.

I vote for Inkscape <http://inkscape.org http://inkscape.org/> and GIMP <http://www.gimp.org http://www.gimp.org/> combo too. Inkscape offers a great workflow and crisp vector graphics for interface design. GIMP is a great image editing and manipulation tool. And ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php for batch editing and quickly optimizing or converting images to different formats using a rich suite of command line tools. This combination has worked really great for my web designing needs.

Thank you all who replied... Going with GIMP and Inkscape as suggested.
Greetings,
Was Blender/SweetHome3D/LinuxCAD were also Suggested?
Sometimes they can be very useful for quick stuff where look and speed is important.
Also one can look into scribus for its CMYK and accuracy support for printed pages.
Anyways, installing them will just make them available on the hard disk for future usage in the graphic front.

Further reading at the site shows it is supported only on Windows platform (.NET). OP was asking for open source alternatives.
I second other's suggestion about GIMP and Inkscape.

Oh it is closed source now:

It works fine on Linux though (Mono implementation of .NET has enough muscle to run it) .

Last release (3.36.7) of Paint.net that was open source:
