We want to upgrade from Adobe Creative suite 1 to at least CS 3 at our office. We use mostly Illustrator and Photoshop. But the upgrade seems to be more important for Illustrator than photoshop.
-It needs to be relatively cheap to get approved so I am wondering the following:
a) Would it make sense to just upgrade illustrator or would that cause compatibility issues with the older version of photoshop?
b) We need to upgrade on 4 machines? How many upgrades would we need to buy.
c) What are the benefits of CS 4 vs CS 3?
d) Sicne CS4 is out does that mean CS 3 is cheaper?

I am trying to find inspiration graphics for a piece I want to create. I know I have seen what I am looking for sometime in my life.
The piece I am creating is for a mythical toy that is a disc shaped flying object. I want to make it in the guise of a 1930's or 1940's advertisement.
A boys face in wonder
A splashy graphical font across the top
The disc "comin' at ya" with wind sweeps trailing back
All in bold primary colors.
I have scoured the web for some source material, but keep coming up empty handed. Any pointers would be appreciated.
