Take a shot.

Playing in Inkscape again.

Opinions? ::UPDATED::

The lovely lady with whom I am discussing the Geelong Brown Owls with, upon visiting my blog, suggested I might want to draw a logo for the group. I love a project (in fact, it’s almost the only way to get me to do anything…) so of course I agreed, but I decided that I wanted to do a “proper” logo, something a bit slicker than one of my drawings would be, & have been playing around in Inkscape.

I still think I am an absolute beginner with this program & don’t want to tell you how long it took me to get to this stage via various tutorials & helpful tips, but I would like to know what you think of these?

Which do you prefer (I won’t tell you my favourite)? I was going for a retro vibe, but not being a Graphic Designer I’m not sure if I’ve done enough or too much or am on the completely wrong track altogether!

:: I listened to Nic (She IS an expert after all) & although I had tried the thick outline with the beige oval last night, I didn’t really like it. Tried again this morning with fresh eyes & was happier, but had to add something… so below is yet another option. I like it! ::

More Inkscape…

A while ago I found Inkscape (a freeware alternative to Illustrator), used up some of my precious internet download limit & started playing with it.

It seems kinda hard to learn when you’re not used to vector based drawing programs, but I’m having fun experimenting. This was my first attempt, and below is something I made yesterday, playing with some clipart… just creating something so simple tested out my limited knowledge of the program, I’m thinking of getting a manual for it, rather than get lost in the gazillions of internet tutorials… have any of you lovelies had a play? Have you mastered it? Isn’t it fun?!

Inkscape.

Playing. With Inkscape. For hours. More later. Very tired. Must sleep....
