Here’s How I Did It - Open Source Graphic Design

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sick of how Adobe-orientated a lot of computer graphics magazines and websites are. While I think these are good programs I don’t have the cash to shell out for Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign etc.
So why pay for programs like this when can do most of that stuff for free?

With this site I’ll show you graphics created with the free alternatives like Inkscape and GIMP and how they were made. The tutorials will range from the most basic to more advanced articles. I’ll also touch on layout, design and web development.

I don’t claim to be an expert so if you have a more efficient method for doing the same thing please do comment and let me know.
