Event: Making Exquisite Artwork using Open Source Software

Date: Saturday April 25th, 2009 at 1:30 pm and Sunday April 26th, 2009 at 12:50 pm

Venue: Trenton Computer Festival, The College of New Jersey, Ewing, NJ

Abstract: You can create beautiful illustrations, detailed drawings, professional publications, and exquisite artwork using free tools like Inkscape, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, and Scribus.  These are Free and Open Source counterparts to tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.  While they are not exact replicas of the Adobe tools, they can produce the same level of work.  Creative Commons is a way for artists to license creative work so that it can be used and shared in your own work, even for commercial purposes, without payment, as long as you follow some rules. Come learn how to free your creativity in a new way.
