Hi, friends! This week, I'm using Inkscape to repair AI-based images from Gemini (Nano Banana). We use the text tool for the first time in the series, the dropper tool, the gradient tool, and we place text along a path. Check it out, and let me know what you might like to see next.

This week in Design for the Non-Designer, we return to some key basics in Inkscape. We will explore why, when, and how to save files. We will also cover how to export or import files. I hope you enjoy it, and if you have questions or feedback, let's talk about it in the comments.

NJLLA Logo
This week in Design for the Non-Designer, we're going to step away from the basics of Inkscape. We will perform a real-world task: restoring clean lines and edges to a pixelated logo. I discuss importing, bitmap tracing, node-editing, saving, and exporting in Inkscape. Special thanks to NJLLA for allowing me to use the task as an example for everyone!
