So this is an explanation of the two key formats that you can spit out of Inkscape, the open source vector illustration program. I made it to explain the conceptual difference to my digital media communication class.

So, Iddrise will tell me book title ideas to see me get disgusted. I have decided to make covers for these books. Enjoy!
So A McDonald’s Angus Cheddar Bacon Onion (CBO) is 790 calories. It has loads of saturated fat, and for me, it’s over half of my daily calories in a single sandwich, and most of my fat allowance. I thought I might illustrate this using Inkscape. I imported a picture of the beast, typed 790 using the text tool, and using the space-bar-painting function, I used the 790 to paint the burger’s lines and shadows, then used the calligraphy and eyedropper tools to bring the color of the sandwich in. It looks like it’s very tasty, but I’m sure that it’s too much food for one person in one sitting, and it would surely make me ill.
I saw an image of two rings recently that used waveforms of the wearers saying the words “I do” as cutouts on the rings, and it inspired me to do a sketch of a waveform of me saying the word “open” which I have thought about as a tattoo. To make this sketch, I started by recording the word in Audacity, doing a screen cap of the user interface with the waveform, bringing it into Inkscape, doing a trace on the image, and adding some skin and ink tones, with a slight burn vignette.

sitting dark in the blue mist
never falling down.
