This was a late revision (the final is slightly different) in a recent project where I had the privilege of helping to design and produce a trade show banner set for Hamilton Township. I used Inkscape to gather, layout, and design the panels according to client specifications, and then brought them into SketchUp to help the clients visualize what the product would look like. Thanks to Hamilton Township for a fun and challenging project!

Date: April, 2011
Venue: Monmouth Mall meeting space
Abstract: In this session, I gave an overview and demo of the open source vector design application known as Inkscape, followed by a brief exercise in the free 3d modeling tool from Google called Sketchup. .
Commentary and notes:

I just had a wonderful visit with my friends at Brookdale Computer User’s Group: Graphics SIG, where I got to talk about Inkscape and Sketchup. On the way home, I studied the various colors, shapes and illusions of the road, and decided to share what I remembered about it. Thanks, BCUG, you always make me feel very welcome and quite appreciated.

This is another case of using the free three dimensional application from Google named Sketchup in my workflow to introduce 3d letterforms into my Inkscape sketch. I went a bit further than the last time in using color, mood, and background in order to push the forms forward a bit. Hope you liked it!
