'Unimount' Does it seem familiar? Paramount Studios was the inspiration... It seemed a natural fit for the Inkscape mountain landscape. I'm traditionally a Corel Draw user (since 1989) and was a professional graphic designer for many (many) years. Now I also teach computer graphics (among other computer-ly things) to high school students. We first used Inkscape as the 'free' and open alternative to Corel Draw or Illustrator (for PCs). As I and my students used it extensively over the past several years, we found it stands by itself on its own and not just because it is 'free' but because it works and meets the needs and expetations of my students and myself. With each consecutive update, it becomes more stable and I'm compelled to use it more and more often. Thanks for the cool software and the means to show off some new related skills.
I am putting this question out to the community. How does one convert jpeg from Photoshop Elements 6.0 into vector art that has clean crisp edges not pixel-eated ruff edges.Thanks.
I love inkscape! I used and have illustrator (came with the production suite) and I do prefer inkscape. Much more simple and easy to use (IMHO) and yet can still produce excellent work such as this! I think you did a really good job! I like how you incorporated some of the elements, such as the what-ya-ma-call-it transform border around the cloud when it's selected or the other cloud when editing nodes. I also love the 3D effects on the icons the most!
