Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editing software, with a modest learning curve. It is powerful for many things, from basic to advanced, and a high-end computer is not required. Many amateur and professional graphic designers use Inkscape for their jobs. The good news is that you don’t have to be a graphic designer to benefit from this tool. If you love crafting, that’s enough. This book will guide you through it.
This book is divided into three parts. Part I features various examples, including scarf designs, artworks for books, papercrafts, and textile arts. From these examples, you may get inspired or find some clues about what you can do with Inkscape.
Part II serves as a quick beginner’s guide. You will learn a comprehensive introduction to Inkscape. Various commands and tools on Windows will be explained, one by one. You can use the knowledge gained from this part to create logos, infographics, etc.
Learning by doing is the best. In Part III, we offer beginner-friendly examples of various crafts. This makes the book very unique, as it combines computer graphics and crafts in one place, being a 2-in-1 bonus for many crafters. A brief description will be given for each craft type to support diverse readers.
This part starts with general crafts, such as seed bead, cross-stitch, and patchwork quilt designs, that will familiarize you with a few basic Inkscape tools. Then, it continues with seamless pattern designs. Next, please have fun with three distinct papercraft projects; layered cutting art, origami tessellation, and geometric paper model. Finally, the techniques that create certain sewing patterns; flared skirts, and bucket hats, are introduced. Perhaps, not all crafts presented here might interest you. However, we encourage you to try them all, at least on the screen, to practice various Inkscape skills.
For a versatile tool that can do so many things like Inkscape, using it regularly, especially with something you love, will enhance your knowledge and skills. You will never regret knowing this set of digital stationery. We hope you will like and enjoy the book.
