Interesting spin on a blog I found on Google Plus

I sometimes struggle with coming up with ideas on what to write about and sometimes I really don't have to write anything such as posting a picture.

This blog is called Running from Camera which is a simple blog on running from the camera. He sets the camera for a self timer and runs away from the camera. Thats the blog.

Inkscape vector software

I love to draw but even more on the computer. I knew Illustrator was way to expensive for my budget and the learning curve can be steep if you are not familiar with Adobe products. Corel draw is a less expensive alternative if your looking for a vector program and to be honest I believe it is easier to learn in comparison to Illustrator.

If you are familiar with Corel Draw then your in luck. You can get the power of Corel Draw without having to pay for the program. No I'm not going to refer you to a boot leg but an alternative vector program 90 percent similar to Corel Draw.

Inkscape which is a an open source program offers many of the features Corel Draw without the price tag. I have used Inkscape in my part time business to create business cards, and mainly to design t shirts.

If your not familiar with what vector drawing is, here is a simple explanation. I vector drawing will not become pixalated such as a photograph that that has been blown up 10 to 15 times its original size. What this means a vector design no matter how large or small will not lose its original design.

Google Inkscape and see for yourself. I will be posting in the future tutorials on how to use Inkscape
