These images may be used for print, web design, social media, game characters, animation frames, and so forth. Inkscape was designed to create scalable vector graphics. If GIMP is the Photoshop of free software, then Inkscape is the free equivalent of Adobe Illustrator. Several filters and extensions are demonstrated as well.

Additional lessons explain the most commonly used operations such as: path operations, bitmap tracing, cloning, tiled clones, clipping, masking, patterns, offsets, and live path effects. While the pen and node tools are the most important to master, as they are the heart of vector graphics every tool in the Inkscape toolbar is covered in this course. This project is approached one element at a time with students creating their own copy of the design.

The course culminates with a major project - the creation of a colorful layout for a fictional board game. The progressive assignments help you master the concepts taught in the video lessons. This course gives you the best of both worlds - thorough step-by-step instruction on Inkscape's tools and features as well as hands-on, practical assignments for you to complete.
