Reflection #4

My original thought was that Inkscape shared basic similarities Window’s Paint program and Photoshop. After playing around with different tools on Inkscpae I came to the conclusion that it’s very user friendly. I had no problems using the different shapes, colors, or imaging tools. Compared to the Paint program I could also see that Inkscape possessed tools and options that the Paint program lacked. One that I really like is the ability to add and manipulate layers; same as the Photoshop program but much easier to use. Layers allow me to create complex pieces of work with little to no hassle. My plan to is to continue to explore the program because I know there’s always something new I can learn. This is a really cool tool to use to make posters for the classroom, flyers and notices to students, parents, and co-workers, and students can also use it to complete class projects.

  1. Seemed like you had more fun with the program than I. Yes, come to think about it, it is similar to Photoshop. It took me awhile to master that program (half of the semester I took that class in high school) to fully enjoy the program. I think you'll be using this more in the future too!

  2. Inkscape is a lot like Photoshop, and now that you pointed it out it will be much easier to use! It was very easy to figure out and will definitely be useful in the classroom and fun to use for this class as well.
