This is about my third attempt at keeping up with a blog. The last one? Well, that required me to have a greater attention span than a five year old. It required constantly keeping up with taking pictures of random stuff I did while I experimented with things on Pinterest.
So why is this different? Because I do this stuff without thinking on a pretty much daily basis. What is it that I'm talking about? I'm talking about doing design work. One of my favorite things to do is design things and as that is going to be my major grouped with photography I should have plenty of projects to keep me busy and to share my bits of knowledge with people.
I've been working with Gimp since I was a 12 year old and since then I've been gleening knowledge from the internet in videos and tutorials. So here I am to share what I know with those who want to learn different things all in one place. If you've never heard of Gimp it's an image manipulation program similar to Photoshop, but it's free and therefore available to more people. You can download it here. It's fairly easy to use once you get adjusted to it, and despite popular belief, Gimp can do everything Photoshop can. You might just need to work a little bit harder, but the results will still be beautiful.
My goal here is to show people how to make beautiful images and random things through Gimp, but also to help convert some Photoshop tutorials over to Gimp tutorials. I'll be posting both easy-hard tutorials as I feel inspired and possibly some videos if I remember to actually turn on the camera to do so. And as I become more acquainted with Inkscape, the opensource version of Illustrator, I'll try to give some instructions on that as well. But I've just become more acquainted with it and after doing a coloring page in it I have successfully made myself want to throw anything similar to it out the window.
