Want to create
professional quality design without shelling out $$ for Photoshop? Then this
workshop is for you!
In this day-long workshop, we'll go in depth to discover
how to use two fantastic Open Source Design Applications: the GNU Image
Manipulation Program (AKA GIMP), and Inkscape.
The GIMP provides layers, effects, painting tools, and all of the
features that you have come to expect from a fully featured imaging application like Adobe Photoshop. Inkscape is a vector-based illustration and layout application, similar to Adobe Illustrator in its ability to manipulate text, shapes, paths, vector points, and colors.

Because these programs are Open Source Software, you benefit from the work of thousands of volunteer and professional developers, without having to pay anything for the use of the software.
In this workshop, you will learn to use these tools by doing a poster project step-by-step. By the end of this workshop you will be able to effectively use painting and drawing tools, brushes, layers, path manipulation, photo manipulation, effects, rulers and grids to meet against your most challenging design needs.
