Introduction to Inkscape

INKSCAPE is an Open Source Vector graphics editor similar to Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw or Xara X, which uses the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Inkscape can create and edit complex vector graphics and save them in a variety of formats. These illustrations and drawings may be used for Desktop Publishing, in your presentations and documents. Thus it may benefit everyone who requires graphics for presentations or any type of document. In particular it will be very useful for the graphic designer, web designer and the desktop publisher. There are no pre-requisites for learning Inkscape.

The version of Inkscape for this series is 0.48.1. Inkscape may be used under all flavours of Linux, Windows and Mac Operating Systems.

Please see the associated text box of individual spoken tutorials on the website to decide the versions of software and OS to which it is applicable.

The Spoken Tutorial effort for Inkscape was contributed by Saurabh Gadgil, Arthi Anbalagan and Shital Joshi from the Spoken Tutorial Project and is supported by Nancy Varkey from IIT Bombay.

Learners: High School and UG/PG students who wish to learn desktop publishing work - creating banners, posters, brochures, CD cover image, artwork for textiles, etc.
