Inkscape is fun, powerful, free and open source software for creating scalable vector graphics. Its native file format, Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) is a W3C open standard.

This in depth tutorial will give you the foundation skills you need to create simple graphics with Inkscape, and introduce the key concepts and terminology required to take your learning further.

Participants will undertake a series of tasks designed to introduce Inkscape's interface and tools for creating and modifying vector graphics.

Assumed knowledge: None.

New knowledge goals: Inkscape interface, creating shapes & lines, working with colour. Inkscape techniques, path operations, object manipulations. How to edit existing SVGs from wikimedia commons or openclipart.org

You don't need to be a designer, artistic or know how to draw. Just install Inkscape on your laptop, bring a mouse, come along and learn how to get the best out of this brilliant tool.

This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia.

linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
