The first video in a new How Two series on Font Art in Inkscape! People have wanted to do more with text for their designs and that is what this series is all about! Font Art in Inkscape In this video we introduce the series and share the basics of text and it's manipulation in Inkscape. These techniques are the building blocks for the cooler Font Art we show you how to create later in the series. You won't be creating SVGs just yet. We wanted to give a solid foundation in Inkscape and text to work from first. We aren't stretching this one out though, so you won't have to wait long! We will be releasing a new video every day this week in to Saturday as we go through the five videos in this series. Font Art in Inkscape – The Complete Series Make sure you are checking out our How Two: Coloring Book SVGs – The Complete Series page that has everything for this series conveniently organized in one place! This page has all five videos organized in to one playlist in our recommended viewing order, all the detailed instructions sheets for you to download and print out to make it easier to follow along, and all the sample files. http://www.craftsbytwo.com/home-page/featured/font-art-inkscape-complete-series/ Software Applications Only download applications from their official sites! Other sites may not have your best interests at heart. These applications are freely distributed products, you should never have to buy them to use them. Both sites can be quite slow at times, so be patient. Get Inkscape at: http://inkscape.org - The 'Downloads' menu will let you choose Windows or Mac OS X. -- Windows users will want to choose the 'Installer' link. -- Mac users, there is a bit more work to install Inkscape. To get the Inkscape installer click on the Mountain icon with the green down arrow. Their page also has instructions on how to download and install additional software required to run Inkscape.
