6PM – Graphic Design Using Inkscape with Jake Rayson
Graphic design for the masses! You know that you need to do that flow chart, wireframe, presentation, or cute portrait of your cat using vector graphics (so you can blow it up to wall size and scare the fur off her back), but you don’t want to plunk down £1000+ for Adobe CS5. That’s where open source vector graphics program Inkscape comes in. Jake will take you through the basics, and was nice enough to provide a detailed list of them:
1. Welcome to Inkscape v0.47!
2. Creating images: Bitmap vs. Vector
3. Using images: Print vs. Web
4. Shapes: fill, stroke, transform.
5. The wonder of Bezier Curves.
6. Creating type.
7. Crack Compound Paths.
8. Combining bitmap & vector.
9. Export for Web!
Please download Inkscape from http://inkscape.org/ before the workshop, but if you can’t, then we’ll have some copies laying about.
7:45PM – Animation in Processing with Alias
So you know Processing and/or Flash, now how do you make your pretty graphics move around the screen in ways more interesting than left-to-right and then right-to-left? Cue Alias and “Animation in Processing.” In this workshop, we will cover the basics of getting things moving in Processing, starting with simple 2D sprites, moving on to more complex concepts like using tween equations, and finally touching on 3D animation using OpenGL. This is an intermediate level workshop – a little knowledge of Processing is advisable, but you should be able to pick things up if you are reasonably familiar with the basic concepts.
