Learn Inkscape with Screencasts

Productivity Sauce
Even if you are new to open source software, you've probably heard of Inkscape, a versatile and powerful vector drawing application. But as with any powerful tool, you have to put considerable time and effort into mastering Inkscape's tools and features. Fortunately, the Web provides a plethora of resources and tutorials to get you started, including regular screencasts at the screencasters.heathenx.org Web site. What I like most about these screencasts is that they show you not only how to get to grips with Inkscape's basic functionality, but also demonstrate more advanced and sometimes less conventional uses of this vector drawing package. The screencasts will teach you how to design a business card, a DVD software box, logos, buttons, and wallpapers. But that's not all. Watching the screencasts, you can learn how to create slick charts and graphs, design magazine covers, and use Inkscape as a desktop publishing tool. In other words, even if you are not a graphical designer, the screencasts can help you to turn Inkscape into an indispensable productivity tool.
