Thanks for the insight Duffy. Sorry team, rush hour traffic saw me miss 
yesterday's meeting. It was happening at 7pm local time. Put things in place to 
make sure I don't miss the next one.

Kind regards.

Inkscape wasn't built specifically for UI design and is a much more

UI design.


Honestly, export tools in inkscape suck. And you cannot reuse elements 
(you can with linked duplicates, but updating a linked duplicate 
doesn't update original, while the reverse works).


I had not looked at it for a while, but there is also Pencil [1]. It is 
an open-source UI mockup tool, that also has export to HTML with some 
support for interactive mockups. Not sure how it compares to sketch 3, 
as it is appears to be a mac-only application that costs 99$, and I 
can't try it out to compare.


I just fired it up for the first time in a while, and actually looks 
pretty solid. (It is also available in the Fedora repos)


Might be interesting to work on a adwaita set of templates for mocking 
up apps for Fedora Workstation.

They'll launch in two weeks. Inkscape gets things done faster.
Lesser adjustments to make and all.

Symbols are part of the SVG standard 1.1 since a long time, Inkscape
integrated it with version 0.91, so Fedora user can already use it.
Inkscape brings a set of symbol library as default stored under .../symbols
you can open the dialog with choosing object->symbols or Ctrl-Shift-Y and
just drag & drop in the needed one. Visio stencil files .vss can also be
used as symbol librarys.
The feature to convert a drawing into an symbol isnt integrated yet but
will come, but it can be done by hand

You might be right. I'll give Sketch a try to see how it works. I bet it must 
be good. All in all, it depends on how you do your interface design. For 
example, if you can draw a gradient background in code, wouldn't that be better 
than using an image that would have to be resized in certain instances? Isn't 
it easier and more efficient if the screen orientation might have to be

Believe me, Sketch is one of a kind. You can edit vector inside Sketch as
it's vector editor too. But the tools and organization is more focused
towards UI design rather than complex icon designs. I've never needed to
redo my designs or adjust them in another tool, except raster images.

That is true, but it's always good when things are easier to do. I find
Inkscape much better when doing icons and stuff.

There's quite a few of us who use the FLOSS tools without issue. The 
main challenge is if you have to use spot colors; it's possible but a 
little hacky. I find Inkscape and Gimp to be more feature-rich than 
their proprietary cousins.

Re: [Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?

Morning.

I have been working with design for over 10 years now using only OpenSource
Tools. I've worked at a Linux Education Institute where we had to develop
courses and marketing (web, printed and for tv); and never had a problem. I
also worked for my country's (.ve) and Guatemala's government (again, only
OpenSource tools) and right now I'm building my personal business as a
photographer (again, editing only with OpenSource).

I have seen people who do fantastic things using Non-Open tools, but I have
also seen some terrible mistakes. For me, a professional designer is not
about the tool, but more about the eye of the user who can put his/hers
ideas on paper/screen.

Have a great day.

Re: [Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?

[Satyajit Sahoo]

Have you used Sketch? It lets you design UI much faster and the export
tools are awesome.

Inkscape wasn't built specifically for UI design and is a much more generic
vector editor, so it cannot match a tool made specifically for UI design.

Honestly, export tools in inkscape suck. And you cannot reuse elements (you
can with linked duplicates, but updating a linked duplicate doesn't update
original, while the reverse works).

I disagree with you to some extent. I'd say mostly. Right now I'm doing the 
JavaME service access point (fancy name for app) for a County B.I. system for 
one of the counties here in Kenya. The UI is basically built by code, so the 
images and icons are more important in this case. Inkscape and Corel helped me 
get done with the design in a little over 3 days into the development period. 
They'll launch in two weeks. Inkscape gets things done faster. Lesser 
adjustments to make and all.

I use Sketch. Inkscape is still great for icon design, but Sketch beats it
in UI design and the export tool.

Re: [Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?

[Christopher Wambugu]

I can proficiently do design using the following tools:

CorelDraw (I have a licensed X6)
Corel Photo Paint
Adobe Illustrator
Photoshop
Inkscape

Inkscape does a great job and is comparable to CorelDraw. I prefer the two 
actually.

[Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?

[Samuel Marques]

You can be a professional graphic designer using the open source tools?
without using Adobe products?
because in college only teach it, just gave an idea of what is the free
design, but the focus is more on Adobe software such as Photoshop,
Illustrator and InDesign.

I particularly tried to learn to use the gimp, scribus and inkscape and the
only one that pleased me doi the sribus to replace InDesign.

So I wonder if you can get success, being free, since in my opinion the
tools lose some of the other software.
