Today I did Create a Sticker with Dogeared Edge using inkscape by Ryan Lerch. Below is my result:
This was an Inkscape tutorial. Inkscape is a free vector editor available for all platforms. I used Inkskape Portable.
Utility:
This tutorial is good for familiarizing a beginner to Inkscape with some of Inkscape’s basic functions.
Time to complete:
I finished this tutorial in about 10 minutes.
Recommended for:
Total vector beginners and newcomers to Inkscape.
Room for improvement:
The tutorial says to use Path > Cut Path in step three when in fact the correct action is to use Path > Division. I have two dark spots on the lower right side of my “sticker” and I don’t know why or how to get rid of them. The tutorial also doesn’t explain how to rotate text (use [ or ] keys). This is actually a separate tutorial on Ryan’s blog.
Best part:
The tutorial uses diagrams to helpfully guide the learner through the steps visually.
