Set up a Grid to guide drawing objects.ĥ. Download Inkscape for the right system bit of your computer.ģ. Without further delay, hope you'll learn the following things quickly out of this Instructable: 1. It's my first time since digital age to download a typeface to my computer. I downloaded a free font called Baystyle typeface by Ekloff and used it in the cover photo of this Instructable ( 'A logo' is Baystyle typeface). I signed up for its blog (I highly recommend again). If not for this contest, I didn't know it exists. I checked out Creative Market (I highly recommend).

I'm teaching myself Inkscape with the book: Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program (4th Edition). As far as graphic design is concerned, If you're a dummy and cheap-y like me, I intend to show you what I have learned very recently: How to design a logo (text, graphic, or text and graphic) in Inkscape (free) and using Creative Market. With that said, if you're a graphic designer, If I haven't lost you yet, except for voting or not voting this Instructable for the Graphic Design Contest, maybe checking out my cooking Instructables is a better thing to do. I get things done on computer if I need to, such as writing Instructables, uploading photos and Youtube videos but I don't understand a thing how computer works, keep forgetting how to upload Youtube videos, etc. That brings up my fourth confession: I'm almost computer illiterate. Third, I don't have professional illustrator software or input tablet, not even a mouse, just a laptop with a touch pad (don't even know that's the right technical name).

Second, I don't make money, so I always have to make things that can be bought, including website logo graphic. First, my drawing and designing skills are not even equivalent of a finger painter.
