Cool Online Design Magazine - DeZeen


Ever so often I bump into a really nice design magazine online, Dezeen
is exactly such a magazine...

Inkscape. Draw Freely.

The only missing part of the package - a vector graphics editor - as alway, open source and entirely free...
Inkscape. Draw Freely.

Captain Internet has finally discovered GIMP

A while back I told you about the open source sister to Adobe Photoshop - an application called GIMP.
Today it is featured on Haaretz's Captian Internet column as "news". This is amusing to me as GIMP has been around for so many years that it was used for the creation of the original Google logo...

Those of you who wish to download GIMP will find the link and a link to tutorials in Hebrew in the article:
במקום להוריד פוטושופ - חדשות -הארץ

If you are looking for a free 3D application you may want to check out Blender.

Photoshop costs around 1200$, Max or Maya - above 5000$.
You can save over 6200$ by clicking these two links - not bad eh?
