_My Results:

It took me a while to get a grasp on Inkscape's UI after years of Illustrator but this is the end product. I wouldn't call it refined, certainly not good enough for professional design work but it'll do. So with that in mind, I'd say we're ready to move onto another logo, one of greater complexity.

This logo made use of the Bezier tool, elipse, text, and gradients. I'll need to look more into Inkscape's index of features to figure out what to do next but I say it's an ok start. My assessment of the program is that it's almost an inverse of Illustrator, being more keyboard dominant than working more with a mouse. Old habits die hard, too. A lot of keyboard shortcuts I need to unlearn. Actually, instead of a logo, let's work on revising the .SVG of the personal data sheets, see if we can get them to fit a proper 6x4 format more precisely.

_For Tomorrow:

Up next is shitposting. Seems like that's what I'll be doing a lot with GIMP but I'd still like to learn not so much for photo-editing but more for making thumbnails, book covers and the like. Heck, why not start today?

_Recapping the Previous Sessions:

Last night I tried my hand at programming. Got the machine to say Hello World!, not hard. Just a simple

>>>print("Hello World!") and hit enter.

They say if you can do that then you can program anything. Don't quote me on that. Needed ChatGPT to do a lot of heavy lifting but I'm using it to teach me so that I know every inch of that code and then one day I can do it on my own. It's a good teacher so far.

They coffee mug still needs finishing before I finally render it, that'll be a fun experiment. Other than that, just dealing with personal problems. A good project or two will keep you out of your own head when it's necessary.

_Final Thoughts:

Happy with my progress so far. I'll continue to use ChatGPT to help guide me through problems and with enough time, I'll be able to coast through the projects on my own. Getting to a point where I'm comfortable enough using the list of software is good enough for me.
