Inkscape Half Image Half Text Poster Art Tutorial

[@rtc3000]

Magic at work here. You should be called Inkscape Guru!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Haha! Thanks! Maybe some day.

[@annaana]

Thank you for making these tutorials!!! I have no experience with design programs. I am on my 2nd week of using Inkscape and its because of you i haven't quit using it. You have a great ability to take something so overwhelming and keeping it simple, yet productive.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much! So glad you're trying Inkscape. It really is powerful and can be a lot of fun. It's not super user-friendly which is what I try to smooth out in my videos.

[@MM-pv6jj]

I am a newbie to Inkscape with lots to learn. Tried this and it worked for me yay! You describe it so well. Just about to subscribe. Thank you

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much!

[@2nicolerenee]

I've wanted to learn how to do this for so long. Thank you so much for sharing! Your videos are beyond helpful.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks so much. I love making these things!

[@ninak.4503]

Oh, thank you so much, Rick, every single tutorial includes something new to me and inspires me to come up with new ideas!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks! I love exploring Inkscape.

[@adelekezakariyau2085]

Thank you my tutor, I am looking forward to more exciting on, do not forget my own questions

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!! I remember your questions about video with Inkscape. I'm working on a simple animation trick, but Inkscape doesn't have video capabilities. We can use it for the graphics that are made into gifs or animation, but an outside program is needed. Video overlays- for sure. Did you have something interesting in mind?

[@remainsilentclothing]

Could watch your videos all day!! Keep up the great work!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!! I wish I could make them all day. Much to explore!

[@kelvinsenteza]

So like, I'm new to Inkscape (don't have money for Illustrator) and wow - your tuts are the best I've found! Like, wow! Thanks a mega lot

[@CTRL_SMarcos]

Fantastic, thank you so much for the video. To resize the canvas, the shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+R. I use it all the time 😊

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!! I didn't know there was a shortcut for it. Excellent!

[@rajshah5524]

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks! Fun to do!

[@Drugvigil]

Fantastic bro.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks!

[@pawel040408]

Awesome!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks!!

[@michaelgombeda2164]

Awesome video Thanks for all the great tutorials. What if you wanted the text to avoid an object within the shape? For example in this case the eye, is that possible?

[@arunverma210891]

Right here with ya, bro

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks! Thanks man.

[@JeffClayJohnson]

Excellent tutorial, thank you, definitely subscribing! Is there any way of right-justifying the text?

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks so much!! Yes, there is a way to right-justify text. If you have some text and are on the Text tool, up in the top menu bar towards the middle you'll see the Text Alignment icon. Clicking on it gives you dropdown choices of Left align text, center, and the third one down is Right Alignment. Hope this helps!

[@allark9650]

Just want you to know you're truly appreciated and thank you for the detailed explanation, just one question ❓⁉️, and of course I'll look it up on your other videos .... how do you upload the Google fonts to Inkscape? Keep them coming.... started Inkscape last week because of you and I'm not tech savvy 😅....your videos are great 👍

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much!! When you download a Google font, you'll get a folder with the different font formats. Open the version you want, and click on the specici font variation you want to install. It will open an example of the font in all sorts of sizes, and in the top left is the Install button. Click Install. Close everything. Restart the computer and when you open up Inkscape it will be a choice in the font list. Hope this helps!

[@allark9650]

Thanks for the guidance, 👍 it worked!!!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Nice!

[@allark9650]

I have another question, so I did a JPG file with this, yes .. .it took me all day 😅, when I exported I did the custom sizing on the document, the finished product and it would not let me do the size or the DPI, if I switched one it would reverse....so I had to revise it on Canva and yes was so small but it took me all day....not your fault, I improvised....this is the second one I did I believe the 1st file was a PNG....the question is...if it's a JPG can it resize on Inkscape?

[@renegade1283]

Great video as usual. How about doing one simulating text as a neon light or even an image? Cheers

[@joaliance1]

thank you Prof

[@IronEchoDesign]

Haha. Thanks!

[@EJ3.16]

Very good very nice excellent excellent thank you again,, but I have a question can you PLEASE answer I’m using the bezier pen trying to do a drawing but I need to united another drawing I’m doing to the one I already draw how can I attach both and then working with the nodes...???

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks and this is a good question. It can be frustrating when trying to combine images with Combine or Union. Path Operations like that can only be done with paths. You could try to do Trace Bitmap first on each image to get them in vector formats, but it's still tricky after that. This is one of the few times I go to Photoshop instead of Inkscape. A raster program like Photoshop or Affinity Photo is better suited for compositing. Orrrrr... if I'm understanding you wrong and you're trying to combine two bezier paths you drew in Inkscape- select both paths and choose Path - Combine. Hope one of these suggestions helps!

[@EJ3.16]

@@IronEchoDesign wow okay 👍🏻 okay 👍🏻 thank you much that help appreciate it for your good teaching my best wishes for your upcoming videos...

[@gabbierichardson5944]

how do you do this for a photo with a background that not 1 solid color?

[@graphguy]

Very cool

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!

[@graphguy]

@@IronEchoDesign how about the version where the cat image is composed of thousands of smaller photos (either of the cat OR of other photos)? Seen that? We recently went to the Charles Schulz (Peanuts) museum and one whole wall as you walked in was a giant cartoon, but as you got closer you found out it was made of thousands of tiles that each had their own cartoon on, it was very cool.

[@thealchemist_254]

quite helpful,im really looking up for more of such videos but with human faces please, if you dont mind good sir..

[@Brainiac3138]

I'm pretty new to this. That said, I tried flowing my text into a shape I created - a Christmas tree I created using the polygon shape to create it. I am unable to get this to work so, I'm quite sure I did something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Nick.

[@dragonlord0666]

is it possible to take an image (svg) and fill it randomly with other images (svg) ideally with the size varying too?

[@IronEchoDesign]

I know what you're talking about, and that's a cool look. I'll play around with it and see if I can get the technique down. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@FASIGMAN]

Thank you

[@veronicacamacho8118]

Change the "Program" from Agressive TE to Analog Base 1 TE inside the GMS setup equlizer panel..

[@IronEchoDesign]

For the voice audio? Or intro music?

[@MaaikeLaverman]

What version do you have in inkscape? as in 64 or 32 bit,

[@IronEchoDesign]

I believe 64 bit. I’m using Windows on a 5 year old computer. I think this video was made with Inkscape version 1.2

[@MaaikeLaverman]

@@IronEchoDesign Thank you so much!

[@CharlesSimonOkia]

after doing the same my last step failed

[@Brainiac3138]

I meant Rick - apologies.
