Graphics & Creativity

Wakuu mchango wangu in the world of graphics is almost zero, lakini ningependa kuwafagilia some of the staff humu ndani ni soo. Wakuu mko fiti.

I have a friend who is trying to make it, please visit his site and give him some advice. The URL: GALACHA.Tovuti ya Katuni

Nipeni kipindi wanainchi ningependa kuwafikia lakini labda nimeisha chelewa kujifunza.

wakuu naomba nipate kutumiwa angalau kitabu tu,maana mi ngumbalu wa kutupwa kwenye hii

Ukitaka kujifunza mambo haya, moja ya computer program/application unazoweza kutumia kwa kazi hii inaitwa Photoshop. Muulize Invisible namna ya kupata hiyo program; iliwekwa humu jamvini kwa ajili yenu (portable version, ambayo ni ndogo na rahisi ku-download).

Kingine ni tutorials, ujifunze namna ya kuitumia Photoshop. Tutorials zilizoko kwenye video format ni bomba zaidi.

Internet ina mambo mengi sana, na mapya huja kila siku. Ni ujanja wako tu ku-search kutafuta hiki au kile.
Mfano mmoja wa tutorial angalia hapa, pia tembelea YouTube - kwenye search box tumbukiza photoshop.

I have been working with these application on Linux and I have seen people doing good stuff on them:-

GIMP

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc.


Inkscape


An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.
Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development.








Xara Xtreme



Xara for Linux is a powerful, general purpose graphics program for Unix platforms including Linux, FreeBSD and (in development) OS-X.





Well there are the few that I have used a little here and there.

I have a site for cartoon url: http://www.galachakatuni.com/katuni but shortly the name site will be changed to www.galacha.com/katuni to create rooms for other activities to be included in Galacha.

I have GALACHA Wear, i will communicate how to get them Tshirts with round for 12,000 Only and Polo style 15,000.
Thanks

hi all, i've been away for a while, busy doing some other works... good thing is i've seen the post is going well but with my surprise everyone keeps bragging about how to learn designing and few playing teachers showing what to use and all....

As a reminder, the reason of the post is to upload your works, so if you know how to design or not, just upload what you can and then ask for advice...

attached is a small artwork that maybe useful to some people...


Cheers

mmhh, ok ni lugha au nini ndo inasumbua hapo kweli sijajua...

jamani kwa wale wanayetaka vitabu au programms za hizi softwares kuna sehemu muafaka inayoitwa jf store, kule utapata kila kitu, na kwa wale wenye roho za kujitolea sana kuwapa hizo tutorials or programms wekeni huko jf store this is not the right place.

Hii sehemu ni only ya kutest what you can do... or get an advice on how to improve... or to learn from experience. sasa acha nirudie, kama unatafuta vitabu au tutorials angalia chini from home utaona jf store kule kuna kila kitu... ukipost hapa try kupost kazi au ushauri wa kazi iliyo postiwa before tu.
