INKSCAPE Intro
Since we are unable to use Adobe Illustrator we are going to switch gears to a very similar program. It is not as powerful as Illustrator, but it will get us through what we need. The good news is that it is free. Go to the web and type in “What is Inkscape” into the search bar. Read a little to get an idea of what it is.
