Graphics


While I was in CÉGEP I used to get together with my friends from the astrophysics committee and then design fractals on the computer and watch psychedelic movies that exploited a camera's magnetic field (as well as Pink Floyd's groove) to make amazing light effects.

I thought these days were gone... Before I downloaded Inkscape. Inkscape is the open source version of Adobe Illustrator, and it is used for making vectorial graphics, which in turn are widely used to make logos, patterns, etc.

If one day you want to have fun. Download Inkscape. Draw a star. Then pull it inside out, drag it around with your mouse. Click on the nodes button and play around with them. Rarely had such a fun time with computer software...
