Outstanding!!!! I was looking for a way to revamp some POD designs, now I have another fantastic option. Thanks. Now to watch it again & again etc so I get it right
@@IronEchoDesign Hey Rick, well I followed your tut using an old design but can't load it yet cause I might have stepped on some ones copyright, but the design is great! thanks. I'm a bit confused about the custom colour palette, I've checked out other vids but while I'm thinking it looks easy I screw it up, "who'd a thunk that?" do you have any vids that cover it? I couldn't see any. Thanks PS I'm getting by without custom palettes but?
Do you mean the squares on the canvas? You can make the color palette with the Squares and Rectangles Tool. Draw open a square for as many colors as you want, and chsnge the fill for each one. I put the color pslette on the canvas for speed during the tutorial. It doesnt exist the first time i make a design, unless i bring in one I've used before.
Brilliant, i use Inkscape for my print on demand attempts and had some questions about using layers to create multiple variations on one design. Thank you very much. Im lookin forward to your next video's.
Oh wow! Thank you so much for teaching us these functionalities I wasn’t even aware of! Always got annoyed with the auto-scaling of strokes by size of objects! And the “objects…” with object layer dropdown is another thing I wasn’t aware of. Was having to do a lot of PowerPoint slide designs for an upcoming talk we do on biodiversity (client demands engaging data visualisation 😪), but once done I’ll be diving right back into Inkscape 🤩🤩🤩 such fun! As always, thank you.
Now that's a great question. I'll do some more research on the subject. It comes up quite a bit as one of the program's drawbacks. From my experience with Print on Demand at least, the outlets I use have done great with RGB. However, I understand some high end printers and screen printing want CMYK.
Awesome tutorial. Cant wait to keep playing with Inkspace and watching your videos. Interesting how all the little things. Took me an hour to figure out why my start wasnt pointy..... lol. Damn you stroke...
Thanks for this fantastic tutorial. I have two additional questions: 1. How do you center the round text, it doesn’t click when I try it. 2. How do you save as .dxf and getting rid of the guide circles in the dxf ? They’re always included. Even when I made them transparent. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the lessons! Unfortunately, I can't replicate the lesson - I don't have the sticky panel at the top of the Inkscape program. In general, the new version is a bit different from the old one I'm used to.
Thanks! Yes, the new versions have tweaked quite a bit. Mostly for the better though. The side menu might be able to get back on top by going to View- and towards the bottom of the dropdown menu deselect Widescreen if you see it selected. Hope this helps!
Yes! Go to View in the very top menu, and in the dropdown that appears look towards the bottom. You'll see choices of Default, Custom, and Wide. Click Custom and that should put the toolbars like I have in this video. Hope this helps!
Good question. If you're on a PC, you should have a built in tool called Snip & Sketch or Snipping Tool. Click the Windows start icon on the bottom desktop menu and start typing "snip". It should pop up and you can then do screen captures. Let me know if that works!
Great Tutorial. I'm hobbling through. All my buttons look different. Specifically can't find the snapping guides. What version are you using here? I have 1.0.2-2 (e86c870879, 2021-01-15) which I think it is the latest.
Thanks, and I should update this video. Made this tutorial before the current Inkscape versions were out. Now the snapping guides are in the upper right hand corner, and you have to hit the triangle next to the magnet icon to see all the options. Hope this helps!
As the video starts, you already have in a color pallet and design showing on the left. I did not see how you put that in the Color Pallet layer. I tried to follow but am stuck on that. Thanks Perry
You can create a color palette by making the squares with the square tool. If the color codes aren't listed in the description, one option is to screenshot the video and use color picker to fill the squares to match the video. Hope this helps!
Do you know why when I select a pattern it only shows white color options and no matter what I select, I can’t see the pattern on my screen…even with node tool.
Hello sir how are you, I hope all is well with you and you family. I have been having problem with my ink stitch Inkscape, I'm using a older laptop could that be the problem it, It runs really slow and when I'm trying to save as it says that ink stitch is not responding. Do you guys have a suggestion
Hello! I've been there. I have an older laptop that I still use here and there. It crashes my Inkscape too when I try to do more complicated functions. I believe the problem is not enough RAM. There are ways to upgrade RAM on an old device, but at this point I'm probably going to wait until I have a need for a new laptop and go that route. Hope this helps!
@@IronEchoDesign Looks like a flower at 50 points with elogated rounded ends. I did figure out the inside circle is the "spoke ratio" I am a complete noob. Sorry . I wish I could share the screenshot with you of what's actually going on.
The menu has been revamped. Try going to Objects in the top menu, Objects and Layers. You are right the new menu is different, combined. You can open each layer to show the objects. I'll log in to help if you it's still not working. Let me know.
@@IronEchoDesign I've deleted and, uninstalled program, reinstalled program, and no there is no delta on my end. I am simply following your video, step by step. So if you did not have us create something on layer one there won't be something on layer one.
Okay, I'm really sorry. I'm not sure what I can do to help. What version of Inkscape are you using, and I'll go through on my end to see if I can replicate the missing delta and help with a workaround.
As so often, you have saved me a lot of time. Thank you so much. Be good today, be better tomorrow! See you tomorrow, Rick.
Thanks so much! I like that- be good today, better tomorrow. Very nice!
As always, my mind is racing with ideas! Would love to see more template tutorials. Can't wait to see what you teach me next! Thank you so much, sir.
Thanks so much!! I have a couple more template ideas I'm working on.

@@IronEchoDesign haha thanks! I love giving presentations... NOT! 😬😅
great tips as usual
Thank you Geoff!
Awesome tutorial even though I struggled to keep up 😊
Thanks so much!! I packed a bunch of stuff in this one- I'll work on my pacing!
I love your tutorials so much, thank you for spending time and effort to make them. I also love the intro XD
Thanks so much!! I'm trying to make them interesting, and I like to open quick.
AWESOME VIDEO THANKS!!!!!!!!!😊
Thank you!!
Can you make a video on how does Inkscape deals with colors for printing (CMYK)?
Now that's a great question. I'll do some more research on the subject. It comes up quite a bit as one of the program's drawbacks. From my experience with Print on Demand at least, the outlets I use have done great with RGB. However, I understand some high end printers and screen printing want CMYK.
Love it thank you
Thank you!! I love making these.

Perfect tutorial, that's all I need..
Nice, thank you!!
Thanks
Thank you very much, Martin! I really appreciate the support, and I’ll keep making these. Many, many thanks!
Muchísimas gracias, realmente tu trabajo es genial y ayudas mucho a la comunidad.
Muchas gracias!
Awesome....
Thanks!!
thank you please make a video on how to create patterns
Thanks! I have a few pattern tutorials on this channel. Is there a design you have in mind you'd like to see?
@@IronEchoDesign thanks sure
Thanks for this fantastic tutorial. I have two additional questions:
1. How do you center the round text, it doesn’t click when I try it.
2. How do you save as .dxf and getting rid of the guide circles in the dxf ? They’re always included. Even when I made them transparent.
Thanks a lot!
I forgot:
How can I change the size of the final logo?
nice day
Thanks! You too!
@@IronEchoDesign please make other open source software tutorials like gimp and krita and more
I'd love to. Thanks. Need to find the time to expand some day.
Thank you for the lessons! Unfortunately, I can't replicate the lesson - I don't have the sticky panel at the top of the Inkscape program. In general, the new version is a bit different from the old one I'm used to.

is there a way to move the snapping bar from the right side to the top
Yes! Go to View in the very top menu, and in the dropdown that appears look towards the bottom. You'll see choices of Default, Custom, and Wide. Click Custom and that should put the toolbars like I have in this video. Hope this helps!
@@IronEchoDesign Thanks it worded :-)
Nice!
HPW DO YOU DO A SCREEN CAPTURE OF THE COLORS?
Good question. If you're on a PC, you should have a built in tool called Snip & Sketch or Snipping Tool. Click the Windows start icon on the bottom desktop menu and start typing "snip". It should pop up and you can then do screen captures. Let me know if that works!
Do you know, when is Inkscape 1.2 will be realese?
I think they're getting closer, and resolving some bugs right now. Last I heard it was May 2022, but I could be wrong.
Great Tutorial. I'm hobbling through. All my buttons look different. Specifically can't find the snapping guides. What version are you using here? I have 1.0.2-2 (e86c870879, 2021-01-15) which I think it is the latest.

well darn I'm doing this one - but No Guides Creator in Nov 2023 version???
It was moved in Inkscape 1.3. Now found under Extensions>>Document>>Guides Creator. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for these tutorial. Can you also kindly zoom in your screen next time?
Thank you! And that's a great suggestion. When I watch these back I realize zooming into detail would be helpful. Thank you.
Now at the 200 point star and I get a smooth circle within a circle
This could have something to do with scale. What does it look like at 50 points? Or 100?
@@IronEchoDesign Looks like a flower at 50 points with elogated rounded ends. I did figure out the inside circle is the "spoke ratio" I am a complete noob. Sorry . I wish I could share the screenshot with you of what's actually going on.
So when I go to Objects, I only have Layers and objects and do not get the same result as you.
The menu has been revamped. Try going to Objects in the top menu, Objects and Layers. You are right the new menu is different, combined. You can open each layer to show the objects. I'll log in to help if you it's still not working. Let me know.
@@IronEchoDesign So started over. I have layer 1 and no delta to check that layer. So there is missing information on the first layer.
The delta will appear once there is an object or something on that layer. Is there anything created yet for layer 1?

where do you even find the "guides creator"??? i can't find it anywhere in inkscape! i have the latest version 1.3
