Video: Inkscape for Beginners: Retro Style Text Tutorial

In today's tutorial I'll be demonstrating how to design some vintage style letters and text in vector format using Inkscape. This tutorial emphasises the usefulness of the masking feature, which when used properly, adds a nice aged appearance to the design.

This tutorial is for Inkscape version 0.48 and is intended to teach beginners how to use the software. Inkscape is a great free alternative to Illustrator and Corel Draw.
