One little known secret about Microsoft Publisher is how easy it is to use it as a basic graphic design program. Publisher provides us a great backup program (especially for folks who do not have the skill or money to invest in Photoshop and other expensive graphic design programs). I have used it for years, and recently I am using it more than ever to produce beautiful custom design for my digital textiles and mix media work. See SAMPLE or my designs at www.spoonflower.com/profiles/kkitwana
-all (well, most of them) created with Publisher. I am using Publisher 2007, but,have done this with 2003 and earlier versions.
Here the quick and dirty: -you’ll have to play around to get better results over time. CLICK TO SEE
What a great idea! Thank you for posting this - I think it will help many crafters!
ReplyDeleteYes, I find that many crafters can't afford to invest in high priced graphic design software. Nor, are the able to invest the time and money in learning a graphic design program. Therefore, having the ability to design simple graphics using a Microsoft program makes graphic designing accessible to more crafters.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, graphic designing is also possible with MS Paint. I am planning to post that tutorial soon.
