GIMP Class - How'd We Do?

[Travis]

Well, I posted the last lesson for our online class on how to use GIMP to create scroll saw portrait patterns. It was a lot of fun, and I hope y'all enjoyed it too. For those of you who started the class (whether you finished it or not), could you do me a favor? I put together a quick survey to gauge how well we've done. Its only 10 questions and will only take a couple minutes to fill out. Everything is completely anonymous, so I'm looking for honest answers. This feedback will help us to continue to bring quality content to our growing community.

 

Thanks for the help, y'all.

 

You can find the survey here.

Hi Travis,

I just found our site the other day. I have a quick question -- is it possible to download the tutorials to my computer? I have a long commute and these would be perfect to help pass the time.

 

Thanks.

Hi Chris. You sure can. For the written instruction, you might want to copy and paste the instructions to a word processor or print them. There's a print button at the top right corner (in the tan box) that will make the forums printer friendly.

 

If you have a video iPod or something similar, you can subscribe to our podcast. We're also listed in the iTunes store, so you can subscribe there too (its all free). If you want the large videos, you can download the .MOV files to your computer. They're really big, though (200+megs each). You can go to our Blip.TV frontpage. Click the Episode Archives in the upper right corner, choose the video you want. On that video page, look for the Files and Links section. There you'll find a link to the original MOV files which you can download (right click, Save As).

 

Let me know if you're having trouble. I'd be glad to help.

 

 

I'm also in the process of putting the entire class on DVD and CD. The DVD will play on a regular DVD player, so you can watch it in the comfort of your living room. The CD will include PDFs of the written instruction and include any source material. Some people don't have the capability of downloading web video, so this is a great alternative. The DVD/CD combo will be cheap (mostly to cover costs). I'm guessing it will be about $10-15 (shipping included). I'll have to see how many disks it takes. I'll keep everybody updated on that status. I'm guessing next week it'll be ready.

Travis, DVD's and CD's are a great idea! Many people have limited time at a computer each day so going through the lessons is not practical. I think making them available to everyone on a DVD or CD puts the tutorials within reach of everyone. Great thinking.
