I have uploaded screencast Episode 028 to screencasters.heathenx.org this afternoon. This screencast illustrates how to create a ribbon over some logo text with Inkscape.

I was surfin’ the ‘net over the weekend and found several images that had ribbons on them. That got me thinking about how one might go about this sort of thing in Inkscape. Of course, like always, I took the simplest route in making my ribbon. I drew it with straight edges where as curved edges would have been more realistic or looked a little nicer. I suppose if I wanted to make a really nice ribbon for graphic project then I would definitely take some extra time there.

Good news is that I got this screencast under 10 minutes since I didn’t dilly-dally during the recording process. This means that I’ll have a low-res version posted on YouTube as well. My last few screencasts were over budget regarding time and that is why they are not posted on YouTube. I know what you’re thinking…why don’t you cut them up in two parts like Richard? Honestly, I don’t have the attention span to…hey! is that a chicken?
