Computers used to be about crunching numbers and preparing letters and other business documents.

But things have changed. More of us are using computers for entertainment. Or, we use them to indulge our creative side.

So software like Illustrator and CorelDraw were produced. These programs allow you to draw scalable vector graphics.

Okay, scalable vector graphics means nothing to most people. Basically, they can be resized without loss of quality.

Any aspiring graphic designer or illustrator should have a program like Illustrator or CorelDraw. Unfortunately, their prices are too high for many people.

Well, Inkscape is a free competitor to programs like Illustrator. So, you can unleash your creative side without cracking open your wallet!
