About this Blog:

This blog is written for the beginning to intermediate Macintosh user. While there are many technical information sites, my purpose is to write clear solutions to common Macintosh problems with lots of illustrations to make it easy to follow along.

In my work as a consultant, I must keep my computer up-to-date, so illustrations and directions will be made from the latest version of the Mac OS X operating system.

ScreenCastOnline Tutorial for Vector Designer

Don McAllister of ScreenCastsOnline stays very busy producing his weekly screencast. Last week's episode was a tutorial on VectorDesigner, a piece of software included in the January MacHeist bundle. I bought the bundle, downloaded the software and filed away my new serial numbers, then got busy with all of my current projects.

I own Adobe Illustrator. I can't say I use it much, but I occasionally work with a client who needs help and I can usually figure out what is wrong or I can point them to a good resource for help. The learning curve for Illustrator is so steep, that I just never use it for my own projects.

However, I certainly need a tool to help me produce vector graphics easily – and oh, yes, I need a quick tutorial to get me going. Don's latest screencast has caused me to take a fresh look at VectorDesigner. His tutorial is easy to follow and in less than 30 minutes, I now feel ready to tackle a project or two.

Be sure to check out the ScreenCastsOnline shownote if you want to buy a copy of VectorDesigner as Don has secured a $10 discount for his listeners.

There is a new MacHeist bundle. Check out the details at the web site and be sure to look for more tutorials at ScreenCastsOnline!.
