This briefing introduces designers and publishers who are moving beyond the limited set of possibilities offered commercially available publishing tools.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will look at three key tools: &#8216;The Gimp&#8217; (an open source bitmap graphics tool, like Adobe Photoshop), &#8216;Inkscape&#8217; (an open source vector illustration tool, like Adobe Illustrator), and Scribus \u2013 an open source layout tool like Quark Express or Adobe InDesign.<\/p>\n<p>But besides specific tools, this briefing moves beyond outmoded boundaries in the publishing process between writing, designing, and printing: between the page and the &#8216;Net. Attendees will hear from presenters how dispensing with these boundaries creates immense creative and business opportunities for cross-format experimentation in the future of print and publishing.<\/p>\n<p>This briefing will be presented by Simon Worthington and Laura Oldenbourg of Mute Magazine and Openmute.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;What we make is often defined by what tools we can use to make it&#8221; is the motto of an Open Source Publishing event coming up in London.
