yes, but you have to expect to work twice as hard for the same results (and hence probably same amount of money) as your peers. Especially inkscape makes you take a huge productivity hit over illustrator, which is more streamlined, powerful and faster in almost every regard.

Also, you wouldn't use GIMP, you would use krita.

also, it depends on which area you're in, print is going to be really rough, webdesign and other such more modern fields will be more flexible.

Corel Draw / Paint as opposed to Adobe.

I would mention price difference, but it's more a difference in price model now.

I'm used to inkscape and I find it way faster than Illustrator, it's just a matter of experience. I'm no pro graphic designer though (and I don't need/have gradient meshes)

Hey guys can someone do me a favour and make two versions of this image? I'm setting this as my background and got a cool idea. If you could make the blue into:
Crimson Red #DC143C (220,20,60)
Lime Green #32CD32 (50,205,50)

If ya'll pros could do it with the change of colours for shadows and different parts of the image as the original has it that would be awesome man! ;) Same black background obv, I owe ya!

How do you make a presentation folio of your work? I cant seem to get past the basic idea that youre just displaying the basic layout or whatever and theres only a limited way of doing that.

Don't be too creative when putting together a portfolio. You can easily overdue it and the work which you're highlighting becomes lost.

Keep it clean and simple; straight to the point. Place emphasis on the work and let it speak for itself. Do it right though. Use common sense when it comes to image and type size, font choices, etc.

Your portfolio will not be reviewed like an art/design piece. It will be flipped through in 2-3 minutes tops, and probably by someone who has little to no formal design training or experience.

8x10, landscape or portrait, is a good size to go with. It's bigger then most books, but still won't wipe out an entire desk or be difficult to handle.

That's what you feel because your portfolio probably isn't ready? The only thing that counts is the content (visually strong) followed by a coherent description.

A perfectly fitting wardrobe doesn't make an ugly man looking good... Then we can argue about ethics and aesthetics but it isn't the point.

Make the margins between the edge and fruit the same as the text and the edge on the sides. Also text is harder to read while centered.

much better IMO, maybe try with a black font?

also, why "supporting" rather than "support"? I'm no editor/copywriter, but "support" seems more natural to me.

Because it's referring to the market. "Support" would be correct if OP wanted to address those who are reading.

if you have photoshop, you have camera raw, which is pretty much like lightroom.
Try adding clarity and then tweek the temperature. And whiten your blacks.
But remember, before color grading you have to color correct!

I'm sure you do something vaguely interesting involving crafts at holiday times like putting rings of flaming candles on a little girl's head while she carries the ceremonial loaf of St. Salope down to the shtetl elders at the mosque and the traditional bouzouki troupe plays the Internationale while the streets are filled with the scent of boiled goat.

the sourcecode is on github, I don't know how exactly, but its probably not very hard. figure out which UI toolkit it uses, look up how to display animated images with that UI toolkit, then change the code that displays the splash.

The splash didn't load when I renamed it to .png.
I just put it in the folder with the usual filename "gimp-splash" and it worked. Kind of glitchy but it worked.
I never got it to work before which is weird. Maybe they added support for .gif splash screens in the latest update.
