Inkscape Ellipses and Rectangle Activity

The ellipses activity was quite boring but I managed to keep awake and successfully finish it.

I used the 'Ellipses shape tool' and made various circles and ellipses. I used the pointers on the objects to adjust and render them more unique, this helps the circles/ellipses gain a 'tinge' outcome, so to speak. I also made Pac-Man sort of figures by adjusting the pointers. Following that I used Inkscape's effects to further improve its appearance; effects can be accessed by shift+ctrl+F.

It was an extremely boring activity that I have ever done on Inkscape and god, I do not wish to do it again. This is however my personal opinion, after all it is my blog, but still I hope I render no offence to any Inkscape lovers (:.

Here is an image of the ellipses I have done:

On a good note, the rectangle activity I done straight after was by far more of interest and got me quite focused. The rectangle tool in Inkscape is very useful and enables you to create cubes, boxes, rectangles and circular-square like boxes. Of course, this all depends on how you utilise the tool.

Using the rectangle tool I made all sorts of cubes. I made ones that overlapped each other while ones that almost look like atoms or a group of molecules tightly shut-tight. I also used the Inkscape effects in this activity again and for the same reason as well, that is to boost its overall appearance to appeal more to other people.

Here is an image of the use of the rectangle tool:

Overall, the rectangle activity got me intently concentrated while the ellipses activity struck me with its incalculable power of boredom.

  1. your rectangle work looks much better, too, just goes to show that if you are interested then you do better work!
