Here a variety of programs will be listed. The topics will vary greatly and depend upon what I am most interested in at the time, and have experience with using.

Capable of creating books, posters, flyers, and any type of digital document with graphical design. Scribus offers a very modern and user-friendly interface while still packing in the features for more advanced users.

More importantly, they are still using the 3D Graphic warehouse Google set up when they owned the product. In the 3D warehouse designers can share their models for others to use, learn from, and change up for themselves under CC license. This excellent software can be found by: Clicking here.
